Chapterhouse vs Gw - Round 2, appeal process
#1
Couldn't find the original thread so thought i would create a new one.
GW seem to be intent on filing an appeal against Chapterhouse.(Edit- Misread this, Chapterhouse are going after GW it seems, after settlement couldn't be sorted!) What they didn't expect was powerhouse US law firms to get involved.

After the initial decision, the head of GW's legal department left (whether walked or pushed is unknown, many assumed pushed as she was reportedly in tears at the hearing).

The reason i bring it up is it could get very interesting from what i have read from the wargaming Lawyers on Dakka. (see below post by him

Hold the phone. There's a new surprise.

Donald R. Steinberg is on the case.

Donald Steinberg is the chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property Department, a member of the firm’s Management Committee, and a member of the Intellectual Property Litigation Practice Group and FinTech Group. He joined the firm in 1994.



This is no joke. Donald Steinberg being on the case is a really big deal.

The first article says of the Broadcom v Qualcom litigation "The WilmerHale team working the case was led by William Lee, Donald Steinberg and others, and in February, the jury returned a verdict of non-infringement on all claims."

William F. Lee is WilmerHale's managing partner and a veritable legend in IP litigation. When I mentioned that WilmerHale represented Apple, it was Mr. Lee who was on the case.

This is really big news. Really big. This case had profile before, but I think it is about to become high profile in mainstream IP litigation.

Chapterhouse Studios is being represented by WilmerHale! Elizabeth Mooney is listed under defense counsel, so WilmerHale is definitely in for Chapterhouse Studios.

This is crazy, and a HUGE development. This means that now Chapterhouse Studios is being represented by 3 major, top-rated US law firms. A new firm at this point, given the supposed break down in settlement negotiations, probably also means that Chapterhouse is planning on an appeal, with at least WilmerHale working on it, if not all three firms.

Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale, and Dorr (WilmerHale) is a serious US law firm with a substantial track record in IP litigation. If any of you folks remember, Apple's counsel in the Apple v Samsung case was Morrison Foerster and WilmerHale.

Mr. Tompros's practice focuses on intellectual property matters at the trial and appellate levels. He has represented clients in patent disputes involving a variety of technologies, including smartphones, semiconductors, networking, alternative energy, pharmaceuticals, blood and bone marrow treatments, power converters, digital imaging, video compression, mobile multimedia, hard drive testing and plastic storage devices. He has also represented companies in design patent, trademark, trade dress, unfair competition, trade secret, contract, antitrust and products liability matters. His practice has encompassed all facets of litigation, including discovery, settlement, alternative dispute resolution, trials, injunction proceedings and appeals. His trial experience includes bench and jury trials in federal and state courts, and before administrative agencies including the International Trade Commission, and his appellate experience includes argument before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Pro bono representation is also an important part of Mr. Tompros's practice. Through the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, he represented an artist whose artwork had been damaged on loan to a museum. He has also represented local Boston non-profit organizations, including the Charlestown Nursery School. He has represented terminated employees in unemployment insurance claims and appeals, and public housing tenants facing eviction. Mr. Tompros also represented a group of gay and lesbian service members challenging the constitutionality of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, in association with the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.



Wow, put that in your pipe GW! It's a trifecta!
