Our Litigator of the Week is Weil, Gotshal & Manges partner Edward Reines, who co-heads the firm’s patent litigation practice. He led a team representing HP, which was the target of mega-patent litigator Acacia Research Corp..
Acacia sued HP and its customers all around the country—but if it was hoping for a quick settlement given the expense of defending such claims, it was in for a surprise. Reines succeeded in using the MDL process to centralize the cases before U.S. District Chief Judge Barbara Lynn in the Northern District of Texas, where he prevailed on summary judgment. The cherry on top: Lynn deemed the case exceptional, and awarded HP its legal fees.
