We had some great nominations for Litigator of the Week. Our finalists include Dechert’s Christopher Ruhland and Jonathan Loeb, who won a complete defense verdict on behalf of Quest Diagnostics in a patent fight with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

A federal jury in Los Angeles rejected claims by Cedars-Sinai that Quest infringed a patent for a method of detecting irritable bowel syndrome, misappropriated trade secrets and breached a confidentiality agreement.
