Intellectual Property
CWM is a proven partner for high stakes patent and other intellectual property litigation in the Eastern District of Virginia, particularly the Norfolk Division. Our reputation as effective co-counsel and local counsel is exemplified by our involvement in some of the most notable cases in recent years. We team with firms across the country, including California, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C.
Representing both patent holders and accused infringers, our attorneys have experience with every stage of the fast-paced litigation of the “Rocket Docket,” including motions to transfer venue, motions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, motions to stay pending IPR or CBM review, Markman hearings, motions for summary judgment, jury selection, jury trials, and post-trial disputes over interest, royalties, and design-around efforts.
In 2012, we were part of the successful trial team in one of the largest patent cases tried to jury verdict in the Norfolk Division. In 2014, we were counsel to the successful movant in the first case in the country to be stayed following the PTAB’s application of Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International from the U.S. Supreme Court.
In all of our engagements, we offer targeted, cost-effective representation, coupled with a reputation in the local federal courts earned over the last 97 years.
