We represented Google in defeating a patent infringement suit brought by B.E. Technology over targeted advertising technologies. After multiple claims were invalidated through inter partes review proceedings, the Delaware court then granted summary judgment on the final remaining claim, holding it invalid under Section 101 of the Patent Act as directed to an abstract idea that lacked any inventive concept. The ruling resolved the case in full just weeks before trial.
We represented Commercial Real Estate Exchange, Inc. (CREXi), a fast-growing online commercial real estate marketplace, in competitor litigation against industry giant CoStar. After CoStar filed a complaint against CREXi alleging copyright violations, we asserted antitrust counterclaims–—supported on appeal by the FTC—alleging that CoStar is an unlawful monopolist. We convinced the Ninth Circuit to reverse its dismissal of our antitrust claims in a unanimous, published opinion.
