High-stakes, high-profile and complex litigation yielded huge results for Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe’s intellectual property team in 2012. "We’ve seen a great outcome for our clients," said group leader Steve Routh. "We’ve gotten great victories."
A significant part of the practice deals with competitors or partners in joint relationships who steal technology or intellectual property, Routh said. For example, Orrick won a jury verdict of $112 million for Brocade Communications Systems Inc. and Foundry Networks Inc. in an infringement case against A10 Networks Inc. Orrick alleged that A10′s device infringed on 13 separate Brocade patents, misappropriated more than 70 trade secrets and directly copied Brocade’s source code. Additionally, A10 had hired several Brocade employees to "moonlight."
