South Florida lawyers Christopher Spuches of Agentis and Javier J. Rodriguez of Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr joined forces to win a $19.5 million jury verdict for Coral Gables software company Kipu Systems LLC, which claimed a competitor ripped off its electronic medical records system by reverse engineering it.

It was a complex, three-week trial involving an alleged clandestine scheme and a mysterious IP address more than 5,000 miles away.
