Our runners up for Litigator of the Week include McKool Smith chairman Mike McKool, who secured an $85 million patent verdict on behalf of WiLAN against Apple—the full amount that the company requested. A jury in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California found Apple infringed two of WiLAN’s patents, which cover voice over LTE wireless communication technology used in Apple’s iPhone 6 and 7.
The team also included firm principals Scott Cole, Brett E. Cooper, Warren Lipschitz, Ashley N. Moore, Jonathan Yim, and Seth Hasenour.
