Between 2008 and 2015, appellants, John Deaton and Deaton Law Firm, LLC, and appellee, Law Offices of Steven M. Johnson, P.C., worked on a mass tort litigation.

Defendant moved to dismiss plaintiffs' patent infringement complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Plaintiffs adequately pled antitrust claims by alleging various anticompetitive acts by defendants designed to prevent or delay market entry of competing products, which resulted in the failure of plaintiffs' product launch.

Court denied claim for contract reformation based on mistake where claimant merely sought to revise an unfavorable deal, although reformation was only meant to fix written contracts that failed to comport with the parties' mutual understanding of their agreement.

Defendant appealed district court's holding it had not proved invalidity in a patent infringement action.

Tortious interference claim against parent corporation failed where plaintiff failed to allege facts supporting an inference that parent acted to maliciously harm plaintiff or was knowingly acting outside its subsidiary's economic interests.
