Black tried three jury cases and an international arbitration, notching up two successive jury verdicts just seven weeks apart in a pair of closely watched and highly complex disputes for major clients.

These cases include a seven-year war involving 50 patents (in Delaware and Texas) and a case concerning Hitachi’s Plug and Play display patent. Black also obtained an expedited win for client SpePharm AG in a licensing dispute against Eisai, Inc., in which the court ruled that Eisai could not terminate a license agreement for the provision of a cancer side-effects drug in Europe.
