Big news yesterday and today! What we learned from R&G's Samsung victory:
1. The Decision was made ONE day later after Oral agrument. Why? Because the PTAB had already decided earlier that two of the three patents were patentable. Since there wasn't PTAB backing on the third patent it is still being reviewed by the Federal Circuit court .
2. Ropes & Gray was named 2019 IP Lawfirm of the year by US News & World report. Why? Because they do not take on cases that they aren't sure they will not win .

A Ropes & Gray litigation team won dual Federal Circuit victories on Jan. 9 for clients Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics America, and Samsung Semiconductor in cases against Imperium IP Holdings (Cayman) Ltd.
The Federal Circuit “Rule 36” decisions, issued the day after oral argument, affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s findings in two inter partes reviews that all claims from two of three patents which Imperium separately asserted against Samsung in litigation in the Eastern District of Texas are unpatentable.
These are major victories for Samsung , because, among other things, the decisions likely mean that at least many millions of dollars from the district court litigation will be cancelled . The Federal Circuit is still considering two remaining appeals, argued at the same time, concerning the district court litigation, for which Samsung presented strong arguments relating to the sole remaining patent.
The Ropes & Gray team included appellate & Supreme Court partner Doug Hallward-Driemeier (Washington, D.C.), IP litigation partners Steven Pepe and Kevin Post and IP litigation senior counsel Jesse Jenner (all of New York), IP counsels Samuel Brenner (Boston) and Alexander Middleton (New York).
