Skiermont Derby has been repeatedly recognized for having one of the top patent litigation practices in the country.
Our litigators represent patent owners in industry-defining battles, often against technology and pharmaceutical giants represented by the largest firms. Whether it is securing a $242 million jury verdict against Microsoft, a $25 million settlement from Apple, invalidating pharma patents, thereby allowing generic drugs for treating relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to enter the market, or countless other successful but non-public results, Skiermont Derby has repeatedly taken on the biggest players on the biggest stage and comes out on top.
The firm also has a successful track record of assisting companies that have been accused of patent infringement develop a comprehensive and successful defense in the courtroom. Separately, we partner directly with inventors and businesses to help them enforce and monetize their patents in order to head off any potential future litigation, enlisting the help and advice of recognized experts in the field in question to ensure all aspects of the case have been thoroughly examined.
Our experience in this area spans many technical fields, including aerospace, pharmaceuticals, bio-technology, telecommunications, computer hardware and software, consumer electronics, e-commerce, speech recognition, and many others.
