Overview
Representing Dow AgroSciences, a complete defense verdict was obtained in a patent infringement jury trial case involving insect resistant transgenic corn. Two patents were dismissed as not infringed based on summary judgment motions that were initially denied and then granted sua sponte during trial, and the third patent was found invalid by the jury on multiple grounds. The trial court outcome was then affirmed on appeal.References
