Mr. Moore and the Kilpatrick team obtained a jury verdict for GREE in the Eastern District of Texas of willful infringement, asserting five patents and an award of at least $8.5 million for damages against Supercell in September 2020, and a second jury verdict of willful infringement in favor of GREE and an award of $92 million in damages in May 2021.

Mr. Moore defended Motorola against Fujifilm’s assertion of five patents relating to digital cameras and the transmission of files through a cell phone.

Through ex parte reexamination proceedings, we invalidated the fifth patent. The district court denied Fujifilm’s attempt to undo the jury’s verdict, and the case settled on appeal.
