In re Innovatio
United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois
- Represented several major Wi-Fi device manufacturers and their corporate customers as defendants in a 21-patent case that was one of the country’s first to rule on the issues of a FRAND rate and essentiality of a patent to a technological standard. The judge ruled that all 441 claims were subject to a FRAND obligation and set a FRAND rate. This case has been featured in numerous articles including in the The National Law Journal, which reported: “When thousands of fast food restaurant outlets, coffee shops and hotels were hit with letters demanding $2,300 apiece for Wi-Fi licensing, Kirkland & Ellis came to the rescue. . . . The result was a groundbreaking decision by U.S. District Judge James Holderman defining what it means for a patent to qualify as a standard essential and how to determine its price — not to mention a bargain-basement settlement for Cisco.”
