Ingrid Petersen

Prior to joining Kirkland, Ingrid was involved in matters including:

• Represented a patent holder in jury and bench trials regarding cellular technology and FRAND obligations. The jury found that the defendant infringed the patents at issue, concluded that all patents were valid, and found that the defendant willfully infringed. The case was the first in-person patent jury trial in the nation since the pandemic began.
• Secured a favorable confidential settlement for a defendant in an infringement suit regarding technology related to security and performance of computer networks. Prior to the settlement, the defendant won a rare motion to transfer the litigation out of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
• Served as part of a team that persuaded a judge to dismiss with prejudice an antitrust and unfair competition suit involving licensing practices for patents covering cellular technology.
• Represented a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit regarding malware detection and successfully convinced a jury that the defendant did not infringe. During the trial, persuaded the court that the plaintiff had not presented sufficient evidence to support a damages claim. The Federal Circuit affirmed, and the district court ordered the plaintiff to pay millions in legal fees.
• Represented a patent holder in declaratory judgment action of patent infringement relating to chimeric antigen receptor technology, which resulted in a judgment exceeding $1 billion.
