McAndrews, Held & Malloy's team of mechanical
and industrial engineering specialists counsels
businesses across the spectrum of mechanical,
industrial and electromechanical fields, managing
their intellectual property assets in a manner
that both minimizes risk and maximizes opportunity.
Our approach enables clients to better capitalize
on business opportunities, as well as identify
new avenues for revenue growth.
Our firm's services and experience range from securing multi-million dollar patent infringement settlements and awards to successfully defending clients against charges of patent infringement. Some recent examples of our success include:
|
|
|
 |
Securing a dismissal with prejudice of all claims of willful infringement for one of the world's largest lighting fixture manufacturers. MH&M also secured a favorable summary judgment ruling for the same client in another case, which included an $8 million damages award and a court order barring the opposing party from selling the infringing product. |
|
|
|
Obtaining a summary judgment of non-infringement and dismissal of the case in its entirety for the original manufacturer of table-mounted surgical retractors. MH&M secured this outcome before discovery even commenced. |
|
|
Obtaining
a motion for summary judgment of infringement
relating to methods of manufacturing sideframes
and bolsters for railcars on behalf of one of
the leading manufacturers of industrial components
for the railroad, vehicular, construction and
building markets. The opposing party was denied
two motions for summary judgment of invalidity
and subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection.
In addition, the court's findings helped to secure
a favorable settlement in the client's lawsuit
against a third-party manufacturer.
