A notable case in his patent litigation practice is Cyberfone Systems, LLC v. United Air Lines, Inc., where he represented the defendant. While specific outcomes for his direct involvement in this case are not detailed in public searches, the case itself highlights his role in defending corporate clients against patent infringement claims brought by NPEs.
