He also obtained a multi-million dollar judgment against Rockwell in a patent infringement suit and successfully represented an individual inventor in a patent infringement suit against Apple Computer, which settled for several million dollars. He was also lead trial counsel in Core-Vent Corp. v. Implant Innovations Inc. (53 F. 2d 1252 (Fed. Cir. 1995)), a leading Federal Circuit case.

Beyond district court litigation, Mr. Bright possesses extensive experience with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (PTO), having been licensed to practice before the PTO for over 40 years.
