The Cooper Law Group

The Cooper Law Group, as indicated by its engagement in notable patent enforcement actions, has been involved in specialized intellectual property litigation. Publicly available information regarding a singular "The Cooper Law Group" primarily dedicated to patent litigation, including specific headquarters, an extensive office footprint, or rankings in publications like AmLaw or Chambers, is limited. General web searches for firms named "Cooper Law Group" often point to entities focusing on personal injury, medical malpractice, or general civil and transactional law in various locations, such as Bridgeport, CT, or New York, NY, or IP procurement firms in Ohio.

The firm's patent litigation expertise is most prominently demonstrated through its representation of DataTreasury Corporation in significant patent infringement lawsuits. These cases centered on financial technology, specifically patents related to systems and methods for remotely capturing and centrally processing document images and data, such as electronic check processing and imaging technology.

The Cooper Law Group has exclusively appeared on the plaintiff side in its tracked patent cases, serving DataTreasury Corporation, a known patent assertion entity. This indicates a strong preference for representing patent holders in enforcing their intellectual property rights. The firm's role included acting as Counsel and Lead Counsel in these enforcement efforts.

Notable engagements include The Cooper Law Group's representation of DataTreasury Corporation in cases such as DataTreasury Corporation v. U.S. Bank et al. and DataTreasury Corporation v. Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. These cases were part of a broader campaign by DataTreasury to enforce its patents against the banking industry, which reportedly resulted in over $350 million in recoveries through settlements and judgments. A significant outcome in the larger DataTreasury litigation, where the firm was involved, was a $27 million jury award against U.S. Bancorp and other entities for willful infringement of check imaging patents in 2010. However, some of DataTreasury's patents were later challenged and deemed invalid by the Federal Circuit under Alice Corp. in 2016.

Regarding post-grant proceedings, a notable IPR/PGR practice for The Cooper Law Group is not reliably sourced in public records. While DataTreasury's patents did undergo re-examination and PTAB challenges, specific information on this firm's involvement in those proceedings is not readily available. The key attorneys identified in the firm's patent litigation efforts, according to the case data, are Rodney A. Cooper and Rod A. Cooper. Public profiles for these individuals do not consistently highlight patent litigation as their primary practice area, with some sources listing personal injury or general civil litigation.
