Cooley advised Absolute Software, a data risk management solutions and endpoint security provider, on its acquisition by Crosspoint Capital for approximately $870 million, inclusive of debt.

In August 2020, Cooley convinced a panel of judges at the PTAB to protect a key patent for CoolIT, a leader in data center cooling. A three-judge panel upheld the validity of all challenged claims while adopting arguments Cooley advanced against Petitioner’s expert and his proposed prior art combination.

In May 2015, Cooley convinced a panel of judges at the PTAB to cancel claims of an online messaging patent asserted against Facebook by plaintiff EveryMD. A three-judge panel ruled that the challenged claims of the patent are invalid and also threw out EveryMD's proposed new claims finding that the plaintiff failed to prove the validity of those claims in light of prior art. In March 2016, the Federal Circuit upheld the PTAB's decision in its entirety.

Cooley advised Mist Systems, a pioneer in cloud-managed wireless networks powered by artificial intelligence, on its $405 million sale to Juniper Networks.
