A Cooley team secured a finding of no interference-in-fact for client RSB Spine following a bench trial before Judge Richard G. Andrews of the US District Court for the District of Delaware against DePuy Synthes. The trial related to DePuy Synthes’ November 2019 counterclaim for a declaration of interference between RSB’s US Pat. No. 9,713,537 and DePuy’s US Pat. No. 7,846,207.

Cooley successfully secured a dismissal for Mango Technologies, the market leader in the $80 billion market for productivity software, in a trade secret litigation brought by Nifty Technologies.

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.
