Representative Matters:

• Lidar Technology Verdict: Won a $120 million jury verdict for a robotics startup against a global automotive supplier for infringing patents related to solid-state Lidar sensors used in autonomous trucks.

• Industrial Automation Defense: Defended a factory-automation company against a preliminary injunction that threatened to halt their entire North American assembly line. David’s team discovered an obscure 102(b) "on-sale bar" that led to the plaintiff’s patent being invalidated.
