Congratulations are once again in order for the Law Firm of Kramer Levin after a $40 million verdict was announced on August 4, 2015 in the Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Systems, Inc. matter. The verdict followed a three-week trial before the Honorable Beth Labson Freeman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The jury found that five of Finjan Holdings, Inc.'s six patents were literally infringed by Blue Coat with the sixth being infringed by the Doctrine of Equivalents. The jury ultimately decided Finjan was entitled to $39,528,487.00 in damages as a reasonable royalty for Blue Coat's infringement.
I worked closely with Kramer Levin's legal team of Paul Andre, Lisa Kobialka, James Hannah, and others, to provide a seamless display of exhibits, demonstratives, and videotaped depositions. With each side limited to only 18 hours to present their cases, a quick, efficient presentation of the case was paramount. Accordingly, I had to bring in extra trial presentation items to ensure an optimal setup. I also assisted with the creation and modification of PowerPoint presentations throughout trial. I was asked to combine trial exhibits and tutorial animations for direct and cross examinations of expert and fact witnesses. Congratulations to Kramer Levin and its client, Finjan!
