Certain Vaporizer Devices, Cartridges Used Therewith, and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-1368 (U.S.I.T.C. 2023–2025). Mr. Williams served as trial counsel for Complainant Juul Labs, Inc. (JLI) in a Section 337 investigation against Altria Group, Inc., its affiliates, and NJOY, LLC, asserting four JLI patents covering vaporizer device and cartridge technology. After an evidentiary hearing before the Administrative Law Judge, the ALJ issued an initial determination finding a violation as to all four asserted patents. On January 30, 2025, the Commission affirmed the violation finding and issued a limited exclusion order against the importation of infringing vaporizer devices, cartridges, and components.
PureWick Corporation v. Sage Products, LLC, No. 1:19-cv-01508 (D. Del.). Mr. Williams served as trial counsel for PureWick Corporation, a Becton, Dickinson and Company subsidiary, in a patent infringement action against Sage Products, LLC, a Stryker Corporation subsidiary, involving female external urinary catheter technology. Following a five-day jury trial before Judge Maryellen Noreika, the jury found that Sage Products willfully infringed all three asserted patents and rejected Sage's non-infringement and invalidity defenses, awarding PureWick more than $28 million in lost profits and reasonable royalty damages. The district court subsequently denied Sage's post-trial motions and granted PureWick an ongoing royalty on continued sales of the infringing products.
Certain Cameras, Camera Systems, and Accessories Used Therewith, Inv. No. 337-TA-1400 (U.S.I.T.C. 2024–2026). Mr. Williams served as trial counsel for Complainant GoPro, Inc. in a Section 337 investigation against Arashi Vision Inc. and its U.S. affiliate (d/b/a Insta360), asserting patents covering action camera technology. The Administrative Law Judge and the Commission found infringement as to one of the asserted patents, and the Commission issued a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order against the importation and sale of infringing products.
Sonos, Inc. v. Google LLC, No. 3:20-cv-06754 (N.D. Cal.). Mr. Williams represented Google LLC as part of the trial team in patent litigation brought by Sonos involving wireless multi-room audio "zone scenes" technology. Following a jury trial before Judge William H. Alsup, the district court granted judgment as a matter of law for Google, holding the asserted patents unenforceable for prosecution laches and invalid for lack of written description.
