Roger Cook

Patent Litigation

Roger Cook has been achieving notable results for patent litigation plaintiffs and defendants for over 35 years, starting in 1983 with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. v. Nicolet Instrument Corporation, where he achieved a multimillion-dollar patent infringement judgment for the patent owner, including a record 33% reasonable royalty damages award, and was the first patent infringement jury decision reviewed by the new U.S. Court Of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which Congress created to handle all appeals of patent infringement judgments in the U.S., and who affirmed the jury award; and, as recently as 2015, when he received a California Lawyer Attorney of the Year Award “for his extraordinary achievement in 2014 in Intellectual-Property Law” based upon his success in Kilopass Technology, Inc. v. Sidense Corp., another groundbreaking Federal Circuit decision, which helped pave the way for prevailing patent infringement defendants to receive meaningful attorney fee awards, and for which his client received an award of $5.4 million.

Mr. Cook has also taught Intellectual-Property Antitrust Law as an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco Law School since 2005.
