Robert N. Kang

Some of the below experience may have been at a prior firm.

• Represented Alphatec Spine in a two-week jury trial in the Central District of California, and obtained favorable post trial settlement.
• Represented Cisco in two ITC actions against Arista Networks. Rob led the technical team on a key Cisco networking patent, securing a finding of no invalidity and infringement by both Arista’s existing and redesigned products in two separate evidentiary hearings, shortly before a US$400 million settlement for Cisco.
• Obtained complete defense victory at a jury trial in the Northern District of California for Energy Labs Inc. against Nortek Air Solutions. The jury found no infringement of any claim in six asserted patents and found most of the asserted claims to be invalid.
• Obtained favorable settlement on behalf of Google against allegations of patent infringement by Rockstar Consortium. Rockstar settled with Google, abandoned its attempts to license its patents, sold them, and disbanded shortly after the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit forced Rockstar to proceed in the Northern District of California, rather than the Eastern District of Texas.
• Obtained favorable settlement on behalf of RF Micro Devices in a patent infringement action involving semiconductors used in RF switches brought by Peregrine Semiconductor in the Southern District of California. After defeating Peregrine’s preliminary injunction motion, winning a motion to dismiss half of the asserted patents, and challenging the remaining patents at the PTAB, Peregrine settled on terms favorable to RF Micro Devices.
• Represented LivePerson against allegations of infringement by [24]7.ai in the Northern District of California. Obtained dismissal on grounds of invalidity or unpatentable subject matter of eleven patents asserted by [24]7.
