Experience

Mr. Hyde’s notable experience includes successfully:

Representing a major cable and internet service provider in the International Trade Commission in a three-patent case relating to Interactive Program Guides and streaming services. After a week-long trial, the Administrative Law Judge found two of the patents not infringed and a third patent not infringed in view of a design-around, amounting to a full victory for our client.
Representing a major manufacturer of LED devices in a two-patent case relating to optical lenses. After a six-day trial, the jury found both patents valid, infringement was induced, and such infringement was willful. The jury awarded the full amount of damages sought.
Representing a cellular provider in the Eastern District of Texas. After favorable claim construction and pre-trial motions in limine, the matter was able to be resolved for a fraction of the damages plaintiff was seeking.
Representing a medical device manufacturer in the Eastern District of Michigan and winning a stay in view of pending petitions for Inter Partes Review.
Representing a database access software firm in the Eastern District of Texas invalidating plaintiff’s patent for lack of patentable subject matter.
Defending an arbitration dispute involving two major hydraulic fracturing entities.
Arguing before the Ninth Circuit to overturn an improper reasonable fear determination for a pro bono client. After oral arguments, the Ninth Circuit found in favor of our client, remanding the case back to the Immigration Judge for reconsideration.
