Who wouldn’t have pitied little Anascape Ltd. of Tyler, Texas, when it went up against Nintendo of America Inc. nearly two years ago, seeking to protect its patents for technology used in Nintendo game controllers including the GameCube, Wavebird, Wii Classic and Wii Remote. Anascape’s attorneys at Dallas-based McKool Smith, PC, were unfazed by the prospect of battling an army of corporate attorneys with unlimited resources. Following a trial in the Eastern District of Texas that ended May 14, a jury awarded the small company $21 million for its patent infringement claims. And just last week, the Hon. Ron Clark of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division, denied the defendant's motion for a reduced verdict, finding that the jury's award is supported by the evidence. The McKool Smith team included firm principals  Doug Cawley, Sam Baxter and Ted Stevenson, and firm associates Chris Bovenkamp, Steven Callahan, Jason Cassady, Anthony Garza, and Jamie Shouse.
