Dallas Business Journal:

The U.S. Supreme Court today affirmed a $290 million judgment won by Dallas-based law firm McKool Smith on behalf of i4i Limited Partnership and i4i Inc. in a patent infringement judgment against software giant Microsoft Corp.

McKool Smith principal Doug Cawley, who worked as lead trial counsel for i4i, said the ruling is a victory for patent holders everywhere.

"Today's ruling, which enforces the Federal Circuit’s historical reliance on 'clear and convincing evidence,' will have a sweeping impact on how patents are protected," Cawley said.
