Overview

Biography

Cook focuses his practice on intellectual property litigation, with a particular emphasis on patent litigation. He regularly represents clients in district courts around the country as lead counsel, in inter partes review proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board, and in appellate matters, principally before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Cook has experience in all aspects of patent litigation from the filing of the complaint through a jury verdict. He has handled numerous Markman hearings, summary judgment hearings, and Daubert hearings in district courts throughout the country.

Cook has additional experience in complex commercial litigation, trade secret litigation, and trademark and copyright litigation involving a broad range of technologies, including aseptic processing, electronics, cloud computing technologies, artificial intelligence–based inventions, LEDs, footwear, sporting equipment, and medical devices including implantable devices, wound closure devices, and obesity treatment devices.

Experience

Representative Experience

  • Served as lead counsel for Steuben Foods, Inc. in litigation spanning 10 years that resulted in a jury verdict in Steuben’s favor in which the jury found all six asserted claims infringed and not invalid and awarded full damages requested—$38 million.
  • Served as lead counsel for Fulfillium, Inc. in litigation in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against a medical device company and its private equity backer. The case settled favorably for Fulfillium just days before trial, resulting in a seven-figure settlement that equated to a 60 percent royalty on sales of the infringing devices.
