Fish & Richardson and client Gilead Sciences Inc. are slated to receive nearly $14 million in legal fees after exposing patent misconduct by Merck & Co. Inc. that helped Gilead shake off a $200 million infringement verdict.
U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman in San Jose, California, on Friday awarded Gilead a little more than $12.5 million for Fish & Richardson’s work on the patent infringement case through June 30, 2016. The judge allotted an additional $1.37 million to Deloitte Review Services for document review and production it did.
