About Attorney Awards

IP Litigation

For over a quarter century, Irell & Manella LLP’s intellectual property litigation practice has stood at the intersection of Irell & Manella’s litigation and high-technology/intellectual property practices, creating one of the country’s foremost practices of its kind. In a landmark case against Microsoft, Irell & Manella obtained a $120 million jury verdict for infringement of Stac’s data compression patents.  In another matter, Irell & Manella represented a patent owner in litigation that resulted in a settlement requiring the defendant to pay more than $1 billion.  Irell & Manella also successfully defended the alleged infringer in the first trial ever involving a computer software patent. Chambers and Partners, publishers of the Global Directory of the World’s Leading Lawyers, selected Irell & Manella as the U.S. Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year for 2005 and 2006.  Irell & Manella's intellectual property litigators are nationally known as leaders in the field, and are frequently sought not just by technology clients, but by leading national and international conferences of intellectual property specialists.
