Editorial coverage

United States

Headquartered in Texas, Fulbright & Jaworski is an international law firm with a good IP group. The firm excels in patent matters, particularly in the life sciences, telecommunications and electronic fields. The firm has had success in the Eastern District of Texas representing Menusoft Systems and CRS Texas against Ameranth's claims of patent infringement. The case involves an information and management system for a point-of-sale restaurant application using a wireless handheld unit or the internet to place point-of-sale orders. After a five-day trial, the jury returned a defence verdict of non-infringement, finding the patents invalid. In the US District Court in Marshall, Texas, Fulbright & Jaworski has filed a motion for inequitable conduct against the plaintiff, which also has filed motions seeking a new trial.
