Overview
John Caracappa是一位值得信赖的首席诉讼律师,曾在美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)和各地区法院提起的高额专利纠纷中代理过知名客户。他是337条款调查和地区法院诉讼策略的公认思想领袖,曾代理过联邦法院的75件337条款ITC案件和专利案件。John通过诉讼来给予客户(原告或被告)娴熟的指导,努力取得可满足其具体业务需求的有利结果。John还担任核准后复审程序的首席律师,包括多方复审(IPR),并且是根据《美国发明法》向美国专利和商标局(USPTO)提交IPR申请的首批律师之一。《知识资产管理(IAM)》在其“IAM全球专利1000强”中的ITC和全国地区法院诉讼类别中多次提及John,称其为“真正的专利法专家”。
作为Steptoe知识产权集团的联合主席,John亲自处理客户案件,从事实披露和证人准备到Markman演示和审判。他对337条款诉讼所涉细微差别的敏锐体验和技术理解使他能够构建成功的ITC论据,且这些论据常在上诉时得到肯定。他的工作涉及所有技术领域,包括无线通信设备、闪存设备、在线消息应用软件、平板显示器、导航系统、网上银行、硬盘驱动器、类钻石涂层和软件。 John已率领团队在众多版权侵权案件胜诉,比如BMG Rights Management诉Cox Enterprises;在该案中,BMG获得了总计2,500万美元的损害赔偿金;还有一些地区法院的案件,如Schrader-Bridgeport International诉Continental Automotive Systems一案获得了简易判决,并在无损权利的前提下被驳回。
