For example, Kevin served as lead trial counsel for Netgear in its offensive litigation against competitor TP-Link, and after a resounding victory at trial where TP-Link was found to infringe multiple Netgear patents and the ALJ recommended excluding TP-Link from the US market, the case settled favorably for Netgear. The Recorder featured the victory: Latham Secures $135 Million Settlement for Client Netgear in Wi-Fi Patent Dispute.

Kevin's client was hit with patent and trade secret claims by rival Celgard in the Northern District of California. US District Judge Jon Tigar sided with Senior Technology, denying Celgard’s bids for a TRO and preliminary injunction and granting a motion to dismiss the case against the company’s Chinese parent.” The case settled favorably after the victory, which The Recorder also featured: Latham Supplies Legal Juice to Battery Suppliers.
