The Kramer Levin team that secured Centripetal Networks Inc. a $151.5 million verdict in a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia was given “Runners-up Honors” in Litigation Daily’s Litigator of the Week column on Feb. 2, 2024.
The jury found that Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls infringed all four of the Centripetal patents at issue. Centripetal first filed suit against Palo Alto over the patents in 2021.
The Kramer Levin team representing Centripetal was comprised of Intellectual Property partners Paul J. Andre, Lisa Kobialka, James Hannah and Hannah Lee; special counsel Cristina M. Finn; associates Christina L. Martinez, Aakash Jariwala, Linda Xu, Violaine Brunet, Dana Anderson and Zehra Jafri.
