`
`Biography
`
`Fred Lorig has acted as a lead trial lawyer before juries for over 30 years. Fred is a trial lawyer not
`
`merely a litigator. Fred has been listed in Best Lawyers in America, named a Southern California Super
`
`Lawyer and his trial victories have been featured in numerous publications including the National Law
`
`Journal, American Lawyer, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. Fred has specialized in
`
`litigation involving complex technology since 1976 when he defended his first trade secret case
`
`involving computer networks where he obtained an injunction and his first Patent case where he
`
`obtained a finding of inequitable conduct and an award of attorneys fees. Fred joined Quinn Emanuel
`
`in January 2006 as Co-Chair of our National Trial Practice and was recently named Co Chair of
`
`Intellectual Property Litigation.
`
`Fred has represented clients in both intellectual property and antitrust matters and obtained
`
`plaintiffs verdicts in excess of $ 2
`
`billion before trebling ,
`
`including $1.2 billion for patent
`
`infringement in Litton v. Honeywell, which was later settled for $440 million. Fred has been lead trial
`
`counsel in efforts to license a number of patent portfolios and has obtained licensing revenues of in
`
`excess of $1 billion. One patent portfolio, where Fred acted as lead trial counsel, included actions
`
`against 11 defendants involving patents on the smart battery management used in all notebook
`
`computers and obtained license fees for his client of approximately $250 million. Eight of these
`
`disputes were resolved by judgments in his client's favor, three by cross license with payments by
`
`each cross licensee in confidential amounts of 8 figures each. At the same time, Fred has been lead
`
`counsel in a similar effort to license Stanford's pioneering patent on optical fiber amplifiers which is
`
`

`
`exclusively licensed to Northrop Grumman .
`
`In addition to judgments against Corning, Nortel and
`
`Alcatel, Fred obtained licenses for his client on advantageous terms in a total amount exceeding $200
`
`million. Fred has also acted as lead defense lawyer in numerous cases for Fortune 100 companies
`
`resulting in either dismissals or settlements on favorable terms including the payment of attorneys
`
`fees to his client. Fred originally acted a lead counsel in our firm’s efforts to defend Nokia in a
`
`worldwide patent war against Qualcomm, Fred has recently tried 3 patent cases to verdict and is
`
`currently acting as lead trial counsel for lntertrust v Apple where lntertrust is seeking a license
`
`payment for Apple's alleged used of |ntertrust’s Digital Rights Management portfolio in Apple’s
`
`iPhones, iPads, iPods, App Store and iTunes store. lntertrust is seeking a payment from Apple at least
`
`proportionate to the $440 million license fee paid by Microsoft.
`
`Representative Clients
`
`0 Fred's clients include lntertrust, City University of New York, Stanford University, Northrop
`
`Grumman, IBM, Thomson, General Electric and Teledyne.
`
`Notable Representations
`
`- Represented Unova as lead trial counsel in a large patent litigation against Hewlett Packard
`
`("HP"). After HP obtained summaryjudgment, we appealed to the Federal Circuit who
`
`unanimously reversed and instead ordered summaryjudgment in favor of Unova. Thereafter, the
`
`case was settled for $23 million only days prior to trial, when HP asked for a mediator and paid for
`
`a license under the patents. HP thereby joined the following companies who licensed the patents
`
`after suit was filed: Toshiba (License); Compaq (Judgment); Dell (Judgment); IBM (Judgment);
`
`NEC (Judgment); Matsushita/Panasonic (Judgment); Fujitsu (Judgment); Acer (Judgment);
`
`Gateway (Judgment) and Apple (Judgment). Pursuant to those licenses, Unova has obtained
`
`almost a quarter billion dollars to date.
`
`Represented Northrop as lead trial counsel against Hewlett Packard in a patent infringement
`
`case which settled for a confidential sum only days before trial.
`
`Represented Allred Pool Supply as lead trial counsel against Pool Water Products and obtained a
`
`judgment of monopolization, trebled damages, attorneys fees and an injunction.
`
`Represented Litton as co lead trial counsel against Honeywell in a successful monopolization
`
`case. This is believed to be the largest non-class action antitrust verdict in California, over $700
`
`million after trebling.
`
`Represented Celeritas Technologies as lead trial counsel against Rockwell International Corp.,
`
`obtaining a judgment of $64 million for willful infringement and breach of non-disclosure
`
`agreement involving later patented technology on the wireless transmission of data over cellular
`
`

`
`systems.
`
`Represented Litton as lead trial counsel against Honeywell and received a verdict of $1.2 billion
`
`for willful patent infringement and interference with contract and prospective business
`
`advantage. At the time, the largest patent infringement verdict in U.S. history. Ultimately settled
`
`for $440 million after two retrials ordered by the Federal Circuit following erroneous JMOL and
`
`summaryjudgment.
`
`Represented Litton Systems as lead trial counsel against Ssangyong Corp. in a case involving the
`
`theft of the fire control radar for a military aircraft. Established that Section 44 of the Lanham Act
`
`creates a Federal Cause of Action for Trade Secret Misappropriation against a foreign
`
`corporation. A confidential financial settlement in 8 figures was reached, along with the
`
`abandonment of efforts to illegally export military technology to the Far East.
`
`Represented a university professor as lead trial counsel in a patent infringement case involving
`
`recombinant DNA technology resulting in a jury verdict of $50 million plus a 6% royalty.
`
`Represented an individual inventor as lead trial counsel in a patent case involving computer
`
`firmware, obtaining a $44 million award following a verdict of willful infringement. Represented
`
`the same inventor as lead trial lawyer in a an earlier case which settled on confidential terms
`
`while the jury was deliberating.
`
`Represented Teledyne Industries, Inc., establishing that the disclosure of an opinion on patent
`
`validity or infringement submitted in defense of a charge of willful infringement waived the
`
`entire subject matter of the privilege including trial counsel. Defended Teledyne in numerous
`
`cases including one resulting in a payment of attorneys fees to Teledyne because of the patentee’s
`
`inequitable conduct.
`
`Represented Litton as lead trial counsel against Allied in a complex patent, trade secret and RICO
`
`case that settled on the first day of trial resulted in the defendant withdrawing its products from
`
`the market while paying Litton a very substantial but confidential sum in 8 figures.
`
`Represented Litton as lead trial counsel against Honeywell, successfully defending their failed
`
`attempt to use their patent portfolio to drive its only competitor from the market place. Obtained
`
`license under all Honeywell patents on product line for a token payment of a few hundred
`
`thousand dollars.
