Successfully Represented Inventors of Night-Vision Goggles
Served as lead counsel in the successful representation of the inventors of night-vision goggles, which the U.S. Air Force hailed as a revolutionary piece of military equipment. The goggles provided pilots with more than double the field of vision of the old systems, while also enhancing safety. According to the complaint, the Air Force was on the verge of awarding the inventors a contract to produce thousands of goggles when a subcontractor misappropriated the technology and ultimately wrested the contract away from the inventors. A very favorable settlement was reached the night before a jury trial was to begin in federal court in Virginia.
