Case Study: Global Mobile Device Manufacturer avoids patent damages with AlixPartners

Global Mobile Device Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

Global Mobile Device Manufacturer engaged AlixPartners after facing a patent-infringement lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages over alleged misuse of proprietary digital rights management technologies in its mobile devices. The legal threat put the company’s finances, reputation for innovation, and business model at risk, so it turned to AlixPartners for trial preparation and expert testimony support.

AlixPartners deployed expert damages analysts and witnesses to analyze and critique the plaintiff’s case, assess technology alternatives, and compare licensing agreements and bargaining positions on both sides. The team developed an alternative damages estimate and testified at trial, helping the court find the customer not liable for any damages. As a result, Global Mobile Device Manufacturer preserved its business model and avoided potentially significant financial and reputational harm.
