Landmark $847 Million Patent Infringement Verdict Against Verizon

Posted Jul 10, 2024

Giovanni Sanchez

Congratulations to Giovanni Sanchez, a key member of the trial team that recently secured an $847 million verdict in a patent infringement case against Verizon. As reported by Law360, this verdict is one of the largest in patent law history, marking a significant milestone in the field of intellectual property litigation.

An Eastern District of Texas federal jury found that Verizon should pay $847 million for infringing two General Access Solutions patents, providing the patent owner with the full relief it requested. The jury awarded a reasonable royalty of $583 million for the infringement of one patent and $264 million for the other. The verdict is noteworthy for its size and impact on the telecommunications industry, especially 5G networks and other broadband communication systems.

Giovanni’s trial expertise and dedication were instrumental in achieving this monumental victory. Congratulations, Giovanni, on this outstanding accomplishment!

Giovanni Sanchez is an associate at Bartlit Beck’s Denver office, where he represents clients in high-stakes commercial litigation across a broad spectrum of industries and subject matters. His practice focuses on navigating complex legal problems and trying difficult cases, demonstrating a profound commitment to justice and legal excellence. Giovanni’s contributions to this case highlight his exceptional skills and dedication to his clients.

Before joining Bartlit Beck, Giovanni served as Counsel to U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland at the U.S. Department of Justice. He is a distinguished graduate of Cornell University and Yale Law School and has clerked for the Honorable Judge Randolph D. Moss and the Honorable Merrick B. Garland. Giovanni was also trial counsel in a notable $25 million verdict against neo-Nazis that organized violence at a 2017 Charlottesville riot and has served as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, prosecuting criminal cases in the District of Columbia.
