Morrow Ni Wins Dismissal of Contract Claim and Patent Infringement Claim for Client

We're thrilled to announce a significant win for one of our valued clients! In a recent federal case, Morrow Ni successfully secured the dismissal of two major claims against our client, an innovative solar inverter manufacturer based in Northern California.

The plaintiff brought suit alleging both breach of contract and patent infringement. Morrow Ni moved to dismiss the breach of contract claim and the direct infringement claim. After the briefing, the District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed the breach of contract claim on both procedural and merits grounds with prejudice, meaning it cannot be re-filed. This provides our client with complete protection from future litigation on this issue. In addition, the Court dismissed the direct infringement claim with leave to amend but cautioned that “it appears unlikely that [plaintiff] will be able to allege direct infringement.”

The Morrow Ni team included partner Xinlin Li Morrow and associate Zhener Low. At Morrow Ni, we are dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional legal representation.
