• Multiple patent infringement litigation wins for Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company Koninklijke KPN N.V., including:
  • A precedent-setting victory where the Federal Circuit reaffirmed the “long-established rule that suits against aliens are wholly outside the operation of all the federal venue laws, general and special.”  This landmark news was covered by Law360* and Delaware Business Court Insider.*
  • A significant Federal Circuit judgement when the the court reversed a district court’s invalidation of a patent under 35 U.S.C. § 101 and instead ruled unanimously in an important opinion stating that the patent satisfied § 101 as a matter of law. Law360 covered this news in Fed. Circ. Says Judge Wrongly Axed Data Patent As Abstract*.
• A widely-covered and groundbreaking False Claims Act litigation win which was the largest recovery to the Government ever in a False Claims Act lawsuit based solely on a kickback theory. The total gross recovery in the case was $465 million.

In 2019 and 2020, Mr. Healy was named to Benchmark Litigation’s 40 and Under Hot List (Benchmark Litigation). In their analysis of Mr. Healy, Benchmark said,

“Mr. Healy offers a practice focused on commercial and intellectual property litigation. Healy has substantial experience representing plaintiffs in patent infringement actions. In the last year, he has represented MIT as plaintiffs in a patent infringement case brought against Ford. Healy has also served as lead counsel to 3G Licensing in a dispute that resulted in the Federal Circuit determining on mandamus that the TC Heartland decision did not affect venue as applied to foreign entities.“
