Proven Results
“Mark is a master at focusing a case for trial.” – Co-lead counsel
Whether through trial verdicts or arbitration awards, via pre-trial motion wins, or through favorable settlements, Mark regularly secures results for his clients.
Mark served as co-lead trial counsel for defendant Globus Medical, Inc., a medical device manufacturer, in an $86 million patent infringement dispute in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Early in the case, Mark helped win a rare transfer of the case out of the Western District of Texas to Globus’s home district. At trial, Mark delivered the opening statement for Globus, presented Globus’s first witness, and won a complete victory for the defendant. The jury found that not a single one of ten accused Globus products infringed a single one of plaintiff’s three asserted patents. The plaintiff, a business owned by a Maryland doctor and his family, was represented by the #1 patent litigation firm in the United States.
Mark also served as co-lead trial counsel for Globus as plaintiff in a patent infringement lawsuit in the District of Delaware. The case concerned competitor Life Spine’s infringement of patents covering Globus’s innovative expandable spinal fusion implant technologies. Mark delivered the opening statement for Globus.
