In a highly-publicized case, Kerr & Wagstaffe attorneys persuaded a federal magistrate judge to reverse her prior sanctions of the trial lawyers representing Qualcomm Inc. in its patent dispute with Broadcom Corp. The Court had previously sanctioned several of the attorneys in connection with alleged discovery misconduct. Following that ruling, and after extensive discovery and a three-day evidentiary hearing, Judge Barbara Major changed course and declined to impose any sanctions on the firm’s client and the other lawyers who had represented Qualcomm. Judge Major’s order expressly recognized the numerous reasonable steps the firm’s client took to ascertain the truth during the underlying case.
