A Sterling Track Record Of Success

Our diverse and technical knowledge base allows us to pursue strategic and innovative outcomes tailored to the needs of the organization rather than broad-based solutions, and we take great pride in knowing how to win these intricate cases. Coats & Bennett, PLLC has successfully litigated a technology transfer dispute in Tokyo, Japan, and for another client, managed an intellectual property lawsuit in Australia while coordinating and leading parallel litigation in the United States. We recently obtained outstanding results for a number of clients in copyright litigation in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of California, Northern District of Alabama and in the Southern District of New York.

We also represented a small eastern North Carolina textile company, Domestic Fabrics Corporation, against Sears Roebuck & Co. in a patent infringement dispute. After prevailing on the patent infringement issue, we persuaded the court that Sears’ infringement was willful, that the damages should be trebled and that our client was entitled to attorney fees. In the end, the court’s judgment exceeded $3 million. In addition to litigating patent and copyright issues, our attorneys also obtain outstanding results for our clients in trademark and trade dress cases.
