Partner

Chicago, Illinois, Us

Cory led a Kirkland trial team to secure an arbitration award for a client accused of trade secret misappropriation, trademark infringement, breach of contract, and related unfair competition claims. The litigation team took and defended 21 depositions during the two months that the expedited schedule provided for discovery. During the six-day arbitration, the parties called twenty-three witnesses to testify. After the trial, the arbitrator found that the client did not misappropriate any of the alleged trade secrets or breach any contracts and issued an order granting all of the client's requests for declaratory judgment.Cory also obtained a trial victory in state court for a client accused of trade secret misappropriation, breach of a confidentiality agreement, and other state law claims, including conspiracy and tortious interference. After a two-and-a-half week trial, the jury returned a verdict in the client's favor on all counts, finding that the disputed items failed to qualify as trade secrets or confidential information, or were not acquired by the client. Shortly thereafter, the client also obtained a favorable settlement in related litigation against the same plaintiff involving patent infringement allegations.In addition to trade secret litigation, Cory developed extensive experience with complex, international patent litigation involving multiple parties and jurisdictions, including Asia. In 2007/2008, he was selected to participate in a two-year leadership program managed by the US - Japan Foundation. He remains an active Fellow of the program.
