On January 29, 2013, Parallel Networks (a company that has filed a lot of patent infringement lawsuits) filed its Petition and Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award (available here) in Dallas County. In essence, Parallel Networks claims that an arbitrator exceeded his powers in awarding Jenner & Block (Parallel Network’s prior counsel in patent infringement litigation) damages.
The petition raises interesting issues concerning patent infringement contingency fee agreements, and is worth a read. Exhibit A to the petition is the contingency fee agreement at issue.
Parallel Networks is represented by Jamil Alibhai, Ryan Loveless, Jane Neiswender, and Kelly Chen, all of Munck Wilson Mandala, LLP.
