Jeff’s cross-examination led to a decision by the Chief Judge favorable to his client.

Defended a manufacturer of scratch-resistant polymer coatings for eyeglass lenses in a patent infringement suit. Nick Kuhlmann delivered a 4-hour oral argument at a dispositive motion hearing, which led to negotiation of a favorable settlement.
