Large publicly traded companies and cutting-edge startups trust Gish PLLC to handle their most intricate IP matters. Our attorneys achieve disproportionately successful results for our clients before federal and state courts, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the Federal Circuit, and the International Trade Commission.
Gish PLLC has acted as counsel for Advantest Corporation, a leading semiconductor test equipment supplier, in an arbitration against AEM Holdings Ltd., Lattice Innovation, Inc. and Samer Kabbani (collectively, "AEM"). The results of that arbitration proceeding are now publicly available. AEM must pay $20 million to Advantest and immediately terminate any exclusivity provisions that previously blocked Advantest from working directly with a sub-supplier. Furthermore, Advantest did not license any of its IP to AEM as part of the arbitration resolution, and remains free to assert any claims for IP infringement against AEM in the future.
Gish PLLC is proud to announce that Ryan Iwahashi has joined the firm as a Partner. Mr. Iwahashi – a former Federal Circuit clerk with an MS in Computer Science – made the move to Gish PLLC after nearly a decade in the IP Litigation Group of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, where he represented some of the world's leading tech companies. With a particular focus on high-tech intellectual property disputes, Mr. Iwahashi has extensive experience handling patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, intellectual property licensing, and standard-essential patent matters.
