Selected Results

Counsel in Arctic Cat Inc. v. Injection Research Specialists, Inc. and Pacer Industries Inc., No. 01-543 (D. Minn., filed March 2001).  Mr. Myers was part of a team representing Arctic Cat in patent litigation involving multiple parties and events spanning more than a decade.  Arctic Cat was accused of infringing patents for electronic fuel injection technology and presented with a $100 million demand.  In 2005, Arctic Cat received summary judgment rulings in its favor on six separate legal grounds.  Those rulings established the invalidity and unenforceability of the critical patent, and established Arctic Cat’s non-infringement as to certain accused products.  Following the rulings in Arctic Cat’s favor, the parties settled all claims with no payment from Arctic Cat, covenants not to sue issued to Arctic Cat and its customers and vendors, and indemnification by the adverse parties’ parent companies.
