Special Master Recommends $5.9M Fees Award in Legal “Battle of Verdun”

May 20, 2021

Per that Special Master, Matthew Borden, Juniper is entitled to reimbursement of those fees, over certain Finjan objections because “[l]ike the Battle of Verdun, high-stakes patent litigation can become a costly fight over inches and yards. When engaging in such combat, each side can expect that its adversary will respond in kind”.
