Representative of our successful trial work in intellectual property cases is KB Home v. Antares Homes, Ltd, et al., 2008 WL 4692837 (N.D. Texas 2008). In an important copyright case, Cooper & Scully had the resources and experience necessary to succeed against a very large opponent represented by a very large international law firm.

KB Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the country, alleged that our client, Antares Homes, had copied six of its copyrighted designs and then marketed, constructed and sold homes that were substantially similar in design to the KB Home product. We obtained a summary judgment on two of those plans, dismissing them from the case, and the other four were the subject of a jury trial. Latham & Watkins, a large international law firm, represented KB Home. After a week long trial, the jury returned a complete defense verdict and judgment was entered on behalf of our client.
