Law firm King & Spalding LLP has received an award for its defense of Google in a landmark case of patent infringement within the technology center. The firm won the 2013 “United States Copyright/Patent Milestone Case of the Year” award from Managing Intellectual Property. The case for which the award was won centered around a battle between Google and Oracle America Inc.; Oracle had claimed Google infringed on patents and copyrights. The case resulted in a unanimous decision by the jury in favor of Google, subsequently tossing Oracle’s copyright claims concerning Java application programming interfaces. To add to the celebration, the firm has announced new additions to locations in New York and Dubai. Former assistant chief of the New York field office of the US Department of Justice Wendy Huang Waszmer will join the firm as a partner in New York; Stephen Kelly has been named as a new partner at the firm’s office in Dubai. King & Spalding is based in Washington, DC.
