Andres Healy is a sought-after trial lawyer who specializes in IP and complex commercial disputes and represents clients ranging from multi-billion-dollar industry leaders to individual inventors.
Healy’s results speak for themself. Notable wins include:

- Securing a unanimous 10-figure patent infringement verdict against HTC Corp. on behalf of French telecom Orange S.A. and Sisvel subsidiary 3G Licensing S.A.
- Persuading the Federal Circuit to reverse the invalidation of one of Dutch telecom Koninklijke KPN’s patents and hold that it was valid under 35 U.S.C. § 101, which resulted in a number of favorable settlements.
- Convincing the Federal Circuit to reject a challenge by HTC to the “long-established rule that suits against aliens are wholly outside the operation of all the federal venue laws, general and special.”
- Obtaining denials on motions for summary judgment filed by LG Electronics against his client Ancora Technologies that resulted in the case settling shortly thereafter.
- Nabbing a win for Dutch telecom Koninklijke KPN when he persuaded the District of Delaware to grant summary judgment on FRAND and other counterclaims brought against KPN and other of his clients by smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, Lenovo/Motorola, and BlackBerry.
- Securing summary judgement from the District of Delaware that Dutch telecom Koninklijke KPN did not breach an obligation to license its intellectual property on FRAND terms. The case settled shortly thereafter.
