Troutman Pepper Notches Federal Circuit Win for Andrea Electronics Corporation
NEW YORK – Troutman Pepper has helped to secure a significant Federal Circuit win for Andrea Electronics Corporation (OTCMKTS: ANDR), an industry leader in digital array microphones and noise reduction software. In an April 22 decision, a three-judge panel ruled in favor of Andrea Electronics’ appeal from an October 2020 PTAB decision against tech giant Apple, Inc. related to its patent for noise cancellation and reduction.
“We are pleased by the judges’ finding and what the outcome means for our client,” said Partner William Belanger, chair of Troutman Pepper’s Specialized Litigation Department. “We have represented Andrea Electronics for nearly a decade and continue to be inspired by their innovations and impressive technological and engineering capabilities. This win protects their hard work.”
Troutman Pepper’s William Belanger, Frank Liu, Gwendolyn Tawresey, and Andrew Zappia represented Andrea Electronics in the matter, which was notable not only because of the company they were up against but because of their particularly strong brief.
Troutman Pepper’s patent litigators are deeply committed to thoroughly understanding clients, their business goals, and the challenges particular to their industries. This client-centric approach allows the team to best leverage members’ advanced scientific degrees, technical training, and professional experience to achieve consistent success at the trial and appellate level.
