Lane Powell represented Adelos in two inter partes review proceedings filed by Halliburton at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patents, which were developed by the US Navy and exclusively licensed to Adelos, described and claimed distributed acoustic and/or thermal sensing using fiber optic cables. Working with the US Department of Justice, Lane Powell was successful in having the PTAB dismiss Halliburton’s request at a very early stage of the proceedings, thereby saving Adelos significant time and money.
