PAUL K. VICKREY

Paul Vickrey graduated from the University of Illinois in 1977. He received his law degree from Loyola University of Chicago in 1980, where he was a member of the Law Journal. Prior to joining the firm in 1996, Paul was a partner in a large Chicago firm for 10 years.

He has won a multitude of jury trials in federal and state courts, the most notable of which was a fraud trial that resulted in a $100 million verdict against W.R. Grace. In 2005, Paul won coast-to-coast jury verdicts of patent infringement (one of them willful) in just 21 days.  Paul was lead trial counsel in a trade secret misappropriation case in Seattle against Key Tronic Corporation where he won a $19.2 million judgement for two inventors from Argentina who invented a computer mouse for concurrent pointing and scrolling. With Ray Niro, Paul tried: Sufrin v. Hosier, a jury trial in which we defeated a $70 million claim brought against noted patent lawyer Gerald Hosier and C&F Packing v. IBP, a jury trial in which we won an $11 million judgment against IBP for misappropriation of trade secrets.

Paul is on the editorial board of the Business Torts Reporter and also has served as a faculty member at numerous patent law seminars around the country. He served on the Seventh Circuit Pattern Jury Instruction Subcommittee for the drafting of pattern jury instructions for patent cases.  He also served on the committee which worked with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in drafting the Local Patent Rules.
