White Plains-based Mc Carter & English LLP and Raleigh-based Womble Bond Dickinson PLLC were the lawyers for Hayward. Hayward won reasonable attorneys’ fees as a result of the extraordinary nature of this litigation. At this point, Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP and Platinum Intellectual Property LLLP, representing Blueworks, have yet to respond to requests for comment.
