Legal Firepower on Both Sides
VidStream is represented by a heavyweight team from Caldwell Cassady & Curry, including:
Bradley W. Caldwell, Jason D. Cassady, John Austin Curry, Warren J. McCarty III, Brian D. Johnston, Daniel R. Pearson, Robert Seth Reich Jr., John F. Summers, and Adrienne R. Dellinger.
X is represented by a combined force from WilmerHale and Haynes Boone, including:
Matthew T. Martens, Sonal N. Mehta, Thomas G. Sprankling, Taylor Gooch, Reshma C. Gogineni, David L. McCombs, and Charles M. Jones II.
What’s at Stake?
If the jury sides with VidStream, it could set a precedent for how older, obscure patents can be weaponized in the tech world — a warning shot to startups and social platforms alike. But if X prevails, it could reinforce the view that big tech isn’t always the villain in IP battles, especially when companies invest millions to innovate in-house.
For now, the jury is in — and the verdict could ripple far beyond Dallas.
