The April 28, 2022 Ohio appellate court opinion in RevoLaze LLC v. Dentons US LLP, 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 109742, 2022-Ohio-1392, which affirmed a $32 million jury verdict for legal malpractice against the law firm of Dentons US LLP, is worth noting because, counterintuitive as it seems, the case shows how difficult it can be to win substantial damages in a legal malpractice case involving patent law. The opinion, when considered in detail, reveals that the verdict was reached due to a unique confluence of facts, along with thorough work by Plaintiff’s counsel and experts to create the necessary evidentiary record.
