Career
John “Jay” Jurata is a leading first-chair antitrust trial lawyer with more than two decades of experience representing clients in complex litigation, government investigations relating to monopolization and abuse of dominance, and mergers and acquisitions. A former surface warfare officer in the U.S. Navy, Mr. Jurata is uniquely skilled at handling clients’ most high-stakes matters. His practice encompasses both U.S. and international competition law, with a focus on digital platforms and issues at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property. Mr. Jurata has represented many key players in the technology industry, including Microsoft Corporation, Sonos, Sharp Corporation, LG Corp and Panasonic Holdings Corporation.
Some of Mr. Jurata’s key matters include leading the defense team for Zillow Group Inc. in an ongoing lawsuit filed by REX relating to the display of broker listing information, as well as representing Microsoft, Sonos and others in their roles as interested parties in the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Google. In addition, he represents Microsoft on a variety of merger control, antitrust investigation and private litigation matters.
Mr. Jurata also has a long history of representing both licensors and licensees in disputes concerning standards-essential patents. Such successes include: acting for Sharp in a standards-essential patent licensing arbitration against InterDigital Corporation that sought US$390 million in damages; obtaining the dismissal of a lawsuit alleging that iBiquity charged excessive royalties for its standards-essential patent portfolio; and winning a breach of contract lawsuit against an iBiquity patent licensee regarding that same portfolio.
