Magēmā Technologies Prevails in Milestone Lawsuit Against Energy Goliath Phillips 66

09.08.25

Winstead PC today announced a major victory in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, winning a new trial for client Magēmā Technology LLC (“Magēmā”) on its valuable low-sulfur heavy marine fuel oil patent. At trial, Phillips repeatedly argued to the jury that “Magēmā could not prove infringement without access to certain of Phillips’ test results.” Magēmā objected as “Phillips had successfully argued during discovery that it would be too dangerous to obtain those test results.” After a jury verdict in favor of Phillips 66 and a denial of a motion for a new trial, Magēmā appealed. Today, the Federal Circuit issued a precedential opinion granting Magēmā a new trial.

Practices

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
