The article stated: ​“Forbes could not reach eBay for comment, but lawyers for Kelley Drye & Warren -- the law firm bringing the suit on XPRT’s behalf -- say the suit not only involves patent infringement but also the violation of trade secrets. ... “According to the complaint, XPRT sent eBay a confidential patent application in 2001 that the auction giant later incorporated into its own patent application. ​‘I think the easiest evidence is that the patent office itself has rejected many of the claims based on XPRT’s own patents and patent applications,’ says Steve Moore, a lawyer representing XPRT.” The article noted that the $3.8 billion damages claim is based on a six percent ​“reasonable minimum royalty rate” of eBay’s PayPal transaction revenues. Partner Thomas B. Kinzler is representing XPRT. - Share this entry - - - - - [ View entry pdf ](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/pdf-snapshots/forbes-com-notes-kelley-drye-representation-of-xprts-lawsuit-against-ebay-20230614091656.pdf) ### Related Services - [Trademark and Copyright Litigation](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/trademark-and-copyright-litigation) - [Litigation](https://www.kelleydrye.com/practices/litigation) In the News [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/Grymes_Thompson_Christie_L.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=8cdff8f3f62f20742ddf756217720753) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/In_the_News_Listing.svg) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/christie-thompson-featured-on-abas-trust-and-trade-podcast) July 20, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/christie-thompson-featured-on-abas-trust-and-trade-podcast) In the News [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/Mon_Gonzalo_listing.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=e5cf250ea9912bedfdad33a60aa6fb97) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/In_the_News_Listing.svg) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/gonzalo-mon-quoted-in-politico-on-click-to-cancel-rules) July 17, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/news/gonzalo-mon-quoted-in-politico-on-click-to-cancel-rules)
