Overview
In recent years, the ease of inventing and going to market has created a competitive global marketplace. Under these conditions, it has never been more important to protect and enforce your valuable patent assets throughout the IP lifecycle to preserve your edge and safeguard your bottom line and business value.
To mitigate risk and capitalize on opportunity to advance your business goals, you need a partner in the courtroom and the boardroom. That’s our bread and butter. We assemble the best team possible for the matter at hand to deliver business-driven solutions for existing problems and innovative strategies to help you stay ahead of the competition.
As the patent litigation landscape grows increasingly complex, with recent precedent-setting decisions from the Federal Circuit of Appeals and the Supreme Court, we offer an IP litigation team well known for protecting and enforcing patents through complex litigation globally. We handle high-stakes disputes for clients across geographies: the US federal district and appellate courts, the US Supreme Court, the International Trade Commission, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the courts of Europe and China.
Our lawyers were some of the first filers before the PTAB, and we have earned major patent victories in dozens of federal district and appellate courts, including the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit—and its predecessor, the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals—where we have argued more than 100 appeals. In appellate matters, you benefit from our IP lawyers’ extensive experience and knowledge around the practices, procedures and judges at the Federal Circuit.
We have a longstanding record of achieving favorable outcomes for clients in high-profile patent districts, including the Eastern District of Texas, District of Delaware, Northern District of California and Eastern District of Virginia, among others. We have also achieved key successes in cases against non-practicing entities (NPEs), and have specific experience in disputes involving technologies such as automotive technology, semiconductors, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and other life sciences products.
At trial, our teams effectively explain complex technology and IP legal principles to both judges and juries in a way that increases the likelihood of achieving favorable results on your behalf. We can also resolve disputes through favorable settlement negotiations. This is the caliber of work we do for our clients every day.
In all matters, we are fearless and relentless advocates for your company, here to protect and enforce your patent assets throughout your business lifecycle.
