Practice/Organization Description
ABOUT FEDERAL CIRCUITRY
The Federal Circuit decides appeals addressing patent law, government contracts, trade disputes, tax appeals, suits against the federal government, veterans’ benefits, and federal employment cases. Federal Circuitry takes a data-driven look at the Federal Circuit. Our Federal Circuit Statistics empirically analyze appeal timing, outcomes, and other quantifiable aspects of the Court. Our En Banc Tracker shows pending and past petitions where the Court has called for a response. Our Substantive Order Tracker allows you to search for less-discussed and hard-to-find orders that affect practice before the Court. Check back weekly for Last Week in the Federal Circuit and monthly for our Oral Argument Recap.

ABOUT MORRISON & FOERSTER’S PATENT LITIGATION PRACTICE
We are a global IP litigation powerhouse, dedicated to fiercely protecting innovation in high-stakes and complex patent litigation matters. While we are skilled at resolving disputes short of trial, some cases do see the inside of a courtroom. When they do, our trial lawyers stand out for their superb knowledge of patent law, experience with judges in high-volume patent venues, facility with explaining cutting-edge technologies to juries, and history defending against patent assertion entities and other habitual plaintiffs. From cross-border matters and multiparty disputes to global litigation management and NPE litigations, we develop novel solutions to protecting and enforcing some of the most prized patents in the world.
