| Microsoft patent case may not compute with high court | Top |
| The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday seemed reluctant to make it easier to challenge the validity of patents. At the same time, some justices raised concerns about too many "bad" patents in the marketplace and a federal patent office too overwhelmed "to separate the sheep from the goats," in the words of Justice Stephen Breyer. | |
| Federal Circuit upholds recent precedent on joint infringement, but two judges object | Top |
| A divided ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit illustrates the fragility of the court's recent precedent for joint infringement. At issue is when a defendant has enough control over an infringer to be liable as a joint infringer. | |
| THE 2011 APPELLATE HOT LIST: Team took off the gloves defending Chevron | Top |
| Lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher turned to an often ignored section of U.S. law to obtain depositions, documents and outtakes of a documentary film in an effort to prove that environmental contamination claims brought in Ecuador against their client, Chevron Corp., are fraudulent. | |
| THE 2011 APPELLATE HOT LIST: Doing well with what comes down the pike | Top |
| David Frederick describes himself and his colleagues at Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel as "pike lawyers," a term he first heard from a venerable local practitioner, Jacob Stein. "We take whatever comes down the pike," Frederick said. In recent years, more and more clients have been coming down the pike to see Frederick and his colleagues for appellate help, especially at the U.S. Supreme Court level. | |
| THE 2011 APPELLATE HOT LIST: Legal cliff diver lands on his feet at Latham | Top |
| When he left his position as solicitor general of the United States in late January 2009, Gregory Garre eschewed the comfort of a return to his prior law firm, the former Hogan & Hartson, for the unknown territory of Latham & Watkins. His transition was eased by the well-regarded appellate shop that awaited him. | |
