Howrey’s Intellectual Property appellate practice has more than 50 years of experience before the US Supreme Court and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), which hears all patent appeals from district courts and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In addition to patent cases, our attorneys have handled other IP appellate matters including: - Trademark
- Trade dress
- Trade secrets
- Plant variety protection cases
Howrey has the experience and resources to manage all types of appellate proceedings at any stage of litigation, including interlocutory appeals, emergency stay motions, writs of mandamus and petitions for certiorari. In fact, a substantial portion of our IP appellate clients turned to us to represent them at the appellate level for cases in which other law firms handled the trial below.
Howrey’s IP appellate attorneys have the scientific and technical backgrounds to handle patent and other IP cases in any field of inventive endeavor. Our IP appellate practice also benefits from attorneys who have worked in appellate courts, such as those who served as law clerks for judges of the Federal Circuit, its predecessor court, the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and other regional federal appellate courts.
