Federal Circuit Appeals
Adept Practitioners with a Strong Record of Success
We regularly argue patent appeals at the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and in other federal and state appeals venues. The Mintz team has a record of successfully handling complex IP and technology disputes. And we have upheld positive — and overturned adverse — PTAB and federal district court decisions on behalf of clients operating in the life sciences and in high technology.
