Latham’s renowned Supreme Court and Appellate lawyers bring vast experience and technical prowess to arguing and winning precedent-setting IP appeals before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and US Supreme Court.

The appellate practice is led by a former US Solicitor General, a former Assistant to the Solicitor General, and numerous former clerks from the US Supreme Court, Federal Circuit, and other US courts of appeals. Latham lawyers argue regularly before the US Supreme Court and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, providing a formidable combination of IP and appellate expertise.

The IP Appeals team has made hundreds of appearances in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in the last several years, and regularly argues nearly a dozen cases each year. Latham’s appellate lawyers argued their first US Supreme Court patent appeal in 2006 — since then, the firm has been involved in numerous patent cases that have been granted certiorari or decided by the US Supreme Court.
