Last year was another extraordinary one for patent litigation. It began with two U.S. Supreme Court decisions likely to change patent practice for years to come?one on a patent licensee’s right to sue, the other on damages for products sold abroad?and ended with a strong legislative push, which ultimately foundered this year, to revamp the patent system. It also was the year when little Marshall, Texas, rose to become the undisputed patent litigation capital of the world.
Our survey has changed as well. For the first time, IP Law & Business has done a separate survey of appellate work at the Federal Circuit level, measuring court appearances that not only settle business disputes but also tend to create law. This addition has led to the appearance on our lists of some firms that don’t usually make our district court list, such as Dechert, Minneapolis-based Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, and Chicago-based McAndrews, Held & Malloy.
