連邦巡回控訴裁判所および最高裁判所
About
控訴審での経験が豊富な代理人として
米国で知的財産権に関する裁判が行われた場合、判決は控訴される可能性が高くなります。連邦巡回区控訴裁判所（CAFC）であれ最高裁判所であれ、控訴審では、その裁判場を支配する規則に関する広範な知識が要求されます。また、法律と事実の両方を十分に理解し、自分の立場を明確に伝え、聴衆を巧みに説得することが求められます。
弊所弁護士は、CAFCで何百件もの訴訟の準備及び弁論を行っており、その数は他の法律事務所よりも多く、約 40 名がCAFCの裁判官のロークラークを務めた経験を有しています。弊所は、米国のすべての連邦控訴裁判所において、また、広範な業界及び問題を扱う訴訟において、控訴人、被控訴人の双方を代理しています。弊所がこのような訴訟で成功を収めているのは、知財に特化した事務所であること、弁護士らが高い技術的専門知識を有していること、そして控訴案件に直接関与する経験が豊富であることに他なりません。

Obtained complete victory against Carrum on appeal of the District of Delaware’s claim construction to the Federal Circuit following Carrum’s stipulation of non-infringement under the claim construction, thereby exonerating BMW’s ACC system, first sold in 2000, against Carrum’s 2004 patents. Invalidated several asserted claims through post-grant efforts before the U.S. Patent Office, including IPRs and EPRs, and pursued claims through proceedings before the Eastern District of Virginia to vindicate BMW’s patent challenges.

Finnegan represented Bausch & Lomb’s licensee Eye Therapies, LLC in an appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decision finding Eye Therapies’ patent directed to a low-dose brimonidine treatment for eye redness (Lumify®) to be unpatentable. In a precedential decision, the Federal Circuit agreed with Finnegan’s arguments and found that the Board had wrongly invalidated the patent based on an incorrect claim construction, vacating and remanding the case back to the PTAB. The proceeding settled shortly thereafter
