Finnegan Earns Top Rankings in LMG Life Sciences 2014 for Patent Work
WASHINGTON, DC – LMG Life Sciences has released its 2014 ranking of life sciences law firms. For the third consecutive year, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP ranked as a “highly recommended” law firm in four intellectual property categories: patent prosecution, patent strategy and management, general patent litigation, and Hatch-Waxman patent litigation.
In the ranking analysis, LMG states, “With an intellectual property practice consisting of top-tier attorneys capable of assisting clients in prosecution, strategy, diligence and litigation, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner is considered a leading legal partner for companies in the life sciences.” The publication goes on to acknowledge, “the firm is [also] active in high-profile jurisdictions outside of the US and is thereby able to offer consistent prosecutorial strategies before both the USPTO and European patent courts.”
One client praised the firm’s ANDA litigation work saying, “Finnegan achieved a victory for us in a very difficult case. They are a very good, diligent law firm and show a deep understanding of the important materials. They [also] have a good understanding of and respect for foreign-based clients.” Industry peers told LMG, “Finnegan is rightly well-known in the space [and] the firm has a strong life science litigation practice and appellate practice.”
In addition to the firm rankings, LMG Life Sciences recognized Finnegan partners Michele C. Bosch, Donald R. Dunner, Thomas L. Irving, J. Michael Jakes, Charles E. Lipsey, Leslie A. McDonell, Sanya Sukduang, and Charles E. Van Horn as Intellectual Property Life Science Stars.
In compiling its rankings, LMG Life Sciences reviewed nearly 1,000 interviews and surveys completed by partners who are active in the life sciences market. In addition, LMG spoke to clients and leading lawyers, and reviewed public information to help inform the research process.
