Jones Day - Services - Federal Circuit and IP Appeals

When litigating intellectual-property issues, winning at trial often isn’t the end of the story. Appeals are common in these high-stakes cases, and so it is not enough just to win at trial – winning means winning at the court of appeals as well. At Jones Day, our long and distinguished history of advocacy in intellectual-property appeals covers the waterfront of intellectual property – appeals to the Federal Circuit in patent cases, PTO actions, and ITC Section 337 investigations; appeals to the federal courts of appeals in trademark and copyright cases; and petitions for certiorari, briefs and arguments on the merits, and amicus curiae briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court .

Jones Day has been recognized by Legal500, an independent guide to law firms, as a "go-to firm" for patent appellate work, describing our Federal Circuit and IP Appeals service as "particularly strong." Beyond our superior knowledge of the varying subject matters involved in the broad field of intellectual property, Jones Day’s lawyers bring both general appellate excellence and a particularized understanding of the unique appellate court that is the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This is an essential part of the services we provide to our patent and other IP litigation clients – making sure that the trial record is properly made, and the issues framed, for any appeal that might follow the trial-court proceedings, win or lose. We also bring vast experience in pre-appeal and emergency practice in the trial courts – post-trial motions, motions for stays of judgments and injunctions, supersedeas (appeal) bonds, discovery applications to aid our clients involved in non-U.S. litigation, and the like. Indeed, our lawyers were some of the first in the country, after the Supreme Court's eBay decision, to convince a federal district court to deny an injunction after a verdict of patent infringement.

Our Federal Circuit and IP Appeals service is not limited to appeals in the cases where we have represented our clients in the trial court. We are also pleased to be considered as new or additional counsel on appeal, whether to defend a significant judgment or to seek to overturn an adverse one.

Jones Day's lawyers have authored significant articles and treatises on important appellate and intellectual-property matters. They have been recognized by the media as leading authorities in these areas. And, unlike many of our competitors, we are committed to overall appellate excellence with a deep roster of able and experienced advocates; we believe it is in the best interest of our clients to offer numerous leading advocates, not just one "name" who is expected to argue all cases. This is in the best traditions of our renowned Issues and Appeals practice, a model which, it has been recognized by The American Lawyer, has served our clients exceedingly well.
