WilmerHale has been named a 2025 Law360 Intellectual Property Practice Group of the Year, recognizing the firm’s success in achieving decisive victories in some of the most complex, high‑stakes intellectual property matters companies face. The recognition follows Law360’s broader designation of WilmerHale as a 2025 Firm of the Year, highlighting the firm’s strength across six practice areas—including Appellate, Class Action, Compliance, Intellectual Property, Transportation and Trials—and its record of impactful litigation victories.

Law360 highlighted WilmerHale’s long‑term, strategic approach to intellectual property litigation, noting the firm’s ability to guide clients to successful outcomes through district court, appellate and Patent Trial and Appeal Board proceedings—often over the course of many years.

The firm was recognized for reversing multibillion‑dollar jury verdicts, defeating government‑asserted patent claims and prevailing in precedent‑setting disputes involving cutting‑edge technologies and life sciences innovations.

“Our strength lies in our ability to bring together trial, appellate and post‑grant experience across a wide range of technologies and forums,” said Amy Wigmore, co‑chair of WilmerHale’s Intellectual Property Litigation Practice. “That depth allows us to litigate the most complex IP disputes strategically and position our clients for success at every stage of a case.”

WilmerHale was recognized for advising clients in a range of industry‑shaping intellectual property matters, including:

• Apple Inc., in long‑running patent disputes that resulted in appellate and post‑grant victories eliminating substantial potential liability and protecting core technologies.
• Intel Corp., in a landmark patent case involving microprocessor technology, where WilmerHale helped overturn a multibillion‑dollar jury verdict and secure invalidation of the asserted patents.
• Gilead Sciences, in a rare government‑asserted patent infringement case, where a federal jury found noninfringement and the court upheld the verdict in favor of the client, defeating a potentially billion‑dollar claim.

WilmerHale’s Intellectual Property practice includes more than 100 lawyers across the firm’s U.S. and international offices, many of whom hold advanced scientific and technical degrees. Clients rely on the team for sophisticated, cross‑forum representation in patent litigation, post‑grant proceedings and appeals involving some of the most significant intellectual property disputes in the market.
