WilmerHale’s top-tier patent litigation practice has garnered numerous national awards for consistently winning headline-grabbing cases. Our patent prosecution team has filed thousands of US and foreign patent applications. We also have substantial experience in patent interference and reexamination proceedings, opinions, counseling, due diligence and audits. And our trademark lawyers are equally adept at registration and litigation.

Healthcare clients benefit from the industry experience, scientific knowledge and courtroom know-how of our more than 200 lawyers, including more than 120 who hold scientific or technical degrees. Our teams have achieved business-critical victories for numerous healthcare and medical device companies. For example, for Roche Molecular Systems, we prevailed against Stanford University in a closely watched case regarding the effect of the Bayh-Dole Act on patent rights to inventions developed using federal funds (the first patent case in which the US Supreme Court affirmed the Federal Circuit, despite the fact that the solicitor general urged reversal). We also represented Medtronic in its appeals of adverse judgments in three cases, obtaining rulings reversing the district court’s judgments against the company and awarding sanctions in two of the cases.

BTI Consulting has named WilmerHale an IP Litigation Standout and a Fearsome Foursome Honor Roll member in its recently released BTI Litigation Outlook 2017 report.

The rankings place WilmerHale among the top 20 IP Litigation firms in the industry. The top firms were selected based on more than 330 corporate counsel interviews conducted this year between February 18 and August 1. More than 200 law firms were ranked. Those ranked are the law firms that corporate counsel are “currently turning to for their most pressing litigation needs,” according to BTI. And WilmerHale's position on the Fearsome Foursome Honor Roll means it's one of the “most feared” litigation firms in the industry, according to the report.

WilmerHale achieved its IP Litigation Standout and Foursome Honor Roll ranking based on corporate counsel input from across more than 15 industry segments, including banking, chemicals, consumer goods, energy, financial services, high tech, insurance, investment banks, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, professional services, retail trade, telecom, transportation and wholesale trade.

Earlier this summer, BTI recognized WilmerHale as one of the firms with the strongest client relationships in the industry, landing at number 13 on its list. The BTI 2016 Power Rankings also included WilmerHale among the top 10 firms working with pharmaceutical companies and the top 16 working with insurance agencies.
