Covington has a longstanding, highly successful appellate litigation practice that extends to our patent litigation practice. The firm’s appellate practice includes 60 specialists and boats 16 former U.S. Supreme Court clerks and six alumni of the solicitor general’s office. Our attorneys have handled more than 50 cases before the Supreme Court and hundreds in state and federal appeals courts. Indeed, Covington has been named to The National Law Journal’s Appellate Hot List in both 2008 and 2009, as having one of the top appellate practices in the country.
Our patent litigation practice has a track record of obtaining favorable results for our clients on patent cases before the Federal Circuit, and is regularly asked to represent clients on appeal after a lower court has entered an adverse ruling.
