Fish & Richardson handles more patent litigation than any other firm. According to Corporate Counsel, an American Lawyer affiliate, Fish worked on 220 cases in 2012, more than double the amount of the next busiest firm. By way of comparison, the winner of our IP competition, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, handled just 48 cases that year.
Of course, any patent litigation shop can file and answer complaints. But Fish, according to the firm’s internal count, handled 20 percent of all U.S. patent cases tried to verdict in 2012.More importantly, when Fish goes to trial, it’s a force. In March 2012 partner Thomas Melsheimer won a defense verdict in the Eastern District of Texas for several U.S. airlines in an infringement case brought by CEATS Inc., a nonpracticing entity (NPE) with a patent on a process for reserving seats online.
