What’s happening: Kyrie Cameron, an associate at Patterson + Sheridan, the largest IP law firm in Houston, with offices across the United States, recently presented an important oral argument to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., which hears patent appeals. It’s a meaningful opportunity for a young associate who’s been arguing IP cases more locally.

What’s it mean for an associate to earn an opportunity to make their first argument in federal court?
