Fish & Richardson made several client wins official last year through appellate rulings that put the stamp of approval on the firm’s trial court victories.

For example, partner Juanita Brooks in Fresenius USA v. Baxter International convinced the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to throw out Baxter’s infringement case on a novel theory. The court said Baxter’s case had been nullified when Fish persuaded the U.S. Patent Office and Trademark Office to invalidate Baxter’s patent on hemodialysis machine technology.
