Successful appellate advocacy in the IP arena requires a deep understanding of legal complexities and technical details, particularly before courts like the Federal Circuit, which shapes the interpretation of statutes like the Patent Act. Carlson Caspers excels in integrating these elements seamlessly into compelling arguments, supporting your interests in any IP case appeal, including patent, copyright, and trademark disputes.
Approach to the Appeals Process
We approach your case collaboratively, creating a dedicated team of experienced attorneys and your subject matter experts (SMEs). This team combines thorough analysis, strategic planning to address long-term business needs, and clear communication to ensure it covers all legal and technical bases. For example, your Carlson Caspers appellate team carefully examines trial court records, identifying potential vulnerabilities when seeking a reversal and crafting persuasive arguments that anticipate and proactively address judicial concerns. When the appeals advocacy objective is to defend a decision, our attorney team members reinforce the case strategy with sound, defensible, and robust legal and factual foundations.
A significant advantage of working with Carlson Caspers is that many of our appeals attorneys have served as law clerks at the appellate level, providing valuable insights into judicial reasoning. Throughout the process, from fact-finding to prosecuting the appeal to post-appeal analysis, we align our strategies with your business goals, ensuring we create an approach that supports immediate legal needs and broader strategic objectives.
Our team ensures every team member can confidently articulate your company’s arguments, present expert testimony as required, and participate effectively in the appeals process. We never bring anyone into the courtroom who is not fully prepared.
