And we won, preserving a $54 million verdict for the injured Plaintiffs.<\/p>\n

When modern, national internet 2.0 businesses were not subjected to personal jurisdiction in the federal courts in California, we took the appeal \u2013 and we won. The resulting landmark, published federal appellate ruling established proper personal jurisdiction standards for the modern internet world.<\/p>\n

When a decorated United States Navy patent prosecutor was charged with inequitable conduct in patent prosecution by a trial court, we were asked to defend his reputation on appeal \u2013 and we won. The resulting landmark, published Federal Circuit Court of Appeals decision clarified patent prosecution standards for patent prosecutors and in turn redeemed the Navy employee\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

Our appellate lawyers have clerked for the Ninth Circuit. Our appellate lawyers have litigated dozens of appeals in the Ninth Circuit, and the Federal Circuit and Patent Board of Appeals. Our appellate lawyers teach appellate advocacy. Our appellate lawyers run a Ninth Circuit appellate clinic at the University of California, Irvine School of Law. At One LLP we are appellate lawyers. Many lawyers do appeals, but they are not appellate lawyers. Knowing the difference is critical. One LLP is the difference.<\/p>\n

For clients, the selection of appellate counsel is an important decision, one that is often misunderstood because all too many people assume that an appellate lawyer is the same as a trial lawyer. Not so. Appellate lawyers have a new audience, one that has a different focus.\u00a0 Knowing that difference is critical to presenting appellate arguments and defending against appeals seeking to upset favorable judgments. At its core, effective appellate advocates must know their audience of judges and know the appellate courts. We do, because this is what we do. Appellate advocates must be creative with the law. We are, because this is what we do.<\/p>\n

Appellate Counseling<\/h2>\n

An appeal is not simply the next step in a case, and shrewd clients and trial lawyers recognize the need for adept appellate litigators to counsel them on appeal. For this reason, an effective appellate lawyer must do more than just litigate appeals. Appellate lawyers must also work with trial lawyers. At One LLP, we regularly work with trial counsel \u2013 whether as shadow appellate counsel or not \u2013 providing appellate counseling services without requiring any damage to the existing trial lawyer-client relationship.<\/p>\n

These appellate counseling efforts also include the strategic use of amicus briefs to help aid an appeal. We have worked to provide and secure amicus support for large publicly traded companies for small businesses in niche industries, and even worked with the United States government in securing amicus briefing to help the government in complex patent cases.<\/p>\n

We look forward to serving your appellate needs \u2013\u00a0whether for patent appellate counsel in the Federal Circuit or for copyright, trademark, trade secret or business appeals in the Ninth Circuit or California appellate courts\u00a0\u2013 and\u00a0working with your trial counsel in a collaborative fashion to best position you for success on appeal.<\/p>\n

Appellate Litigation<\/h2>\n

We have\u00a0argued appeals before the Federal\u00a0Circuit Court of Appeals (for patent cases), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Patent Board of Appeals, the California Courts of\u00a0Appeal, and recently went to the United States Supreme Court for one of our pro bono\u00a0cases. \u00a0Here is a\u00a0sampling of\u00a0published decisions\u00a0in several noteworthy federal and state cases:<\/p>\n
