Protecting the Universe of Ideas
Sughrue's litigation teams regularly appear before the U.S. District Courts, U.S. International Trade Commission, and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Sughrue's focus is on protecting the universe of our clients' intellectual properties and assuring that protectable rights remain freely available. While some firms specialize in litigation and others in intellectual property, Sughrue brings these skills together into a formidable team. Sughrue's attorneys have the substantive knowledge to create winning strategies and present even the most complex cases clearly and comprehensively to a judge or jury. At the same time, we are committed to focusing on our clients' business objectives and are fully prepared to pursue alternative dispute resolution when circumstances warrant.

No one knows patent prosecution better than Sughrue. Patent prosecution is at the heart of our firm. It forms the bedrock of our expertise in patent counseling, transactional work and litigation, especially inter partes matters before the USPTO. We believe the depth and length of our experience qualifies us as experts’ experts in all areas of patent prosecution and contentious proceedings before the USPTO. Sughrue has been called a “prosecution powerhouse” by the press. The description is apt. We file thousands of patent applications every year, and we obtain thousands of patents for our clients every year. We are always ranked first or second in surveys measuring the number of patents issued annually.

Sughrue’s USPTO Patent Trials litigators are uniquely qualified to counsel clients on the strategic uses of the new USPTO proceedings, alone or in the course of infringement litigation. Based on decades of inter-partes experience, our goal is to use our expertise to develop innovative and cost-effective strategies for administrative litigation, including consideration of settlement and arbitration of disputes.
