Perkins Coie
West Coast-based firm Perkins Coie is nationally ranked for its practices focused on generic Hatch-Waxman litigation and patent prosecution. The firm represents a diverse mix of clients in the life sciences sector, including companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device areas. For the firm's continued activity in significant life sciences IP cases, Perkins Coie was shortlisted for the Intellectual Property Firm of the Year award by LMG Life Sciences in 2019.
"Our view is the specific attorney makes all of the difference, and Michael Wise at Perkins Coie has consistently created value for our firm through his work," a client says about the firm's life sciences industry group chair. Wise specializes in patent prosecution, portfolio development and litigation in the life sciences sector. He continues to serve as patent advisor to a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients, including eGenesis Bio with its genome editing portfolio.
Seattle-based Paul Parker is chair of the firm's medical device industry group. He receives repeated praise from peers in the space for his work counseling companies on their med tech portfolios. A recent patent prosecution client notes the team "clearly demonstrated a superior level of analytics and recommended course of actions."
Shannon Bloodworth co-chairs the firm's IP practice group, and is one of the country's leading litigators for Hatch-Waxman disputes. "I find her to be really impressive," a peer says. Bloodworth, along with partners David Anstaett and Brandon White, represented Mylan against Teva in the newsworthy patent case involving Copaxone. Bloodworth was recognized by LMG Life Sciences as 2019 Generic Hatch-Waxman Litigator of the Year, while Anstaett was awarded General Patent Litigator of the Year in the Midwest.
