Intellectual Property
Venable
The 2018 combination of attorneys from Venable and Fitzpatrick Cella Harper & Scinto resulted in a full-service group in the life sciences patent arena. The group is recommended for its strength in Hatch-Waxman patent litigation and portfolio management for pharmaceutical and biologic products.
"They provide well-thought-out, cost-effective and strategic advice in a timely manner," a client says about the firm's patent litigation group. Another client notes the firm's "exceptional ability to hear client's concerns and design a solution that meets those concerns." Dominick Conde is a leader in the firm's ANDA litigation practice who brings 25 years of experience in the area and frequently advocates for the firm's life sciences clients in the courtroom. He had recent success for client Pozen in a suit that upheld the validity of the client's Orange Book patents covering the product Vimovo.
Scott Reed serves as chairman of the firm's litigation practice group, and is experienced in biotechnology and pharmaceutical disputes. A client says about patent litigation veteran John Murnane: "I have met few lawyers with John's ability to understand the client's unique needs and to execute a plan to fit those needs. John has the ability to work with the court, outside counsel and the client." Ha Kung Wong successfully defended Alkermes in an IPR which challenged a patent related to its product Risperdal. Wong is described by a client as "responsive" and "a pleasure to work with."
Patent strategist Alicia Russo has a "deep understanding of both the law and the technology," a client says, further adding she is "able to advise her clients well, and also take a practical, business-minded approach." Russo is experienced in portfolio development, patent prosecution and due diligence.
