AccelPro IP Law Podcast: On Practice Pointers for Patent Appeals
July 10, 2024
O’Melveny senior counsel Coke Morgan Stewart joined the “AccelPro IP Law” Podcast to discuss the patent appeal process and her tips for writing persuasive patent appeal briefs. “You want to win on the first page, as the saying goes. But you really just want to orient the judges to your case and make them … interested in what you’re going to say,” she said. “I think of the introduction, or the brief, as a movie. The introduction is a trailer to the movie that the court is about to see. Definitely don’t overlook that opportunity.”
Stewart is a seasoned intellectual property and appellate litigator with decades of experience in private practice and government service. She served as the second highest-ranking officer of the United States Patent & Trademark Office, and as Deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
