Hospira, the first patent-infringement jury trial about a biosimilar under the BPCIA. In 2019, I won affirmance of that judgment on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, where I served as lead counsel for Amgen. LMG Life Sciences recognized the case as a Patent Impact Case of the Year for 2017.
