Report: The Best Hatch-Waxman Law Firms of 2021

Last week, we explained our 2021 findings for the best firms involved in inter partes review proceedings. Today, based on the second annual ANDA Litigation Intelligence Report, which evaluates all stakeholders in Hatch-Waxman cases, we will focus on some of the best law firms involved in these complex cases, and their ranking based on their performance and activity. The study covered a four-year period, from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2021, where we identified a total of 1,179 ANDA cases, 1,471 ANDA attorneys, including 289 local counsels, and 243 law firms. More than 90% of all cases were filed in New Jersey and Delaware, which made some attorneys and law firms in those states very busy during this period.

Patent Quality: Is PTAB up to the Challenge?

There has been tremendous growth in the post-grant review system. But that growth is perhaps disproportionately driven by top filers. In both 2013 and 2014 almost a quarter of all IPRs were filed by the top ten petitioners that year. Among those top petitioners are many names you would expect to see including Apple, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft. However, having the system driven by a few major players is not necessarily beneficial, as it can leave behind smaller but still important actors.
