Winston & Strawn’s Intellectual Property Practice is recognized in the 2016 IAM Patent 1000 rankings, including 19 partners listed as leaders in patent law. Winston is one of only 21 firms recommended in the national patent litigation category.

IAM states that the 180-plus attorneys making up Winston’s patent infringement team boast “impressively muscular contentious capabilities” and that the firm “towers over the national patent litigation scene.”

The firm’s offices in California, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C. were recognized in the regional rankings:

• New York: IAM notes that Winston has “sophisticated, motivated trial attorneys on each coast” and that all of the firm’s practice groups are represented in its New York office. “The local IP team is robust on either side of the contention/non-contentious divide, and litigators and prosecutors are both represented on the IAM Patent 1000 tables.”
• Texas: The firm’s Houston office “remains a redoubtable outfit and a major player in the oilfield industry in particular.”
• Washington, D.C.: “Winston & Strawn has one of the best ITC practices in the country.”
