Winston represents a class of professional swimmers alleging World Aquatics (WA) violated antitrust laws by blocking their participation in the competing International Swimming League. After WA won summary judgment, Winston successfully appealed, arguing the court applied improper antitrust standards and wrongly denied certification of a damages class. In September 2024, the Ninth Circuit reversed both rulings, reviving all claims and issuing a landmark ruling on the possible application of the per se rule or quick look review to sports-associations rules. Am Law awarded Winston “Litigator of the Week” Runner-Up recognition for the win. In November 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied rehearing. In April 2025, the district court certified a damages class.

Won a major Second Circuit victory for Relevent Sports Group, LLC, a sports promoter that organizes soccer matches in the U.S. involving professional teams from non-U.S. leagues. A unanimous Second Circuit panel—repeatedly citing and quoting Winston’s briefs and oral argument—vacated the district court’s decision and revived Relevent’s antitrust suit against FIFA and the U.S. Soccer Federation, challenging a FIFA rule prohibiting official-season professional soccer games from being played outside a team or league’s FIFA-designated country. Am Law recognized the March 2023 win with a “LOTW” Runner-Up nod. With DOJ and Solicitor General support, we defeated Supreme Court review, leading to settlements with both defendants and paving the way for U.S.-venued foreign-league games.

Law Glossary
A post-grant review, or PGR, is a trial proceeding where the patentability of one or more claims in a patent is reviewed. The review process begins when a third party, who is not the patent owner, files a petition within nine months of a patent being granted or reissued. This filing challenges a patent’s claim or claims based upon a specific ground. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) is the branch of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that handles the trial proceeding. The post-grant review can be filed on any grounds that are available to dispute the validity of a patent claim, except for the following: failure to disclose the best mode requirement.

What Is an Inter Partes Review (IPR)?
An inter partes review of a patent is a type of administrative trial proceeding. Inter partes review became available in 2012 and replaced inter partes reexamination as a way to challenge patentability at the Patent Office. Any person who is not the owner of a patent can file a petition for a review of a patent. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) will act on the petition either instituting a trial or denying institution of a trial. This will occur a little over six months after the petition is filed. If trial is instituted, the proceeding will, with some limited exceptions, be resolved within one year.
