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.

Winston Secures Federal Circuit Affirmance of 101 Victory for Polycom
Winston secured an appellate victory for Polycom (now part of HP) when the Federal Circuit affirmed a judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility in a lawsuit brought by directPacket Research, Inc. Working closely with HP, Winston argued that all claims of the asserted patent were directed to the abstract idea of translation via an intermediate protocol, with no inventive concept. The Northern District of California agreed, and the Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed, adopting Winston’s arguments. Eimeric Reig argued the appeal, working with HP and the Winston team, including Kathi Vidal, Kelly Hunsaker, Sam Lerner, Matt McCullough, and David Dalke.

Companies make flavor claims and place them on food labels. When companies list taste claims, they must use the correct terms when describing flavors. The FDA even defines how taste claims and flavor labels are used in marketing. If a flavor is improved or created by the addition of other ingredients, then an explanation of this is required. For example, “cherry” is used to describe a flavor that comes from real cherries. However, “cherry-flavored with other artificial flavors” might be needed if a blend of flavors was used.

The area of nutrition claims law deals with the regulations and violations related to listing the nutrient content of products, as well as making nutrient content claims. Food labeling guidelines are normally handled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FDA does provide rules for those who do the food labeling. A Nutrition Facts label is required on most food packages that have labels. In some cases, food and dietary supplement claims are regulated by law or through the FDA. One area of nutrition claims law involves the class action lawsuits filed by consumers to challenge a label claim.

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.
