Government Program Fraud, False Claims Act & Qui Tam Litigation
Investigations and litigation involving alleged fraud against the government pose a significant and growing threat to organizations and individuals across all industries that engage directly or indirectly in business with federal, state, and/or local governments. The government makes aggressive use of its extensive criminal and civil investigatory powers to root out alleged fraud and abuse implicating government funds, including one of its most powerful civil enforcement tools—the federal False Claims Act (FCA)—and similar state false claims statutes.

Winston Secures Federal Circuit Victory for Snap Axing Image-Presentation Patents on the Pleadings
Ask Sydney sued Snap along with four large tech companies in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, asserting infringement of two related patents on methods of generating and presenting images to a user to determine the user’s interest. Working closely with Snap, Winston successfully moved to transfer the case to the Central District of California, then moved for judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility under § 101 of the Patent Act. Following a hearing with multiple rounds of argument, the district court granted the motion, adopting Winston’s arguments that distinguished findings by the patent examiner during prosecution and by the Western District of Texas, which had denied § 101 motions brought by two other defendants. Ask Sydney appealed, but the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed three days after oral argument, handing Snap a decisive win invalidating all claims of both asserted patents. Eimeric Reig led the strategy and argued the appeal and motion hearing, working with Kathi Vidal and Kelly Hunsaker.
