The Federal Circuit’s 2011 opinion inTheraSense has been widely recognized as one of the most important patent-law decisions of the past few years.

Obtained a confession of forgery and inequitable conduct at trial and a resulting award of all attorneys’ fees; appeal to the Federal Circuit resulted in affirmance within two days of oral arguments.
