Fulwider Patton has succeeded in "bet-the-company" litigation by:

• Investigating the facts in discovery and analyzing potential legal theories consistent with the facts
• Preparing cases for trial with close attention to detail and careful consideration of persuasive arguments
• Having a thorough knowledge of legal procedure and the rules of evidence
• Assuring that our clients are an important part of the litigation team
• Presenting a case so that jurors can understand and appreciate the facts and the law

In addition to their legal credentials, the patent attorneys at Fulwider Patton have backgrounds in engineering and science such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics.  Understanding the technology is important because this underlying substantive expertise is necessary for litigating patent cases the way they should be litigated.
