The A-List (51-200)

Lawyers like to lament the passing of their fabled past, when partners knew each other on sight, firms contented themselves to operating in one ZIP code and junior associates were not a menacing anonymous horde threatening to take out their frustrations via the blogosphere. As it happens, in the big-firm world those days aren't gone, they've just moved to the Am Law Second Hundred ranks, where firms are prosperous and growing steadily but retain the possibility of old-fashioned cohesion.

Operation Munich

Other U.S. firms have IP practices in Munich -- the IP epicenter of Europe -- but Jones Day is one of only two firms doing patent prosecution there, using a local office staffed with German patent practitioners.

A recent Indian court decision rejecting Novartis' contention that the country's patent laws are unconstitutional wasn't simply about breaking a patent.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Nearly every one of the 160 firms that participated in the associates survey score their lowest marks on communication-related issues. Says one associate: "It is easier to hack into the CIA computer network than to learn about executive committee decisions that affect everyone." From being kept out of meetings to not getting feedback on their work to being left in the dark on what it takes to make partner, midlevels are pleading for better dialogue with firm management and partners.

Few and Far Between

But for women, getting a starring role in a patent trial is rare and difficult. A review of firms with top patent litigation practices shows that few are female, and even fewer women have been in a lead role on a case that went to trial.

In a 6-5 en banc decision handed down on Friday, the Federal Circuit revived two patent infringement cases—one brought by Akamai Technologies Inc. against Limelight Networks Inc., and another by McKesson Corp. against Epic Systems Corp.
