The latest Apple v. Samsung appeal reminds William Lee of a Disneyland adventure. “This had more twists and turns than Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride,” the Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner says.
Earlier this year, Apple and Lee saw a $119 million patent infringement judgment wiped out by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. After some soul searching, and with an assist from two younger Wilmer partners, Apple decided to ask the full court to review whether the panel overstepped the proper bounds of appellate review.
