Brian Ferguson is recognized among the leading patent lawyers in the United States. He has more than 30 years of experience representing Fortune 100 innovator companies before all of the major patent law venues — the International Trade Commission, district courts, the Federal Circuit, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board — in high-stakes IP disputes involving an array of technologies. A leading publication described him as a “master technician” who “calls the right play at every stage of a case, whatever the forum.”

During 2023, Winston & Strawn LLP’s appellate and critical motions practice argued a strong concentration of cases before the Second, Seventh and Federal Circuits. Among its diverse docket of work, the team secured a significant volume of antitrust-related appeals. Most notably, Chicago-based department head Linda Coberly successfully represented Chicago Parking Meters (CPM) in the Seventh Circuit in a case brought by two Chicago residents challenging the $1.1bn concession agreement between CPM and the City of Chicago. Andrew Tauber and patent specialist Brian Ferguson are also recommended—both sit in Washington DC.
