The need for a legal "Elements of Style" aimed at U.S. patent litigators has long been acknowledged by patent law attorneys and judges within the Federal Circuit. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has recently embarked on a campaign to improve the quality of briefing. With Patent Appeals: The Elements of Effective Advocacy in the Federal Circuit, Mark Davies has provided attorneys with an indispensable guide to briefing and arguing cases before the Federal Circuit. Patent Appeals: The Elements of Effective Advocacy in the Federal Circuit is a practical guide to appellate advocacy for patent attorneys appearing before the federal appellate court responsible for patent law. The book guides readers through the organizational requirements needed for a Federal Circuit appellate brief, as set out in the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, with an emphasis on developing an appellate style for briefing a patent appeal. It is an essential manual of instruction for litigators and anyone interested in understanding the procedures of writing a winning appellate brief and presenting it in court.
Topics include clear writing, the importance of presentation, the types of arguments most likely to succeed, and the formal requirements for filing a brief. Other issues include effective oral argument presentation and petitions for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. Samples (all written by the author) are included.

Mark Simon Davies is a counsel in O'Melveny & Myers LLP's Washington, D.C. office, where he works on appellate matters in one of the top Supreme Court and Appellate practices in the country, led by former Acting Solicitor General Walter Dellinger. While on the Appellate Staff of the Civil Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, Mark represented the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, and various other federal agencies. He argued more than twenty-five cases (in nine different appellate circuits), including Festo Corp. v. SMC, Corp., Fed. Cir. No. 95-1066 (en banc), and Southco Inc. v. Kanebridge Corp., 3d Cir. 02-1243 (en banc). He also drafted numerous 'Calls for the Views of the Solicitor General, ' particularly in patent cases, and various Supreme Court merits briefs. In addition, Mark appeared frequently before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court while on a six month detail to the Justice Department's Office of Intelligence Policy and Review.
