Background

About Mel Bostwick

I am a partner of Orrick's Supreme Court and Appellate practice. My practice focuses on high-stakes appeals, with a particular emphasis on patent appeals before the Federal Circuit. My practice capitalizes on two of my passions: technology and great writing. As an appellate lawyer, I have the opportunity to help companies protect their innovations and their intellectual property. I am adept at translating complex technology and intricate legal issues into a clear and simple presentation that judges of any background can understand. I bring these skills to bear in representing clients on appeal to the Federal Circuit and before the Supreme Court, and also in partnering with trial teams to address legal and strategic problems in district court, the ITC, and the PTAB. I also regularly advise technology clients on difficult IP and strategic issues facing their companies. I also have the privilege of representing pro bono clients and am particularly passionate about using my Federal Circuit experience to help veterans in their appeals to the court.
