he practiced commercial litigation with Irell & Manella in Los
Angeles and Ross, Dixon and Masback (now Ross, Dixon and Bell) in
Washington, D.C.. In addition to appearances in
District Courts throughout the country (including Arizona, California,

the Federal Circuit, one of which remains pending.. Mr. Weiss's recent IP litigation accomplishments include:. Represented

issue with respect to infringement under the doctrine of equivalents

reversal of summary judgment of patent invalidity, based on the alleged
failure to name an inventor (216 F.3d 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2000)). The

governing the validity of issued patents. Irah Donner, the author of

Office, has called it a "key" Federal Circuit decision. It has also
been the subject of at least one law review note. See Janet S.
