I thought it was interesting that September featured opinions in Federal Circuit\u00a0appeals that had been argued by two former US Solicitors General, Seth Waxman and Paul Clement. In addition, former US Solicitor General Ted Olson just recently filed a Petition for Writ of\u00a0Certiorari on behalf of Microsoft in the I4I v. Microsoft<\/span> case. That made me curious just how often former US Solicitors General get involved with patent cases,\u00a0particularly how often they argue at\u00a0the Federal Circuit.<\/p>\n

It turns out the list is pretty slim. From what I could tell, only Seth Waxman, Ken Starr, and Paul Clement have argued cases in the last four years that the Federal Circuit has been\u00a0recording oral arguments.<\/p>\n

Here are links to those oral arguments if you want to take a listen:<\/p>\n
