Band 1
Deanne Maynard is held in high esteem for her expert handling of appeals, being particularly noted for her deep experience in patent cases.

She is a vigorous advocate; she'd do anything for her clients. I think she is really creative about what arguments she makes: even if it's a losing argument, she does well to make it winning.

She's developed a reputation as one of the very finest appellate lawyers in the IP space. She is a rare advocate who has gained the complete trust of the bench, the Federal Circuit in particular..
