Mark C. Fleming won an important case in the Supreme Court of the United States -- Stanford University v. Roche Molecular Systems. The 7-2 decision by Chief Justice Roberts affirmed the position of client Roche, and is the first time that the Supreme Court has affirmed a patent decision by the Federal Circuit notwithstanding the U.S. Government urging reversal. This case was Mr. Fleming's first oral argument before the Supreme Court.

The transcript of oral argument and the decision are available at the Supreme Court website:
