Limelight Networks' Dion Messer Honored With the Federal Circuit Bar Association's "George Hutchinson Award"
30 Luglio 2012 - 2:03PM
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in Digital
Presence Management, today announced that Dion Messer, Senior
Intellectual Property Corporate Counsel, has been honored by the
Federal Circuit Bar Association (FCBA) with its most prestigious
recognition award, the "George Hutchinson Award." The award
recognized Messer and her co-chair of the FCBA's Veterans Appeals
Committee, Lawrence Kass, a partner in the New York office of
Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, for their strong leadership of
the committee and its significant achievements over the past years.
The Veterans Appeals Committee established and administers the
FCBA's Veterans Pro Bono Program, working to identify and screen
appeals filed pro se with the US Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (COAFC) and, for appropriate appeals, secure pro bono
counsel from among FCBA interested attorneys. In addition,
the committee works to establish and build connections with other
Veterans Law Committees from other bar associations, as well as
monitor developments and offer educational programs with respect to
veteran's law within both the judiciary and legislature.
Messer and Lawrence served as chairs of the committee for the
past two years, and also served as the committee's vice-chairs for
two years prior. During their tenure, pro bono attorneys secured by
the FCBA's Program have successfully argued cases before the COAFC
to recoup benefits previously denied to veterans and their families
by the Veterans Administration. Of additional note, the Court's
opinion in many of those cases created precedent that will help
untold numbers of veterans newly applying for benefits to the
Veterans Administration. Messer herself successfully
represented Vietnam War veteran Leroy Comer in his more than 30
year battle with the VA to get disability benefits for his Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder disability. Messer argued on Mr. Comer's
behalf, and the Court agreed, that veterans who are not represented
by an attorney do not need to make explicit formalist arguments for
certain benefits when their informal arguments raise the question.
In her role at Limelight Networks, Messer manages patent litigation
and prosecution as well as all other intellectual property
matters.
