Federal appellate work, no. Not if it is a legit appeal with undecided/conflicting sources of law.

depends on complexity. Standard Twombley/Iqbal motion to dismiss - probably about 10-20 hours. Motion for summary judgment or opposition to motion for summary judgment - possibly 60-100. Pre and Post-trial briefing at say, the ITC, could be 200+

Depends on whether I have a good precedent or not.

If I am researching and writing from scratch then about 2-3 hours per page.
