I have a question for you. Granted it maybe out of your area a little.
How is IP Law doing? Are these firms doing the same in terms of layoffs.
Intially when the construction business went belly-up in PHX my friend was very busy. People started to sue each other for the revenue and oustanding bills.
Anything similiar in IP Law. It would seem that once a outside source of revenue dries up that many deseperate companies would rely on the law to restablish this. For example; Company A makes a product that is making money hand over fist, then the revenue stream dries up. Company Z makes similiar product but may be percieved as infringing on Company A’s patents. Company Z still has a revenue stream. Company A sues Company Z.
Just wondering and thanks in advance.
Also kudos to you for having the courage to post. You know you were creating a firestorm when talked about high salaries, lawyers, and layoffs! 😛
