When Patent Prosecution Becomes Something More Image

When Patent Prosecution Becomes Something More

Ryan Ward

Most days, preparing and prosecuting patent applications follows a familiar rhythm. Talk with the inventors. Draft the application. Wait for the Patent Office. Argue a few times. Secure the patent. Repeat. But every so often, a case reminds us that our work can mean much more — especially when something has gone wrong, and someone needs an advocate to make it right.

Firm Leaders: You Are the Sum of Your Parts

Mike Mellor

Large law firms rode a strong 2024 on the back of broad demand and aggressive rate growth — but the model is wobbling. Expense pressure is up, realization risk is real, and AI is reshaping how clients assess value. Firms that treat their legal and client experience as structured data (and not as anecdotal story sharing at meetings) will plan faster, pitch smarter, cross-sell wider, bill more, and protect margins when market tailwinds fade.

Legal Precision Meets Opportunistic Investing: How Savvy Real-Estate Investors Can Maximize Returns in Today’s Distressed Market

How To Determine Duration of Royalty Contract That Doesn’t Contain Specific End Date

Stan Soocher

In 1997, Supertramp members Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies, the band’s main songwriters, agreed to share their songwriting and publishing income with the group’s three other members — John Helliwell, Robert Siebenberg and Douglas Thomson — and their personal manager David Margereson. But there was one key point missing in the participation memorandum: The agreement didn’t state how long it would remain in effect. It wasn’t until August 2025 that the issue was decided, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The Expansive Equitable Powers of Bankruptcy Courts Under Section 510(C)

Lawrence J. Kotler & Klara Bradbury

In a recent decision, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey subordinated a 502(h) claim to prevent the claimant from being paid in full prior to investors defrauded by the debtors’ pre-petition operation of a Ponzi scheme. In its decision, the court maintained that the equitable powers of bankruptcy courts were sufficiently broad to subordinate a claim on equitable grounds under Section 510(c) and that there is nothing in the Bankruptcy Code that prevents a court from so doing.
