Ok IA, since we need to get this brief out tonight, I'm going to need you to exercise your legal skills at the copier for a while.". This month, for the first time in my two-year career at this firm, I made the minimum requirement. Yes, today I move from "unsatisfactory" to "barely satisfactory.". September 29, 2003. If he gets an e-mail from me th...

A 'patent pending' notice gives one no knowledge whatsoever.". State Indus., Inc. v. A.O. Smith Corp. 751 F2d 1226, 1236 (Fed. Cir. 1985). June 30, 2003. I zested myself yesterday. I was zesting limes for a key lime pie. Yes, I own a zester. I slipped and cut my knuckle. At first I laughed. Then it started bleeding. So I'm holding paper towels on my hand and trying not to get blood all over my kitchen. I'm wondering- what would I tell the staff in the ER? Do I admit that I can't operate a zester? Author,...

I am in a dusty old abandoned file room today doing document review. For you non-attorneys, that means: "Read every page in these 13 boxes and make a note if any of them are relevant. Oh, and we need it by Monday. Oh, and if you miss anything, even one page, you're fired.". At what point do I start eating the documents for food? July 30, 2003. Hey, who'...

A 'patent pending' notice gives one no knowledge whatsoever.". State Indus., Inc. v. A.O. Smith Corp. 751 F2d 1226, 1236 (Fed. Cir. 1985). January 30, 2004. A week ago I noticed a large poinsettia plant set out for the trash in front of my apartment building, still in its festive red foil wrapper. I enjoy having a lot of plants in the apartment, so I took it inside, watered it, and set it on the window sill until I got a chance to but a pot for it. Last night I noticed that the plant is actually plastic.

Well my bloggy friends, the time has come for the IA to go to the BIG SHOW. That's right- I'm going to trial. No, not ON trial - TO trial. Later today I'm leaving New York City and spending the next two weeks living in a hotel in some strange city while trying a patent case in front of a jury in Federal fucking court. How about your JOB? He's been pr...

This morning when I stumbled down the stairs to the subway platform, I was in a terrible mood. I was crabby because I woke up late, I was crabby because my shins were tight during my morning run, I was crabby because I had to go to work today, and I was crabby that there were a bunch of tourists on the platform which was sure to make the. He's overr...

My thanksgiving dinner: beef with broccoli, egg roll, and shrimp dumplings. My entire extended family has the flu this year, so Thanksgiving has been postponed. I went to a Chinese restaurant last night. The food was great, but it's not the same without the arguments. November 27, 2003. The girlfriend occasionally reads the blog. November 26, 2003.

Carb THIS, Heart Attack Man. If I have one more meal with attorneys where someone mentions ketosis. So, what the fuck does that mean? February 25, 2004. I work for...

They seemed like a good idea in the store but now I only wear them when all of my other pants are being dry cleaned. But on the bright side, I am going to the U.S. Open. Tonight. So if you are watching it on TV and you see a guy there with really ugly pants, that's me. Sounds like a good idea in theory. And what the fuck ...
