Very clicky. Either your in or your out and they will give you the boot. Support staff is hard. Lots of turnover. Bad training, but if you say anything, you’re gone.

Lackluster as outside patent counsel.

I am pretty knowledgeable about the IP world, and I never heard of them!

I was really surprised to look them up and see about 170 attorneys at the firm. Wow!

As an employer or as outside counsel?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

In prosecution, if a patent attorney does not try to remove prior art cited by an examiner (eg a 130 affidavit to assert an exception under102(b)(1)(A)), but instead makes arguments to overcome the art, may the attorney made an admission that bars removing the art later in prosecution. Just received such a transfer case, looking for options.

A frustrated colleague asked for help with a difficult prosecution. I agreed to help. I just reviewed up the case and the examiner is combining NINE references. I think that’s a record for me. What’s your record for most number of references combined?
