What tasks do you have your IP paralegals doing for patent and trademark prosecution?

Okay fish what is going on: I'm still eating at my caloric deficit, working out 1hr x 5-6 days / week, my measurements are smaller BUT I've gained 2kg in 2 weeks - what gives?

My work gives us points/money for achieving certain activities such as exercising for 180 mins per week. I have my Apple Watch automatically sync with the app that tracks our activities and it works great. Problem is I started using NRC (Nike run Club) app for runs and it interferes with the Workout app on my Apple Watch and it doesn’t get tracked. Has anyone found a way for the NRC and Workout app to run simultaneously (pun intended)?

Anyone find that early in your consulting career ADD was an advantage... new projects, new colleagues new clients, etc. In brainstorming sessions everyone would come up with 5 ideas and i [CONT]

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

I am preparing for the CIPP/US exam using their official textbook (3rd Ed). If anyone has a good outline, would you be willing to share? I tried to create one myself but it is taking way too long :/ Thanks so much in advance!

Do you guys list things you did on your resume, or just titles & agencies? Been at this for 8 years and feel like each job, while different, had me do the same stuff we all know. Feels redundant?

What’s the thought that keeps you from giving up?

Thinking of making the switch to Siegfried but the comments I see on here and Reddit are not great. Can anyone share some insight? Is it a good move to make the switch from big 4 audit senior associate? Biggest concern is upward career progression and potential exit opportunities.

Any ideas for automating IP legal work?

Is it a viable business opportunity for a mid level patent litigation associate to leave BigLaw and consult? Service could include pre-litigation diligence (e.g., pre-litigation infringement analysis) for funding companies and law firms, overflow work, consulting for patent prosecution firms that take on ipr or litigation work, litigation consulting for tech companies that don’t have in-house counsel. Cross posting this in the BigLaw bowl.

What do y’all think about the new Copyright Small Claims courts that will be set up within the year?

What kind of copyright work can you practice for clients outside your jurisdiction without violating ethical rules besides copyright registrations.

I recently started with Firm A (AM Top 200), and Firm B (AM Top 50) reached out for an interview. Given the potential pay with Firm B is significant (I’d say life-changing), I scheduled the interview. Should I disclose Firm A during the interview or wait and only disclose if Firm B makes an offer? Between now and the interview, I will not have completed any significant work for Firm A.

Any good recommendations for keeping up with new developments in a technical field? Maybe subscriptions to open access journals?

Although I know you don’t need to pass the patent bar to “technically” do patent litigation, would it be a dead end move to pursue patent litigation without a technical degree / admission to the patent bar? In other words, would most BL firms refuse to staff associates on patent litigation cases if they don’t have a technical degree?
