Sir Bonar Neville-K and Carlo Daffara.

It is perhaps worth pointing out that Sir Bonar Neville-Kingdom is a satirical caricature of a senior UK civil servant. The scary bit is he's so plausible.

News Pick If Lawyers Sell Legal Expertise to Clients, Who Owns the Resulting Product?

If Lawyers Sell Legal Expertise to Clients, Who Owns the Resulting Product?

White and Elan (as well as any class of plaintiff's) do not enjoy exclusive rights of distribution and copying on court filings. Their complaint (PDF) asking for an injunction describes their irreparable harm as not having control of copying, redistribution and the right to receive revenue (copying and distribution).

This appears an attempt to inflate the economic value of copyrights when at issue is that West or Lexis Nexis is actually selling convenience.

UMG's summary judgment motion denied in James v UMG, digital download 'sale vs license' case
Authored by: red floyd on Friday, April 20 2012 @ 08:41 PM EDT
So, by UMG's own logic, if I purchase a digital download of music by a UMG
signed artist, it's a sale, and therefore I can do whatever the heck I want with
the download, with no restrictions, under the First Sale doctrine.

Museum display company sues Apple over touchscreen patent
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 20 2012 @ 11:49 PM EDT

This could be another case where USPTO has issued a patent to Apple for something already patented because the lawyer speak made it impossible to tell what it was about. What is RE 43,318? My Google-fu has turned up only a nice example of how a patent should be written for a practical device with descriptions and diagrams of the hardware and software. US Patent 2943318, filed August 1942, issued June 1960. The delay was probably caused by the device being a pulse radar jammer.
