It's quite straightforward to identify the company and founder you're talking about on the basis of the profiles you link to on your site. Of course, there's nothing too controversial in the piece but it perhaps makes it a li

Good points. It would definitely be a good feature if explicit retainer conditions could be fed into the system to analyse bills, and certainly a client is in a strong position where associates are photocopying. The more interesting point w

How does this interact with lawyers' terms of engagement? Under terms of engagement you'll be incurring fees and by the nature of an invoice you can't necessarily contest this after the fact. Unless of course you agreed with

I'd personally prefer to have a clear name as free from risk as possible (or at least known risks) from the start, rather than have to start at square one if I have to change my name in the future after I've built up goodwill (and

Without wishing to be the bearer of potentially bad news, I would suggest that you may run in to potential issues due to the below links, showing a UK registered trade mark for 'Wigwam' and an active website for an estate agent go

This is very true. There are obviously a whole a range of potential causes of a referral. I just find the use of 'largest law firm' a bit ambiguous and unnecessary in light of the potential CoI issue. 'Network of firms'

To me the messaging is confused. The tagline of creating the world's largest law firm clashes with what appears to be the central idea of the site i.e. to promote referrals between lawyers. The reason for the clash is that referrals of

By definition if you haven't received the letter it is impossible to know what to add. Having said that, and stating the obvious, a letter of intent is generally intended to grant an exclusivity period to the potential acquirer in whic

The story should be titled 'Ditch the contract (and use Hourglass). All in all fairly terrible scaremongering about the alleged pitfalls of using an agreement. An agreement does not have to be complex to make it clear that for example, no a

Very interesting analysis. The central legal principle that we are talking about here is under the UN Charter which of course all members of the UN agree to abide by. Article 2(4) provides that all members will refrain from the use of force

Interesting that claim 1 appears to have been cancelled for some reason, perhaps due to being insufficiently clear. That's generally the broadest claim so clearly the USPTO saw fit to narrow the patent down to an extent, just not as greatly

More importantly, this is UK-based employment, and consequently, unless specifically available in the contract, overtime would not generally be available in this scenario.

I suppose the key question is what came first - was code that the creator was exposed to whilst in employment incorporated into Chart.js, or was code created by the creator incorporated into projects at work. Clearly in the former case, the

Thanks for the response! I'm just a curious lawyer from the UK so a visit to San Mateo won't be necessary :)

On a slightly unrelated point, how do you guys deal with liability issues? If someone inputs data correctly, and then for some reason, your system fails to correctly provide the data to the relevant registry, then I imagine a client might

Of course! I walk past that road everyday so could make an educated guess at 40km/hr. Mind you, my maths skills are poor so I won't be about to start delving any deeper into the calculation!

'What's the Word' is a poor trade mark in that it is very descriptive and not particularly distinctive. If the game had a really distinctive trade mark around it, the maker would be better placed to request a takedown of the other apps if t

Sure thing - will send an email. Looks like K&S have got things fully under control at present (had a look at the OHIM filings) but happy to be a sounding board or provide whatever input I can.

You can trade mark any word provided it is not descriptive of the goods and services you want to apply it to, and that it is also distinctive. I could get the trade mark for python for software, but would be unlikely to get the mark for sna

It should be stressed that usage of the mark must be shown to be of more than local significance to defeat the application from the UK company. Consequently it is vital that folks from as many EU countries as possible respond to the request
