schestowitz> Thanks for getting back to me.  Figos and I have had a falling-out.  He told me that he had interrupted one of your chats and I disapproved and he got mad at me...   Maybe he will get over it, and then again, maybe not.Sep 17 00:09

schestowitz> For some reason, I thought I would look beyond the website, and see whatSep 17 07:59
schestowitz> was on the internet about Pollock Cohen.Sep 17 07:59
schestowitz> Sep 17 07:59
schestowitz> According to this, it is a young aggressive law firm with the perfectSep 17 07:59
schestowitz> attitude to take on the USPTO.  Just have to hope they figure out howSep 17 07:59
schestowitz> they can make enough money to do it.Sep 17 07:59

schestowitzFWIW, I think the lawsuit against Lee is misguided, IIRC it's Tennessee-based, and it is mis-framing the actual problem at the USPTO or aims at the wrong thing. Iancu and Kappos bothered me a lot more and extremists try to shoehorn another puppet into Director slot at the moment.Sep 17 08:00
schestowitzThis whole system is f-ed. It's even worse in Europe's EPO, which I write a lot more about: http://techrights.org/wiki/EPOSep 17 08:00
