Morning boys. Long night last night. Got a call from my grandma that her heat wasn't working. Me and my cousin, who does that, went up to get it going. Ended up under the house that has about 18" of crawspace trying to find where duct work had come loose. Came face to face with a not so friendly feral cat that had decided to make a home under there. Long story short, a close calls at scratches and a bite and one less cat in the world. Finally got her duct work fixed and her happy. Got home a little before midnight. Tired and sore this morning. Did i mention I was still sick with this chest cold.

They're worried I'm going to "do something." Not sure what they are worried about. Founding partner keeps trying to get me to schedule a "talk" because he's "worried about me." What I think he's really worried about is me leaving and taking my AV Peer rating and my "Best Lawyers in America - Intellectual Property Litigation" to another competing firm. Certainly if the right opportunity came along I'd look at it, but I don't want to become the lawyer version of a "system quarterback" either. In the meantime, when he wants to "talk," I'm going to let him have it - in a very professional manner, of course. Other than that I'm just keeping my head down, and doing my job.

Agreed, They have every right to be scared and concerned. They know they baited you. That should cost them immediately, especially if they are using your credentials, standing and awards for business gains!!!
If he's so concerned when you finished quietly reading him the riot act ask for a 15-20% kicker as a stopgap....

I think I'd tell them they can no longer use your credential,s accreditations and awards to advertise, solicit or drum up business.
Oh and congratulations on your AV peer rating and making the list of best IP Lit lawyers...that is no small feat!!!

I too hate playing job hopscotch because employers refuse to justly compensate a long term employees. It forces you to play that game to build your salary expediously...

What would it take to open your own doors? It paid off big time for me.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

A lot, unfortunately. Patent litigation is expensive stuff, as you probably know. Costs alone can top $500K for a single case. I probably would need at least that in financing to start my own shop, along with a solid partnership with another firm to handle overflow, etc. One thing I'm considering is immersing myself in the IPR proceedings, which might be more effective in the short term, but with possibly less upside.

You still should have a decent amount of leverage at the current job to at least sweeten your deal. They need to be made accountable for their baiting....
