Philadelphia Antitrust Case Remanded to Lower Court
A price-fixing case filed in Pennsylvania state court that asserts no federal claims, cannot be removed to federal court since antitrust is not an area of complete federal preemption, a federal judge ruled.

"Pennsylvania courts have recognized the unlawfulness, in a civil context, of price fixing conspiracies and other combinations in restraint of trade," the judge wrote.Martindale-Hubbell Faces Challenges
Law firms are questioning the usefulness of Martindale-Hubbell's listing of attorneys and biographies in its annual book and online, as firm Web sites evolve and Google is ever-present.

Like many IP boutiques, Synnestvedt & Lechner had a long history, but now, it's no more. Following a series of partner departures and layoffs, the firm has disappeared into a merger, with Fox Rothschild acquiring the majority of its remaining lawyers. Synnestvedt & Lechner joins the club of IP boutiques that have burned out in recent years.
