Pause, Rewind, Litigate

Circulating in the super-charged universe of patent infringement for state-of-the-art technology, Morgan Chu is a man who once had the chutzpah to bring knitting needles and oven mitts to a court trial, a decidedly low-tech exhibit that was intended to illustrate a high-tech point.

Yahoo Builds New IP Licensing Model

When Joseph Siino came on board as Yahoo's first vice president of IP, the company needed to transform itself from Internet portal to global digital media company to compete with fellow giants Google and Microsoft. Siino's job was to figure out a way to use -- and expand -- the company's growing IP portfolio to build business partnerships with any company that could provide valuable digital content and products. That doesn't exactly sound like a job for a lawyer, but Siino appears to be pulling it off.

Tech Companies Buzz With IP Privilege Debate

Tech companies routinely receive letters telling them they might be infringing on someone else's patents. Where things have gotten murky -- for corporate attorneys as well as their outside firms -- is in deciding how best to respond to such letters. Good thing, then, that the Federal Circuit announced last week it would be taking up just this issue. The court's move has IP attorneys buzzing, with some arguing that nothing less than their ability to provide fair advice to their clients is at stake.

Pay Dirt

Five years ago, salaries for first-years reached $125,000 in major cities. Since then, firms have relied on the promise of bonuses rather than raises to drive recruitment. Now, as pressure builds for another salary increase, a few national shops have upped first-year pay by up to $10,000, and many midsize firms are offering higher compensation, too.
