Crouch spends about an hour a day blogging about patent law, on top of his day job at Chicago's McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff. But the firm cuts him some slack for last year billing about 1,900 hours -- slightly under the firm's average -- because the blog has also landed McDonnell Boehnen new clients.

Erosion of Reporter Privilege in Texas Case Troubles Legal Observers

The incarceration of a writer in Houston because she won't give federal prosecutors notes from her research of a 1997 murder is raising heated debate in legal circles. One observer says the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has been narrowing the concept of reporter's privilege over time. Another worries whether Vanessa Leggett's case indicates law enforcement is trying to use journalists' research as "a shortcut."

Google's Patent Search Party

In December, Google debuted its newest search tool, Google Patent. The new engine unleashed a frenzy of patent searches, as Internet surfers looked up everything from sex toys to Eddie Van Halen's patent on a guitar support. But intellectual property attorneys were underwhelmed. Google Patent joins a crowded field of patent search sites and, although results come up slightly faster than the Patent and Trademark Office's site, the information is not completely current, making it less useful.

Preservation Helps Companies Prevail in Court

The first piece of advice for any corporation staring down the barrel of a white-collar criminal investigation or indictment is to make sure to preserve the evidence in its original form. Save the memos and the e-mails, preserve the hard drives and turn off the shredder. It's an approach that's quite anti-Nixonian. But it just might help your client survive longer than Nixon did.

Decision in Patent Case Could Reverse 20 Years of Precedent

Knorr-Bremse v. Dana Corp., scheduled to be heard by the Federal Circuit on Thursday, could be the catalyst for overturning 20 years of case law. The question at issue: May judges infer that a company willfully infringed a patent, if the company fails to produce a legal opinion showing it is not in violation of the patent?

Preservation Helps Companies Prevail in Court

The first piece of advice then for any corporation staring down the barrel of a white-collar criminal investigation or indictment is to make certain to preserve the evidence in its original form.

Inside the Microsoft War Room

Microsoft's four-lawyer patent litigation team is a busy group. The company became a patent powerhouse only after the Supreme Court's 1998 State Street decision legitimized patents on software, and its portfolio grew from less than a dozen patents to over 5,000 today.
