Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a fan of Patent Trolls. Actually, there are only a few areas in which Im a fan of patents at all. The lawsuits filed against Magnolia (and Apple, Amazon and Weinstein Companies) are perfect examples of why. In this case a company was able to get a patent…
My First SEC Trial Transcript Has Some Real Comedy and a Message to Mary Jo White – SEC vs Schvacho –
I couldn’t have asked for a better case to kick off loading SEC vs …. trial transcripts on this blog. But before I get into it, let me add some disclosures. I am not a lawyer. So take anything I say that might be construed as legal “advice” with pounds of salt. I’m not attempting…

Youtube Mobile vs Youtube on your TV and the impact of TrueView (updated)
