ILT learned long ago that if we schedule Tom Irving as the last speaker – nobody leaves. So I am, once again, thoroughly enjoying having Tom yell at the audience about the ethical pitfalls inherent in patent prosecution.
ANDA cases are not the most common bird locally, so it’s worth taking notice when a 160 page opinion containing 309 findings of fact and 89 conclusions of law rolls out the courthouse door, as happened the other day.
It’s sad around the Hub these days, and I’m sure it’s not because our oldest Grayson has officially left home to start engineering school at Baylor, but because Judge Love has recommended granting the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the defendants’ claims of inequitable conduct and unclean hands in this case, leaving the defendant standing beside their truck in the parking garage trying not to completely lose it as they try to go on as if things will ever be the same again.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
