I was deeply saddened to learn this week of the death of Lew Rose , a visionary in the early days of the internet who was one of the very first lawyers to create a website and who went on to an illustrious career in advertising and consumer law, capped by his six-year tenure as managing partner of the law firm Kelley Drye. I once wrote a post about the first law firm to launch a website — a distinction I gave to Venable , which debuted its site in 1994.

For the entire history of human civilization, the ability to put words together intelligently, whether spoken or written, has indicated an underlying level of understanding and a general level of intelligence of the speaker or writer.

Some of these tests, which are separate from the breath test used to measure blood alcohol content (BAC), assess motor skills and balance that typically suffer

While none of these cases induced large numbers of amici to ask the Court to grant cert, they do represent several current issues in IP law that remain unaddressed. From the use of joinder to evade time-bar limits in patent validity proceedings to the service of process required for a grant of preliminary injunction, the Court’s cert denials

Cloud Court has been using AI to help clients create and understand testimony for years. And when it comes to testimonial applications, we’ve tended to favor non-generative AI over generative AI tools, despite having both capabilities.

Listening to the argument, it became instantly clear that the designer’s voice was missing from the arguments of both parties.
