heh... interesantnog li naslova?
da, ima veze sa Apple-om. da ne bih prepricavao:
Apple, betrayed by its own law firm
Lawyer-turned-"troll" started planning patent suit six days after iPhone launch.
"FlatWorld Interactives sued Apple in April 2012, naming just about every gadget in Apple's arsenal as a product that infringed its two related patents. FlatWorld's patents are said to cover swiping gestures on a touch screen. During the next three months, the company filed similar lawsuits against LG Electronics and Samsung aimed at a wide array of smartphones made by those companies.
Court documents unsealed this week reveal who's behind FlatWorld, and it's anything but typical. FlatWorld is partly owned by the named inventor on the patents, a Philadelphia design professor named Slavko Milekic. But 35 percent of the company has been quietly controlled by an attorney at one of Apple's own go-to law firms, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. E-mail logs show that the attorney, John McAleese, worked together with his wife and began planning a wide-ranging patent attack against Apple's touch-screen products in January 2007—just days after the iPhone was revealed to the world.
Jennifer McAleese reached out to numerous "troll patent" companies, as she called them, convinced that she and Milekic had an "excellent position against Apple" if and when they chose to sue. She e-mailed top patent lawyers at Google and Nokia, competitors known to be in patent clashes with Apple.
The whole time she was advised by her husband, a lawyer who had access to reams of confidential Apple data—but who says he never touched it. (Apple doesn't see it that way.) "
