There is booze in the conference room, kitchen, and most of the attorney offices. My last firm had a bigger liquor cabinet though (but 5X as many lawyers so...)

Vox Nihili posted:What's your practice now, MoFaux? I had been working for the federal government (as a contractor) for about a year and building a little solo practice here in DC on the side during that time. I wasn't really happy with the government contracting job, so when I sold ClintonKaine.com a month ago for $15,000, I decided to use this new cushion to go whole hog with my solo practice, and didn't seek a new government contract when my term ended in August. As far as my practice areas go, I'm willing to do pretty much anything people ask me to do, but I mostly work for startups and local businesses (my ongoing clients include several bars, a distillery, a property management company, and a few small IT companies). I clear and file a lot of trademarks, I draft and review a lot of documents and contracts, and I'm hoping to do more litigation over time. I'm also trying to grow my weed law practice, as weed is becoming more and more legal here in DC. I also do pro bono work here for tenants, sex workers, and low-wage workers.

I'm in the DC area for two weeks now, can i get free booze at your distilleries? More than anything though I'm looking forward to watching the first debate, in America, with lots of beers. I wonder if there's a good bar for that in Alexandria.

I can't imagine anything less fun and more annoying than watching presidential debates with a bunch of drunk, center-left, semi-nerdy DC yuppies. It'd be like being in a real life Trump meme.

So I just got an Office Action that has a 101 rejection purportedly under Alice, except the Examiner cites USPTO interim guidance from 2005 and State Street as the rationale for the Alice rejection. Like how the gently caress did the SPE even sign off on something like that.

That's wrong and/or invalid for about a dozen different reasons... but I didn't fight it anyways because printed matter doctrine (and I already had claims for creating the code and the machine that creates the code).
