From Bow Tie Law’s Blog: In the epic legal battle over patents and floppy disk controller defects dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, the Defendants brought a motion to compel the Plaintiff, who was an employee of his own company, who did not regularly testify as an expert on the company’s behalf, to prepare [...]
There can be only one?
Bow Tie Law’s blog has a post up inviting us to a discussion with Judge Facciola hosted by D4, but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that BTLB is planning something nefarious, seeking to be the one and only Bow Tie in the e-Discovery Universe.
