BP/G Radio Intellectual Property Podcast

Remember the promises that, despite the fact that manufacturing jobs were leaving the US, value-added Information Age jobs (such as IT) would stick around.  Then we watched as office jobs walked across the land bridge to India and other destinations.  What about the practice of law?  Certainly no profession has better been able to protect its turf than the legal one?  Why - lawyers in one state can’t enter the courtroom in a neighboring state without associating with a  local attorney or taking another exam.  Double-licensed patent attorneys really have nothing to fear… right??  What then to think of some US law firms moving patent and trademark prosecution and litigation-related services to India?  Is this the end of US law practice as we know it - or just a way to offer more client services at lower cost?  Ernest speaks with J.R. Maddox, Esq., Director of IP Services at Lexadigm Solutions, LLC (www.lexadigm.com), a global outsourcing service provider, on the promise and peril of IP offshoring.
