The Invisible Jurisprudence Hand: Will the Lawyer Problem Take Care of Itself?

The Invisible Jurisprudence Hand: Will the Lawyer Problem Take Care of Itself?

By Jason Busch on January 15, 2011

Let’s face it. Companies spend far too much — even after sourcing and category management efforts — on legal spend. According to one study I glanced at from BTI consulting, the average Fortune 1000 company spends roughly $19.4 m…

Could Fake Steve Jobs Go to Jail?

Could Fake Steve Jobs Go to Jail?

Online impersonators could be fined up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail according to California Senate Bill 1411, which Governor Schwarzenegger has just signed into law.   The new law is  meant to protect victims of cyberbullying, malicious impersonation – says  Senator Joe Simitian, the Bill’s author on his homepage: “E-personation,” said Simitian, [...]

On Wikileaks, the Inkspots and a political philosophy ramble.

By Thomas Otter on December 3, 2010

Thomas Paine, “It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.” George Washington, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.” Julian Assange,  “The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie.” Antonio Gramsci, “To tell [...]

O’er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees

By Thomas Otter on November 27, 2010

Shylock: Most learned judge, a sentence! Come prepare! Portia: Tarry a little, there is something else. This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood; The words expressly are “a pound of flesh.” (painting by Alexandre Canbanel. The Merchant of Venice) The jury has decided.  SAP owes Oracle 1.3 Billion dollars.  I’ll leave others [...]

Finally, Graduating Lawyers are Considering a Profession That Benefits Society: Procurement

Finally, Graduating Lawyers are Considering a Profession That Benefits Society: Procurement

By Jason Busch on July 12, 2010

I must say I got a chuckle from a recent article counseling law school grads to consider “alternative career paths” including procurement. After all, one good mind going into our field and one less shark slowly bleeding the economy to death must be a positive thing now, mustn’t it? The story suggests that given the [...]

Our “patently absurd” patent system

Our “patently absurd” patent system

By Vinnie Mirchandani on May 8, 2010

While my book is not specifically about patents, a book that focuses on innovation and grand challenges would be remiss to not point what a “grand challenge” it would be fix our patent system. Some excerpts about patents from The New Polymath The Wall Street Journal in an editorial summarized the mess the patent system [...]

The Problem with Software Patents

The Problem with Software Patents

By Bob Warfield on May 8, 2010

Software patents are a disaster for innovation.  The system is asymmetrical, in the sense that it is very expensive to defend against a patent suit.  At the same time, it is very easy to get a patent on almost anything, including things people have no business getting patents on.  I have a friend who was [...]

Digital economy meets dinosaur politics

Digital economy meets dinosaur politics

By Phil Wainewright on April 8, 2010

Digital citizens are disgusted at the way the UK parliament rushed Internet censorship provisions into law last night. The political establishment is out of touch with the rapid pace of change unleashed by the Internet.

Net Neutrality is Now Deader than Dead

Net Neutrality is Now Deader than Dead

By Jeff Nolan on April 6, 2010

Comcast won a major legal case it filed against the FCC regarding Comcast’s attempt to throttle BitTorrent traffic on their network. The FCC fined Comcast on the grounds that it violated their net neutrality policy, and Comcast took them to court arguing that not only were they wrong to regulate internet data on the grounds [...]

Cloud-Based BPM Vendors: Geography Matters

Cloud-Based BPM Vendors: Geography Matters

By Sandy Kemsley on February 18, 2010

Image via Wikipedia I’ve spoken with a lot of cloud-based BPM vendors over the past few years, and I inevitably ask where their services are hosted. Since almost all of these are American companies, or are primarily targeting the American market, the answer is, almost inevitably, in the United States. I continue to point out [...]
