As reported in detail last week, Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly has referred certain attorneys employed by IP Edge LLC (which is not a law firm but entities tied to which, taken collectively, were formerly the top NPE filers by an order of magnitude) to a Texas disciplinary body for the unauthorized practice of law. The court has also referred certain local and lead counsel to state disciplinary bodies for improperly treating IP Edge as their true client in cases filed before it. Among the revelations from the memorandum order preceding those letters is a behind-the-scenes look at the apparent stress that “bringing patent monetization to the people” ultimately caused for “lay owners” of the IP Edge-linked plaintiffs, as well as yet another cautionary tale about committing one’s thoughts concerning a federal judge to writing.
