In a November 27, 2023 order, and a set of subsequent letters, Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly referred certain attorneys employed by Texas monetization operation IP Edge LLC (which is not a law firm) to a Texas disciplinary body for the unauthorized practice of law, also referring local and lead counsel for certain LLC plaintiffs before him to state disciplinary bodies for improperly treating IP Edge as their true client. Those LLC plaintiffs are Lamplight Licensing LLC, Mellaconic IP LLC, and Nimitz Technologies LLC. Now, one of the referred attorneys—Jimmy Chong of Chong Law Firm PA—has been ordered, alongside co-counsel (David Bennett of Direction IP Law), to appear next week before Judge Connolly. The court has warned that both attorneys must be “prepared to address the Court’s concern” that the “same improprieties” prompting the referrals “may have occurred in connection with the litigation” in additional IP Edge-linked cases, namely, those filed by Swirlate IP LLC and by Waverly Licensing LLC.
