Holiday? What Holiday?

Microsoft co-founder relaunches tech patent suit | Reuters. For lawyers representing Paul Allen's patent holding company, Interval Licensing, LLC, it has been a busy holiday season. First, the Complaint it filed against just about every tech company in the world, including Apple, Google, Ebay, AOL, Netflix, Yahoo, Facebook and Office Depot, and others, was dismissed for lack of specific allegations of the software allegedly infringed or infringing on Mr. Allen's company's patents. Now, a couple of days after Christmas, the company has filed an Amended Complaint that allegedly contains much more specific allegations. I suppose that a lawyer working over the holiday makes a lot of money. I don't. But, then, I spent a wonderful Christmas surrounded by friends and family, and, since I am a solo, I don't get the big cases that require such long hours. Big Law and Big Litigation. It's a dirty job, and someone has to do it.
