Let's get realistic.  Fraud, deception, and intentionally misrepresenting
the law is the norm in the Intellectual Property legal community.  The
corruption is so engrained into the system that it has turned into the
normal way of doing business.  The attorneys who make these excuses or
pretend that it doesn't happen are just as bad, and just as responsible, as
the attorneys who have actually engaged in the practices.  While it is not
every single on, it is the majority.

I am in the process of pursing bar association complaints against several
attorneys involved in some of the most egregious and ridiculous claims (with
both the state bar assns. as well as the USPTO) and you would not believe
the excuses and circular arguments I received.  These people will do or say
anything to help protect their fellow lawyers.

This is not "slander," it is FACT and every single trademark lawyers knows
it.
