Tribute to Honorable Gerald J. Mossinghoff by Oblon Partner Arthur Neustadt
Gerry would on a number of occasions confer with me concerning his expert witnessing. During our discussions, we would sometimes revert to our common experience many years ago of being young and ambitious patent attorneys long before the creation of the Federal Circuit, patent trolls, the America Invents Act and even before touch tone dialing, personal (rather than main frame) computers, mobile phones (which were not in the least small, convenient or "smart") and, of course, even before the difficult-to-imagine-as-not-being-present internet.
Oblon Team Practices Social Distancing – COVID 19 Update
In order to cooperate in the fight against COVID-19, Oblon has done its part and for the first time in the history of the company, a large portion of our staff and professionals are teleworking full-time with a small team working on-site. This has enabled us to take care of our employees and at the same time seamlessly support our clients. Together, while keeping our social distance, we will overcome this new challenge.
