A former FisherBroyles client suing the firm for professional negligence said he may not be able to recoup any damages despite the “admitted negligence” in the case because the law firm plans to apportion fault to a now-dismissed-co-defendant if the case is presented to a jury.

Inventor James Robinson sued FisherBroyles and its IP tech vendor, CPA Global Support Services, in 2020 for failing to meet a foreign patent application deadline, a mistake that allegedly cost the surgical products inventor millions of dollars in disallowed patents in several international markets.
