The North Carolina Department of Justice is suing a prominent law firm on behalf of the University of North Carolina for a bungled patent application in Taiwan related to flat-screen nanotechnology.
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney has found itself on the wrong side of a lawsuit brought by a university and a nanotechnology firm. The action alleges that an IP boutique that later merged with Buchanan Ingersoll dropped a plan to acquire a patent in Taiwan, instead of Thailand as its client allegedly had directed, making Buchanan Ingersoll liable by association. The action serves as a cautionary tale of the mix-ups that can happen with international deals involving multiple players and copious e-mailing.
