LJL. Literally no cases being filed. Companies realize IP Lit = huge waste of money with little to no upside. Kirkland/Weil associates desperatly sending resumes to Oliff/Oblon and other prosecution shops.

pretty shitty how DROVES of associates went into IP lit over the past five years during the troll bonanza and smartphone wars only to (presumably) get shitcanned or pushed out over the next few years

happening now at almost every biglaw firm. these associates have no marketable skills for other practices, so they are majorly career-fucked.

seems like ip shittigators can just become normal shittigators. they don't now anything except their small world, but they have some transferable skills

lol, no. IP lit people spend shitloads of time drafting invalidity and non-infringement contentions and talking with technical experts. none of that is transferable. if you're talking about knowing what a complaint is, then yeah. i guess some of the skills are transferable, but not the ones that are most used in IP lit work

as a patent barred dude who has avoided ip lit as much as possible in favor of general lit, the same lack of transferrable skills are true of many types of litigation that you'll due as a general litigator. as a biglaw gen litigator, you could spend lots of time talking to financial experts and on internal investigations or other white collar shit that isn't transferrable to shitlitigation.

This is the real problem with litigation -- it encourages ridiculous over specialization and then when your practice area naturally crashes you are super fucked. I just spent the last 6 years in a very narrow practice area myself and my field is dying too and in a year or so I'm going to be ULTRA fucked and out of a job.

No real reduction in disputes. Just taking a first shot in the PTAB. Reduction in total spend over the next year or so. Trolls are scared to assert software these days. But once the standard is clarified, trolls will be back in the district court with a vengeance.

But yeah prob a 10% reduction in associates and you need to pick up some PTAB work for now to survive.

Maybe at shit firms that only had troll cases. Competitor disputes, particularly in pharma, are alive and well.
