Don't get me wrong, I love engineers, they're great, but I have found them to be deficient in analyzing legal issues. And I speak from experience, having represented them.

A terrific exception was IMJ, but he is unique. I hope he keeps a very active hand in things.

Engineers tend to see things in black and white, numerically, and like to pigeonhole issues. This is not how law works.


Both sets of professionals have a job to do in IP cases. What would happen if the legal folks got zero input from the engineers? Do you think they would know how to spell CDMA?

Most all high level engineering involves careful consideration of tradeoffs, cost/benefit, power/computing budget, schedule/features, superior/cheaper materials etc etc. The best type involves thinking outside of the box "pigeonhole". Your view of engineering is very limited.
