Someone has to prove
whose it is.
Practice is where rights are won and put to work; this is where they are contested. We act for rights holders enforcing what they own, for businesses accused of taking it, and for licensees caught between the two. Never for two sides of the same matter — the wall between them is why either can trust the advice.
