Hi Ho Silver: Texas Supreme Court Finds Patent Agent Communications Protected

Overview


David Mlaver wrote this bylined article on the Texas Supreme Court’s Silver ruling, which held that a client’s communications with a registered patent agent regarding legal services fall within Texas attorney-client privilege (In re Silver). “Although the logic of Silver applies broadly, lawyers should analyze the rules that pertain to their particular venue before making assertions of privilege,” Mr. Mlaver wrote.
