My attorney didn’t quote precedents. He did not give examples of other court cases. I didn’t expect him to as this wasn’t a court room and all I was really seeking from him were answers to some general questions. I do, however, understand the importance of precedents.

Ultimately, my goal was to evaluate his responses and get a “feel” for the type of attorney he was. He was very confident and didn’t assume I was guilty of any infringing, even when I asked questions that hinted at such action. Furthermore, even if I was guilty of infringing there is nothing to stop me from doing so.
