- Q. cN you help me with ownership of patent of my grandfathers inventions please
- A: Thank you for asking this question. I understand that you are trying to determine the ownership and status of patents that might have been awarded to your grandfather's inventions.

- Q. my lawyer put my name wrong in the documents she filed and had bad communication is this malpractice
- A: I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're having with your lawyer! While it's concerning that your name was misspelled in the documents and there were communication problems, a single mistake or disagreement doesn't necessarily constitute legal malpractice.
Malpractice is a complex legal concept that requires the lawyer to have acted negligently and for that negligence to have caused actual harm to the client.
Some key factors to consider:
- Was the misspelling of your name a simple typo that didn't impact the substance of the filing? Or did it cause confusion or problems with the court or other parties?
- Did you attempt to communicate and clarify your requests, ... Read More
