The case isn't going anywhere, and notice that he is a partner in a firm, but that he has not filed this on behalf of the firm.

I can tell you from experience that there are plenty of lawyers who don't give a damn what other lawyers think about them. Aside from which, his firm has its regular clients who don't know or care what other cases he takes.

I don't have an opinion about this lawyer one way or the other, and this wouldn't affect my decision to advise a client to engage him or not in patent litigation. My guess is that they aren't serving the suit because they are looking for "go away money". If he gets it, good for him.

Every attorney has, once in a while, a client who lies their ass off. Sometimes you figure that out early, and sometimes you figure it out later.
