Q: My friend patented in Mexico a new way to clean water in the oceans. Would like to sell here in USA.
Answered on Apr 7, 2019
Your friend's patent will only protect him/her from the competition within Mexico. If your friend did not patent it with the USPTO, anyone will be able to practice the invention in the US, but so nothing for your friend to sell. What does your friend want to sell?

Q: Is the city responsible for property damage caused by limbs falling from the city trees? After a limb falling on my car.

Q: Can I sue a company for mishandled regulated chemicals
If you did not suffer a severe injury as a result of exposure to the chemicals on your roommate’s work clothes, taking legal action against the employer will most likely be a fruitless endeavor.

The landlord can shut off utilities for temporary service but should provide advance written notice.

Q: Should I get a lawyer to help me with this case?
Answered on Aug 26, 2016
