Patent Infringement for couch potatoes.

By Stuart Soffer on

What's the world coming to?  The Madison County Record reports:

"In an article entitled, "TV Ads Lures Inventors," the IP Law & Business reports that ubiquitous TV lawyer James Sokolove refers 90 percent of patent leads he generates to SimmonsCooper.

The article states that Sokolove, based in Boston, is airing a nationwide advertisement on cable channel Bloomberg Television that blares, "Are you an inventor? Has your patent been infringed?"

According to another article in the National Law Journal, Sokolove has made a cameo appearance in "The Sopranos." In one episode, a Sokolove commercial was audible in the background as lead character Tony Soprano was watching television.

Sokolove has also appeared on "Scrubs," in character being introduced to a patient who might need legal help after being in an accident."
