Artromick International, Inc. v. Drustar, Inc.

OPINION AND ORDER

TERENCE P. KEMP, United States Magistrate Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

This is a patent and service mark case which also includes various state law claims and counterclaims. It was filed more than four years ago and, as evidenced by the size of the court’s file (which contains 106 separate filings to date, not including depositions), has been actively litigated. For most of that time, Drustar, Inc., one of the defendants, was represented by Kevin R. McDermott and other attorneys from the law firm of Murphy, Young and Smith or its subsequent merger partner, Squire, Sanders and Dempsey.
