false 3509481 1 <p>Forced out of his high-powered Manhattan law firm and stuck in a dead-end solo practice, Michael Seeley, the tough-but-wounded hero of <i>Errors and Omissions</i>, cannot say no when his estranged brother, Leonard, head of research at upstart biotech Vaxtek, Inc., flies in from California to beg him to take over the company&#8217;s lawsuit for patent infringement of its pathbreaking AIDS vaccine after the sudden death of the lead trial lawyer. The financial and moral stakes of the case are staggering, and Seeley suspects that murder cannot be ruled out as a hardball litigation tactic of big-pharma adversary St. Gall Laboratories. <br><br>As Seeley travels between San Francisco and Silicon Valley to prepare for trial, dark facts surface concerning the vaccine&#8217;s discovery by Vaxtek scientist Alan Steinhardt and its alleged theft by St. Gall researcher Lily Warren. Ethical quandaries deepen into mortal danger as the trial, under the stern prodding of federal judge Ellen Farnsworth, rushes to its unexpected end. A timely and fascinating look at how the law operates at its most arcane yet financially consequential, <i>A Patent Lie </i>is further evidence that Paul Goldstein is an emerging master of the legal thriller.</p> 3551164 17 6 2008 A Patent Lie total:35|5:0|4:8|3:17|2:6|1:4| 35 99 76 12 2 0 false false Mon Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 08:45:20 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 08:46:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 17:34:21 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 17:39:17 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 18 10:36:13 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 10:48:29 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Wed May 06 11:07:44 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 11:07:57 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Feb 02 10:55:23 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:55:31 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 07:13:40 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 20:05:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Tue Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 08:12:08 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 11:38:53 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Sep 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 17:02:21 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 17:59:39 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 12:18:10 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 12:22:10 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jan 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jun 21 18:06:08 -0700 2008 Fri Jan 09 18:43:36 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Feb 05 11:17:51 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 11:36:26 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 11:17:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 17 09:22:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 09:23:42 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 12:28:52 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 12:28:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 04 12:11:51 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 12:11:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 06:10:27 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 06:10:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 14:36:28 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 14:36:28 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 25 06:49:25 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 12:42:16 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 06:49:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 19:13:37 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 19:13:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 07 16:10:40 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 16:10:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 22 17:30:42 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 17:30:42 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3509481
