Last Week Wasn't Even the First Time Niro Scavone Sued Fish & Richardson

Interestingly, while representing patent licensing entity Solaia, Niro Scavone also sued Fish & Richardson for soliciting manufacturers not to honor Solaia's patent, according to this article from two years ago.

Update: Joe Mullin of the Daily Journal has another story on Scott Harris today (another story, which I unfortunately cannot link to because it's for subscribers only). Unlike me, he was actually able to interview Ray Niro, who says that Scott Harris sold his patents to "J. Beauregard Parker, a Florida attorney and investor, [who] acquires, licenses, and enforces patents." So now we know who James B. Parker is. All I could find on the internet about "Beau" Parker is that he took the New York bar and passed in 1999, and now appears on the active roster of the Florida bar. He indeed has a law office in Boca Raton. What I don't know is what's on everyone's mind: from where did Parker materialize? Did he know Niro already? Was he somehow connected to Harris, from way back?
