Ask HN: How do I find a good software/web IP attorney?

6 points| cvm | 15 years ago | reply

I am looking for a patent attorney that could help me with a web application IP issue. So far I've not found an attorney with a much of a software background, yet they claim to be completely qualified. Should I expect to find an attorney with a strong software background? Do you think it matters?

I don't think you have to find someone necessarily with a heavy software background. I would think it's more important to find someone with a lot of IP experience that knows a little about software than vice-versa.
