Contributors > James Longacre James Longacre Building Block CLE, LLC jrlpatent@aol.comIn April 1967, Jim Longacre packed all he owned in the back of a 1962 Oldsmobile and headed for Washington DC to attend Georgetown Law School at night and work at Cushman, Darby & Cushman in the daytime as a patent searcher. The decision to go to law school was made mostly because he didn't want to actually work as an electrical engineer. He immediately saw that patent searching was deadly boring and paid poorly so he took the PTO exam a month later, relying on well honed test taking skills and luck. He passed and spent the next four years as an attorney in all but name. A year after he graduated from Georgetown, even managing a brief stint as a law review editor he was made a partner at Cushman where he spent the next 17 years. At first they were good years, but by the middle eighties he was unhappy with the management of Cushman and vice versa. In 1988 he left, just before being tossed, and joined Squire Sanders and Dempsey. Unable to build a real patent department there he started Longacre & White with John White in 1989. The partners made a lot of money and drifted into related businesses. Particularly, they started a bar review course that did very well and was sold to PLI for too much money. The partnership just sort of ended as the partners pursued other interests. On September 11, 2001 Mr. Longacre was in the process of moving to Northern Florida where he now works out of an office next to his home and pool, and overlooking a tidal marsh. |
