And since you're the one who screwed me,

I'd say you owe me one.

Technically, he screwed his wife.

Hey, Legal Eagles, it's time to think like a lawyer.

You asked for it, so more analysis of suits.

Today we are covering the second episode in the first season.

I think I will keep going with the first season,

but if there are specific episodes later on in this series that are especially ripe for legal analysis,

please let me know and maybe I'll jump ahead.

As always, of course, please subscribe and comment in the form of an objection,

which I will either sustain or overrule.

And of course, stick around until the end of this video where I give Suits episode two a grade for legal realism.

So, without further ado, let's dig in to the second episode of Suits.

Come on, what do you say,

we go five out of nine?

You can keep abusing me?

No, thank you, I'm done.

Oh, come on, I'll spot you three.

Mid-time's over, Wyatt, they're here.

They're here?

Get set up in the conference room.

Yeah, no, I'll just, uh...

Get set up in the conference room.

I have never seen a law office that has a game room like that.

Even in New York where law offices for big firms can be pretty nice,

they don't really look anything like the kind of Silicon Valley startup offices that you see often on TV,

so this is not a particularly realistic depiction of what a law firm looks like.

Wait, wait, where do you think you're going? into the room with the people.

Wrong, that's the adult table in there and you haven't earned the privilege yet.

I played air hockey with him.

You need to go back to the office and file a patent for the phone.

A patent?

I don't know how to file a patent.

What?

Figure it out.

Can't we do that after?

No. So that would be crazy to wait to file a patent for this technology that you're trying to get funding for.

Effectively what's happening here is that they're going to publish the technology

that they want these people to invest in before they have protected it.

We are only about a minute and a half into this episode

and this is already malpractice that would probably get these guys disbarred.

On top of that, this meeting is only gonna last a couple of hours

and it's always a good idea to make sure your entire

legal team is up to date with all the information that's going back and forth.

So if this is a big investment deal,

Mike should be in there to learn the facts on the ground and he should have filed his patent months,

if not years, ahead of this meeting.

This is crazy.

Okay, have you ever filed a patent before?

I just got back from this meeting with Harvey and he wants me to file this patent,

but I have no idea what that paperwork looks like.

So, if I have any help in this arena,

it would be with me.

Isn't Mike supposed to be a genius of the law?

Isn't that why they hired him?

He's like the greatest legal mind of his generation,

even though he doesn't have a law degree,

and yet he's constantly going back to his paralegal for information about the most basic things that lawyers do?

I sense some inconsistencies in this show and the writing so far.

Mike Ross, allow me to introduce the Bainbridge briefs. Which stack?

All of them.

Wait a minute, are these all?

Still printing?

Yeah, I think it was about a half hour.

Oh, it's six printers, 23 pages a minute,

30 minutes, that's 4,140 pages.

Plus all of this, which means the next time you negotiate a deal,

I would suggest to get your facts straight.

In reality, if you have gone to the printer with all of your briefs,

all of those briefs have been proofed probably a dozen times by 10 different people in a big law firm like this.

You would never go to the trouble of printing out thousands

and thousands of pages of documents unless you were 100% certain

that all of those documents were ready to be filed with the court.

But what is accurate here and is kind of amusing is the way that they bind all of these documents.

It's called velobinding.

It's those sort of plastic jaws that you open up,

you have a special machine that opens them up

and then you place the briefs in them and then you close them up on top of them.

That is, for certain courts,

exactly how you have to submit your briefs.

It's a real pain in the butt.

So at least that attention to detail is fairly accurate.

Please tell me that you filed that.

Patent?

No, not yet.

What?

I gave it to you yesterday.

Same time I gave you my Bainbridge briefs.

Which you haven't finished.

I was here all night and I barely got through half.

I was on hold for almost 11 minutes before I gave up on your patent.

So, what's your point?

All right, let's talk a little bit about what it means to file a patent.

The paperwork to file a patent is not particularly complex.

There are forms that you can use.

It's not that hard.

The problem is that filing for a patent is not just filing for a patent.

It's all the work that goes into filing for the patent before you do it.

100

If there is prior art,

101

meaning that there is someone who filed a similar patent before yours or that your idea has already been taken somewhere else,

102

then your patent will be invalid.

103

So when you go to a law firm and ask that they file a patent on your behalf,

104

you're not just asking for them to file the actual physical paperwork for the patent.

105

What you're asking them to do is hundreds of hours of work where attorneys will cull through the database

106

that contains all of the other prior applications,

107

some of which have been denied,

108

some of which have been approved,

109

and they're looking for similar things that might invalidate your own patent.

110

And in fact, if you're following politics,

111

you might know that our acting attorney general,

112

Matt Whitaker, was involved with a company called Worldwide Marketing,

113

which was an infamous patent scam

114

that was known for filing patents without doing the legwork to find out if there was prior art.

115

So a lot of people who paid tens of thousands of

116

dollars to this company in order to get patents approved found

117

that their patents were actually invalidated because this company wasn't doing a prior art search.

118

So it's crazy, number one,

119

that they haven't filed a patent for this thing before they've gone to investors.

120

And number two, it's crazy that they think it's just a simple matter of filing for the patent itself,

121

when in fact it's the hundreds if not thousands of hours it takes for the legwork before you file for that patent.

122

You wanted to see me?

123

See you.

124

I look for your work on the Bainbridge briefs.

125

Spectacular.

126

It's just proofing.

127

How can proofing something be spectacular?

128

What's up?

129

I just heard from Wyatt.

130

He got a response from the patent office.

131

You got a response back from the patent office a day after you filed your patent?

132

That does not happen. And?

133

It's been denied.

134

What?

135

Evidently, there was a similar claim.

136

Wait, what do you mean?

137

Somebody beat us to it?

138

No, someone beat you to it.

139

They filed less than 24 hours ago,

140

which means you filed a day later than you said you would.

141

Oh my God.

142

Well, yeah, that's why you file for a patent months,

143

if not years, before you start getting investments from outside people.

144

That's the problem with going to investors before you've gotten the patent.

145

This whole episode is so stupid.

146

What's gonna happen now?

147

I suggest you get on the phone,

148

call the patent office, and find out who beat us to it.

149

Then you're gonna have Donna find any judge who will listen

150

so we can get an injunction and stop whoever it is from launching their product first.

151

Okay.

152

An injunction on what grounds?

153

It's true that sometimes you can seek the extraordinary relief from a court,

154

an injunction, which is basically a court order that prevents someone from doing something or it forces them to do something.

155

But you have to have legal grounds to do it.

156

And the fact that someone filed a patent based on the information

157

that you provided to them is not grounds for an injunction,

158

unless there was some sort of non-disclosure agreement at the investors meeting,

159

but that seems relatively unlikely.

160

We'll see.

161

Not a good legal tactic so far.

162

Hey, Harvey.

163

Did you tell him it was me?

164

Why would I do that?

165

I'm responsible for you.

166

It was me.

167

Yeah.

168

And that would be true whether Mike was actually an attorney or not,

169

which he is not in this case.

170

Harvey is the lead attorney.

171

He's the one that's signing the papers most likely,

172

and so it's his neck on the line.

173

Also, by the way, it was his decision not to file for a patent until after he met with investors.

174

That is malpractice.

175

He'd get totally disbarred for that.

176

Did you not see the sign outside?

177

Just putting it away, Your Honor.

178

It should already be in your pocket,

179

but you were running late,

180

so perhaps that's why it wasn't.

181

Let the record show the counsel is fined $1,000 for failing to follow the poster rules of the court.

182

Your Honor, I didn't mean to.

183

And for mouthing off.

184

Mouthing off?

185

Yeah, so that's a bit extreme,

186

but I have seen judges throw attorneys out of their courtroom for cell phones whose ringers go off.

187

I've never seen a judge chastise counsel for just displaying a cell phone,

188

that's not making any noise,

189

but if the rules of the court say that you can't have a cell phone in that courtroom,

190

then you can't have a cell phone in that courtroom.

191

The judge gets to decide what goes on in his or her court.

192

And there are plenty of courts that don't even let you take a cell phone into the building itself.

193

That is the case with a lot of the federal courthouses in Virginia and Washington DC where I practice.

194

So you really have to be careful and know the rules of the court before you head into the courthouse.

195

Request an item.

196

Court adjourned for the morning.

197

Better luck next time, Harvey.

198

From now on, I want him when I go against you.

199

Your Honor, I have- Send him in.

200

Oh no, no, no, no,

201

no. You do not get to have a private meeting with the judge without opposing counsel present.

202

This is an ex parte communication.

203

This is totally improper, even though the judge has already denied this request.

204

There might be an appeal,

205

there might be other issues in this particular case.

206

This is totally improper to meet with one side and not the other.

207

This should never happen.

208

I could have you brought up a review for talking to me like that.

209

Then we can get it all on record.

210

Get what?

211

Whatever it is that you seem to have against me for no apparent reason,

212

I have a solid argument for any reasonable judge to grant my injunction.

213

So solid, it begs the question,

214

why do you have it in for me?

215

And I don't even know your first name.

216

Really?

217

My wife never mentioned it?

218

Your wife?

219

The woman you had an affair with last month?

220

Ah, okay, so that is what we call a classic conflict of interest.

221

In California, what you would do is file 170.6,

222

which is a request for the judge to recuse themselves.

223

There is no possible way that this judge gets to preside over this particular case when he has a huge bias problem.

224

Now that Harvey knows this information,

225

he absolutely should bring this judge up on review.

226

The damage has already been done though.

227

The judge has issued his ruling,

228

so he can't back out now.

229

There is not going to be a good outcome for this judge regardless of what unscrupulous conduct Harvey has engaged in here.

230

This is not good.

231

Thank God, he's terrible at tennis.

232

Both terrible at tennis.

233

My earlier ruling wasn't clear enough for you?

234

Crystal, but I didn't want you to suffer for it.

235

You see, if you don't sign my injunction,

236

there's going to be a lawsuit.

237

And when the next judge sees all the facts,

238

he's going to overturn your ruling.

239

You may be right.

240

But by then your clients will have dumped you.

241

You may be right, but that sterling reputation that you value so highly, down the tubes.

242

Oh boy, okay, so this is called blackmail.

243

This is incredibly unethical, not to mention this is yet another ex parte communication,

244

which is totally improper.

245

Man, I mean, at this point Harvey's gonna get disbarred.

246

The judge might be disbarred and removed from the bench if this ever comes to light.

247

This is violating your oath as an attorney.

248

You file for a divorce?

249

Soon enough?

250

Perhaps we could discuss a little quid pro quo before I do.

251

I'm listening.

252

You sign a document that says you slept with my wife,

253

I'll give you your injunction.

254

Why would you want me to do that?

255

To prevent her from taking me for half of everything I own.

256

So what you're saying is,

257

you'd like to blackmail me.

258

I'm saying we could both benefit.

259

You're blackmailing each other.

260

He just came in there and tried to blackmail the judge into giving him a verdict that he wanted,

261

and now the judge is trying to blackmail him right back.

262

I mean, these two deserve each other.

263

And since you're the one who screwed me,

264

I'd say you owe me one.

265

Technically, he screwed his wife.

266

And he did the snapping thing,

267

and Gregory- Look at me.

268

You're I.

269

Get out.

270

No, that is not a good sign.

271

Look, this is not my fault, all right?

272

Lewis made me do it.

273

Lewis did, right.

274

He put a gun to your head and made you smoke pot.

275

Yeah, he did.

276

He pulled out the drug test,

277

which I failed, by the way,

278

and then he told me that if I didn't smoke pot to help him land this new client,

279

that he'd fire me.

280

It's not so different than asking someone out for drinks, is it?

281

You and I had a deal.

282

I'm sorry.

283

And if next time Lewis asks you to do something that I told you not to do, what then?

284

I told you that I did not have a choice.

285

Oh, because he had a gun to your head.

286

Yes!

287

And what are your choices if someone puts a gun to your head?

288

What are you talking about?

289

You do what they say or they shoot you.

290

Wrong.

291

You take the gun, or you pull out a bigger one,

292

or you call their bluff,

293

or you do any one of 146 other things.

294

This is a really interesting situation.

295

I think that Lewis might be liable for conspiracy to engage in illegal drug consumption.

296

Obviously, Mike is guilty of having consumed an illicit substance in New York it's still illegal to consume marijuana,

297

but he was induced to do so by Lewis.

298

They engaged in an agreement for him to engage in this particular action for the gain of both of those individuals.

299

So I think that given that there is an agreement,

300

there is an overt act to further the ends of the conspiracy here,

301

I think Lewis may in fact also be guilty of the object of the conspiracy itself

302

so Louis is as culpable as Mike for engaging in smoking marijuana.

303

Interesting legal situation.

304

Do you know how long it was before I got to sit at the adult table?

305

It was when I brought in my first client,

306

which I don't recall you having done it.

307

And when you screwed up that patent and Wyatt went apeshit on me,

308

I didn't put that on you,

309

I took it on myself.

310

I mean, you both royally screwed up that patent.

311

That's not just Mike.

312

Louis told me what you did at the club.

313

I bet he didn't tell you the whole story.

314

He told me enough to impress me.

315

He landed the client.

316

New business is hard.

317

People will promise you the world,

318

but until they sign that engagement letter, means nothing.

319

Now, I don't know what you told Tom Keller,

320

but bringing a client in at your age,

321

that reminds me of Harvey.

322

That's true.

323

It is very unusual for junior associates to bring in new clients,

324

especially potentially a summer associate like Mike.

325

It's unclear to me whether he's a summer associate or a junior associate.

326

He was interviewed as a summer associate,

327

which is like an internship,

328

but he is acting like a junior associate.

329

Writers didn't quite get that one right.

330

At any rate, it is incredibly unusual for a first year junior associate to bring in a client of any kind,

331

and that is the way that you get promoted almost immediately.

332

What are you showing us?

333

Is this a website?

334

Available at the SunTech domain name.

335

All the design plans and calculations have been uploaded.

336

Is this online now? Can be.

337

Which means the whole world will have access to my designs.

338

There'll be ten knockoffs of that phone before you can catch a cab back to your headquarters.

339

We could file an injunction.

340

Not before tomorrow and once that technology is out there.

341

Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle.

342

Well then we'll sue.

343

But my client won't have any money.

344

What he will have is credit for the initial design,

345

which after he incorporates under a different name,

346

will be worth a hell of a lot more money than the $20 million that you're offering.

347

Yeah, except that if the other side's patent is valid,

348

then they can sue anyone who uses those designs and builds the prototype without their permission.

349

That's the point of the patent protection.

350

And they would probably be able to sue this poor gentleman out of existence for a whole raft of things,

351

including intentional interference with contract,

352

disclosure of trade secrets, and still,

353

at the end of the day,

354

these nefarious guys on the other side still have their patent

355

because Harvey and Mike didn't file their patent when they should have.

356

So, yeah, this is probably yet another malpractice and disbarment trap.

357

What is this?

358

It's a copy of the Judicial Conduct Codes.

359

A friend of mine works at the Attorney General's office who gave it to me.

360

We had a nice chat about you.

361

I told him if you were willing to blackmail someone once,

362

chances are you'd done it before.

363

He's very anxious to meet you.

364

You think you can get away with screwing my wife and then have me investigated?

365

You actually have it the wrong way around.

366

The only thing I've done so far is have you investigated.

367

What?

368

I never actually slept with Lauren,

369

but I knew you'd never believe me,

370

so I kept my mouth shut.

371

But now that she's getting a divorce,

372

my policy no longer applies.

373

And of course, she's free to date whoever she pleases.

374

And she pleases me.

375

Enjoy your evening, Donald.

376

No honor among thieves.

377

The judge should have gotten him to sign an affidavit at the same time that he issued his ruling,

378

if he really was gonna follow through with the blackmail here.

379

That was just poor lawyering on the judge's part.

380

All right, so now it's time to give Suits episode two a grade for legal realism.

381

There was some accurate discussion of what it takes to file for a patent,

382

but also a complete disregard for all of the legwork that goes into it,

383

and of course, all of the attorneys in this episode would have been disbarred many,

384

many times over.

385

Last time around, I gave Suits a B minus.

386

I'm afraid this episode is slightly less realistic,

387

so I'm going to have to downgrade it to a C plus.

388

Suits is not exactly the most realistic show out there.

389

Harvey and Mike seem to know nothing about the law,

390

but if you're looking for the best documentaries and non-fiction movies that exist,

391

you need to check out CuriosityStream.

392

For example, I'm watching David Starkey's documentary on the Magna Carta,

393

which explains how the 1215 Charter made everyone subject to the rule of law and became the foundation of the US Constitution.

394

It's the same rule of law that Mike and Harvey disregard every single episode.

395

Legal Eagles get a free account for 30 days by clicking the link below,

396

or using the promo code LegalEagle.

397

So a few days on CuriosityStream and you'll know more about the law than Harvey and Mike put together.

398

So check out the link below,

399

start learning about the real world,

400

not the fictional world of Suits.

401

And until next time, I'll see you in court.
