Alcoa Outsources IP to Eckert
Weird, in one sense -- many firms seem to be scaling back their IP these days, because of profitability concerns (preferring to focus on IP litigation), and Eckert seems to be headed in the other direction. On the other hand, perhaps not so weird -- Alcoa seems to like this "outsourcing" model. It did the same thing a number of years ago with litigation, which is how LeBeouf Lamb's Pittsburgh office started. And perhaps Eckert views this as an opportunity to position itself to do Alcoa's IP litigation.
