Trzaska v. L’Oreal USA — employment — reversal — Ambro

The Third Circuit today ruled in favor of an in-house attorney who alleged that he was fired by L’Oreal for refusing to meet a corporate quota for patent applications (?) by filing applications for unpatentable products. The witty quote that forms the title of this post is from the opinion.

Ambro was joined by Fuentes; Chagares dissented. Arguing counsel were Harold Goodman of Raynes McCarty for the attorney and Christopher Carton of K&L Gates and Eric Savage of New York for L’Oreal.
