Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

I am not licensed in NY therefore I can only speak in general terms. He basically has said that he does not want to represent you. However, based on the rules of professional responsibility he cannot represent the other party in the case. He in essence is "tainted" by the information that you gave him.

It could mean there is a conflict of interest with the proposed defendant, or it could mean that for some other reason they do not wish to represent you in the litigation you are proposing.

We are located very close to you and have substantial experience handling various types of litigation. Obviously, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
