We (J Mac and Dr. K) have finally gotten settled, and we are so pleased with the intellectual property team Stites has assembled in Tennessee. We miss our old friends and the great attorneys at Waller, and we wish them well as they focus on corporate healthcare takeovers and corporate finance!

In the meantime, we've been geeking out with our new nerdy friends and their love of technology, patents, trademarks and copyrights. We thought you might geek out a little too when you see this team right here in Nashville and Memphis, so we want you to get to know them all with us!
