My question and answer with an attorney at a conference:

Me: Do you do intellectual property?

Attorney: Yes, we do everything in business except for trademarks and patents.

I’m sure IP goes beyond trademarks and patents, but this answer led me to believe that this guy either didn’t hear my question, or he didn’t know what I was looking for.  Even if I’m “wrong,” I’m the purchaser, and it would be worth his while to respond based on my perceptions of what IP is… don’t you think?
