Lawyerly Lairs: Patent Litigator Leaves The Pierre, Selling $23 Million Apartment

Patent litigation isn't as lucrative as it used to be, but those who were around for the glory days did very, very well for themselves.

As noted by the Times, the apartment boasts almost 5,000 square feet, four bedrooms and four and a half baths, and all of the amenities of the Pierre Hotel, including maid and concierge service, a fitness center, valet parking, and a round-the-clock doctor on call. There’s a reason the monthly maintenance exceeds $21,000.

Here’s the living room, 30 feet by 15 feet. Perhaps it should be wider, but it’s on a corner and enjoys direct Central Park views, so you can’t complain too much:

This room is the library (not to be confused with the study on the other side of the apartment), which also looks out on Central Park. Note the built-in bookshelves, perfect for holding patent-law treatises, and the painted blue ceiling (which I suspect the new owner will have redone):

Does this apartment have you drooling? Follow me, maybe we can find some napkins in the dining room….
