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 above, some of the rooms could be bigger. I’m not sure which walls are load-bearing, but I’d be tempted to open up the layout a little if I owned this residence.

But don’t feel too bad for this legal eagle and his wife. According to the Times, the Engelbergs have themselves “downsized” to a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath apartment at the the Hampshire House on Central Park South — which they picked up for the bargain-basement price of $12 million.
