If you need to know more (Score 5)

If you know of an appropriate application, but don't know enough about this case to commit to disclosure, and have questions that I'm not allowed to answer (is the case really important to my employer? who is suing whom? is this person really who she says she is? etc.) then I can ask the lawyers to call you. I would think that it would be in the lawyers' best interest to answer your questions if doing so would give them another compelling example of prior art, especially if your example was in wide use.
