As far as the NY attorney database shows, there is only one licensed attorney with that name, and he works for a bank, and so likely does not deal with IP law. Plus, the fact that a home address is used on the letterhead suggest that he may have written it as a favor to a friend.

Although admittedly, an attorney practicing in a area that isn't his area of expertise is not much better (and maybe worse).

Interestingly, most of the letter seems to have been taken from [1] and [2]. Yes, it's copyright infringement. No, most lawyers don't care if copyright of their legal documents have been infringed.

Do lawyers face any repercussions for representing frivolous cases that are used as an abusive tactic?
