Exclusive: Key patent lawyer Richard Lutton to leave Apple
Apple Inc's chief patent counsel is leaving the company, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The Apple Inc. logo is seen through raindrops on a window outside of the New York City flagship Apple store in New York, January 18, 2011.
Richard "Chip" Lutton Jr. manages the iPad and iPod maker's patent portfolio. He is planning to depart the company in the near future, perhaps in the next month, the source said.
BJ Watrous, a former deputy general counsel from Hewlett-Packard, is now chief IP counsel at Apple, according to Watrous's LinkedIn Web page.
