ABOUT KPLR
The practice
KPLR-IP Law, LLC is an intellectual property and business law practice working with engineering companies, manufacturers, founders, and creative professionals.
Most firms treat IP as a filing function. We treat it as an asset problem. The question is rarely “can we patent this” and usually “what do we actually own, what is worth protecting, and what happens if the person who built it leaves.” That is the work: finding what a business already owns, documenting it before anyone needs it, and building the agreements and policies that hold up when they are tested.
Our background
The practice is built on two decades of engineering work before law. Our counsel holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering, is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and is admitted in Florida, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
That background is the reason clients come to us. Your technology is evaluated by a practice that understands both the claim language and the machine it describes, and your manufacturing agreement is reviewed by people who have been on the other side of the purchase order.
What we do
Patent strategy and portfolio management. Deciding what is protectable, what is worth the spend, and what a competitor can design around, before you file rather than after.
Trademark and copyright. Clearance, registration, portfolio management, licensing, and enforcement, whether you are securing a new brand or shutting down someone trading on one you built.
IP audits, invention harvesting, and training. Systematic work to surface what a company already owns and lock it down, including employee training and departure protocols.
Trade secrets and information governance. The agreements, policies, and risk assessments that keep an unpatented advantage legally defensible.
Technology transactions and commercial work. Manufacturing agreements, statements of work, tooling and quality agreements, licensing, and the commercial terms that decide who carries the risk.
IP litigation and disputes. Strategic counsel across patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and licensing disputes. Not every fight is worth having, and we will tell you which one this is.
How we work
We act as an extension of your management team and your in-house counsel rather than as outside counsel at arm’s length. Offices in Washington DC, Seattle, and Tampa.
ABOUT RECALL ENGINE
What it is
Recall Engine is a study application for the Multistate Bar Examination, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, and the first and second year law school courses those exams are built on. It contains 3,450 original multiple choice questions across twenty subjects.
Every card carries eleven authored fields: the question, the correct answer, three distractors, a separate explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, a full written explanation, a one line takeaway, and an original memory hook. None of it is a term and definition flashcard.
Why it exists
It started as one lawyer’s own bar preparation. Every time a practice question came back wrong, the rule that would have answered it got written down. After four bar examinations, those rule statements had become a question bank, and the question bank became an application.
It was used for the Florida bar examination without a commercial review course, and for the patent bar.
What makes it different
Timed to the real exam. The MBE allows 108 seconds a question. Each card runs a clock that stays green to that mark and turns red past it, and every session reports your average, fastest, and slowest. Knowing the law and running out of time are different problems, and most products cannot tell you which one you have.
It explains your answer, not just the right one. Pick C and the app tells you why C is wrong, specifically, before it tells you anything else.
Spaced repetition. A card you miss returns within the same session and again the next day. A card you know moves out to three days, then a week, then up to three weeks. The schedule is the product, not the card count.
Drill one doctrine. More than 380 sub-topics, so you can work hearsay, or personal jurisdiction, or the Erie line, rather than a whole subject at a time. That is what makes it useful during a course and not only after one.
Nothing leaves your phone. No account, no sign in, no analytics, no tracking. All 3,450 questions ship inside the application and it runs in airplane mode. There is no user data for anyone to be responsible for.
Original content. Every question, explanation, and memory hook was written for this deck. No licensed or released examination questions appear in it.
Availability
Recall Engine is coming to the Apple App Store. A portion of the question bank is free, and the remainder is available on a monthly or annual subscription sold through the App Store.
An important distinction
Recall Engine is an educational product, not a legal service. Using it does not make you a client of KPLR-IP Law, LLC and creates no attorney-client relationship. The content is general educational material about legal concepts, written to the majority rules tested on a national examination rather than the law of any particular state. It is a study aid, not legal authority.
Recall Engine is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners or any board of bar examiners.
