The Tennessee Supreme Court recently directed Alabama lawyer Larry Wayne Brantley to inform the court within 30 days why the imposition of reciprocal discipline would be unwarranted. Brantley entered into an agreement to resolve disciplinary action brought against him by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regarding his representation of private clients while employed as a federal employee. The USPTO issued a public reprimand and subjected Brantley to a 36-rnonth probationary period.
