Today's expression is "dot the i's and cross the t's."
This idiom means to be very thorough and meticulous in your work, paying attention to every detail.
In the context of preparing for a trial in a patent infringement action, this expression emphasizes the importance of being thorough in reviewing all documents, evidence, and legal arguments.
<Example in a professional setting>
Before the trial, make sure we dot the i's and cross the t's on our evidence presentation. It's crucial that every patent claim is meticulously examined and clearly supported to strengthen our case.
<an example dialogue between trial attorneys discussing their preparation for a patent infringement trial in a casual setting>
Attorney 1: "Hey, how's the prep going for the upcoming trial?"
Attorney 2: "Pretty intense. We've been going through everything with a fine-tooth comb. I've lost count of how many times we've reviewed the patent claims and the defendant's product specs."
Attorney 1: "Yeah, it's crucial to dot the i's and cross the t's for this one. Any oversight could be costly."
Attorney 2: "Absolutely. We’re double-checking even the smallest details. I feel like we know the patent better than the inventor at this point!"
Attorney 1: "That's the spirit. Better to be over-prepared than caught off guard. Let's grab lunch next week and compare notes?"
Attorney 2: "Sounds good. A fresh pair of eyes might spot something we missed."
