    <p>Yes, I agree.</p>
    <p>Not only that.  Let's just imagine, I know this is far-fetched,
      but suppose your client had already used Corsearch's services,
      maybe for a trademark clearance.  In such a case, it seems to me
      that Corsearch would be violating a conflict of interest.<br>

            some exception to the UPL rules I’m not aware of?  They
