Considering he admits this is the first time he set foot in court, I have mixed feelings as to whether this is good PR. Would you want someone filing court papers on your behalf who has never been to court before? I wouldn't. I hope his cofounder is an attorney.

They need to be good at predicting which lawsuits will be successful, not good at actually winning lawsuits.
