Mulling a motion to disqualify Amazon's counsel from litigation accusing the e-commerce giant of infringing MasterObjects Inc.'s search engine patents, U.S. District Judge William Alsup said Wednesday it "looks suspicious" that an Amazon in-house lawyer omitted from his LinkedIn profile a two-year stint at a law firm that represented MasterObjects.

MasterObjects wants a California federal judge to disqualify Amazon's in-house lawyer and its outside counsel in a suit accusing the e-commerce giant of infringing search engine patents, saying the company's staff attorney once worked for the law firm that filed a MasterObjects patent application in the early 2000s.
