LEO STOLLER INFRINGEMENT IS EVERYWHERE

CHICAGO--According to law.com Infringement Is Everywhere: Congress Addresses 'Orphaned Works'Congress and the Copyright Office are taking steps to address the growing problem of "orphaned works." A work is orphaned when the copyright owner can't be found, but a person using that work without permission still risks liability down the road. Even innocently posting an old prom photo online could, theoretically, lead to damages. However, to forego the use of orphaned works could diminish our culture of creativity according to Melise Blakeslee of McDermott, Will & Emery.

LEO STOLLER URGES BOARD TO RULE ON MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN GOOGLE PETITION TO CANCEL PROCEEDING

CHICAGO--LEO STOLLER URGES THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD TO RULE ON STOLLER'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN GOOGLE PETITION TO CANCEL PROCEEDING. Stoller filed a Petition to cancel Google's Inc.'s "generic" and/or "descriptive" google trademark which describes the services offered under the said Google Inc. trademark registration. Stoller filed a motion for summary judgment shortly after the filing of the said Petititon to Cancel Proceeding No. 92045778. Google Inc., in response is attempting to file a district court proceeding against Stoller. A ruling by the Board would resolve the matter. There are no grounds for a defendant in a Petition Cancel proceeding and/or Opposition to file a district court proceeding as well known to Google Inc. Due to the fact that Google Inc., is facing a Motion for Summary Judgment at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board was Google Inc.,'s opportunity to find a district court in order to prevent the Board from canceling the "generic" google registration. It should be noted that no district court proceeding has yet been filed. A Ruling on Stoller's motion for summary judgment will resolve all registerability issues as between the parties and the Board is urged to take quick action on Stoller's said motion for summary judgment. The Board can even rule sue sponte and should!

WHY DO LAWYERS WORK??

WASHINGTON --WHY DO LAWYERS WORK? Lawyers practice a difficult and demanding profession. They expect to be well compensated. In thinking about what that means, it can help to consider the basic question "Why do we work?" Jenner & Block managing partner Gregory Gallopoulos says the obvious answer is money, but beyond that are noneconomic reasons, such as idealism, pride and professional identity. As an example, he reminds us of what we stayed up late talking about in college -- and it wasn't which firms have the highest profits per partner. law.com

LEO STOLLER TRADEMARKS ARE BEAUTIFUL

CHICAGO-What kinds of trademarks can be registered?The possibilities are almost limitless. Trademarks may be one or a combination of words, letters, and numerals. They may consist of drawings, symbols, three- dimensional signs such as the shape and packaging of goods, audible signs such as music or vocal sounds, fragrances, or colors used as distinguishing features.In addition to trademarks identifying the commercial source of goods or services, several other categories of marks exist. Collective marks are owned by an association whose members use them to identify themselves with a level of quality and other requirements set by the association. Examples of such associations would be those representing accountants, engineers, or architects. Certification marks are given for compliance with defined standards, but are not confined to any membership. They may be granted to anyone who can certify that the products involved meet certain established standards. The internationally accepted "ISO 9000" quality standards are an example of such widely-recognized certifications.

LEO STOLLER TRADEMARK VALUATION EXPERT

CHICAGO--TRADEMARKS an over view trademark law: an overview
Trademarks are generally distinctive symbols, pictures, or words that sellers affix to distinguish and identify the origin of their products. Trademark status may also be granted to distinctive and unique packaging, color combinations, building designs, product styles, and overall presentations. It is also possible to receive trademark status for identification that is not on its face distinct or unique but which has developed a secondary meaning over time that identifies it with the product or seller. The owner of a trademark has exclusive right to use it on the product it was intended to identify and often on related products. Service-marks receive the same legal protection as trademarks but are meant to distinguish services rather than products.
In the United States trademarks may be protected by both Federal statute under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 - 1127, and states' statutory and/or common laws. Congress enacted the Lanham Act under its Constitutional grant of authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. See U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3. A trademark registered under the Lanham Act has nationwide protection. See § 1115 of the Act. (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/1115.html)
Under the Lanham Act, a seller applies to register a trademark with the Patent and Trademark Office (http://www.uspto.gov/). The mark can already be in use or be one that will be used in the future. See § 1051 of the Act. The Office's regulations pertaining to trademarks are found in Parts 1 - 7 of Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If the trademark is initially, approved by an examiner, it is published in the Official Gazette of the Trademark Office to notify other parties of the pending approval so that it may be opposed. See §§ 1062 - 1063 of the Act. ) An appeals process is available for rejected applications. See §§ 1070 - 1071 of the Act.
Under state common law, trademarks are protected as part of the law of unfair competition. Registration is not required. See Unfair Competition. States' statutory provisions on trademarks differ but most have adopted a version of the Model Trademark Bill (MTB) or the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act (UDTPA) The MTB provides for registration of trademarks while the UDTPA does not. Further protection of trademarks is provided by the Tariff Act of 1930. See 19 U.S.C. § 1526. As reported by Cornell Law School.

PIRATING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM

CHICAGO-PIRATING YOUR INTELLECTUAL property is a world WIDE PROBLEM. Registration is now open for Small Business Seminar scheduled for September 18 in Providence, RI. The conference is part of STOP (Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy) a major federal government effort to protect American businesses from falling victim to intellectual property theft - both domestically and abroad.
In today's global marketplace, an individual or a business halfway around the world can steal American products and branding without the rightful owner even being aware of it. Small businesses are particularly at risk because they may lack the knowledge and expertise to effectively combat such theft. In recognition of this need, USPTO is hosting a series of seminars across the country to help educate American small businesses about the realities of piracy and counterfeiting and steps they can take to protect themselves.
During the seminars, patent, trademark and copyright experts and lawyers from the USPTO will provide small- and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and independent inventors interested in manufacturing or selling their products abroad with specific details and useful tips about protecting and enforcing their intellectual property rights in the United States and around the world.
There is no charge for the conferences, but seating is limited.

LEO STOLLER FILES RESPONSE TO FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT ORDER OF JULY 26, 2006

CHICAGO-LEO STOLLER HAS FILED ITS RESPONSE TO THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT Order of July 26, 2006 regarding whether the Court has jurisdiction to review the Order of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Order dated July 14 sanctioning Stoller for filing an "excessive" amount of extensions to oppose. Stoller maintains that the Federal Circuit has jurisdiction over his appeal under the collateral order doctrine and any similar version of the doctrine as applied to administrative agency orders. Stoller maintained that this comprehensive and all-encompassing sanctions order, is an extreme and unjustified reaction by the Board to Stoller's admittedly numerous extension requests. "There is no statue, rule, or regulation expressly limiting the number of extensions requests to be filed." Stoller is confident that after a full and fair hearing the Board Sanction order will be reversed.

DIRECTOR DUDAS RESPONDS TO FEDERAL CIRCUIT ORDER

WASHINGTON--DIRECTOR DUDAS RESPONDS TO THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT ORDER requiring the Director to provide a jurisdictional statement and a response to Leo Stoller's motion to suspend the sanction order. Stoller was sanctioned by the Board for filing an "excessive" amount of extensions of time to oppose. Stoller appealed to the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit order Director Dudas file a jurisdictional statement. In Director Dudas response the PTO argues that "this Court lacks jurisdiction to review the Sanction Decision and therefore, should dismiss the appeal with prejudice... See In re Stoller, No. MISC 601, 1999 WL 1289088 at *1 (Fed. Cir. Dec. 21, 1999)( unpublished) (AI172-73) Here, the Sanction Decision is not a TTAB decision reaching the merits of trademark proceeding or a Director's decision related to a Section 1058 affidavit or Section 1059 renewal application. Rather, this is a Director's decision sanctioning Stoller pursuant to 37 CFR 10.18(c). Thus, Stoller's appeal does not fall within any of the jurisdictional categories provided in 1071(a). Accordingly, under this Court's precedent, Stoller's appeal should be dismissed with prejudice." Leo Stoller has ten days to file his response.

"TO FRESHMAN, GOOGLE WAS ALWAYS A VERB" ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO-CENTRAL MFG CO., a Delaware corporation has petitioned to cancel Google Inc., Federal Trademark Registration on the grounds that it has become "generic" and/ or "descriptive" of services covered under its Federal Trademark Registration. Google Inc., not being able and/or content to defend the said petition to cancel proceeding filed with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, filed a district court proceeding in Chicago Illinois last week against Central.
There are hundreds of articles that support Central's proposition that the mark "google" can no longer serve as a source identifier and Trademark. Just type "google is a verb in any search engine."
In another article published by Dines Ramde, an Associated Press writer on Wed, August 23, 2006 it stated that "to freshman" that are going to college this year, "Google was always a verb". That for "this generation" Google "has always been a verb".
Central looks forward to defending itself against Google Inc.,'s meritless district court proceeding in Chicago.

GOOGLE DECLARES WAR ON DARTH VADER

CHICAGO--GOOGLE INC., has delcared war on what they believe to be the DARTH VADER of the trademark world, Central Mfg Co., a Delaware Corporation, located in Chicago that is engaged in the trademark licensing and policing of its trademarks for 30 years. Google's Inc.'s trademark Google has become 'generic' for the goods and services covered under its registration and Central Mfg. Co., file a petition to cancel Google Inc., Federal Trademark Registration on the grounds that the Google Inc., trademark is "generic" and/or "descriptive" of the services listed in its trademark Registration. The Google Inc., trademark is and has been listed in several dictionaries defining 'google' to do an internet search. Hundreds of articles have been written on the Google Inc., mark becoming "generic". Just type, 'google is a verb' in any search engine. In order to avoid the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board granting Central's motion for summary judgment in the pending Petition to Cancel Proceeding No. 92045778, Google Inc., has now filed a district court proceeding portraing Central as a the "Darth Vader" of the Trademark World that must be destroyed before "Darth Vader" destroys the Google Inc., "generic" trademark. This is a contest of "good" v. "evil". The only question that must be decided is whether trademark law that states that "generic" words are not trademarkable or whether "Google Inc., can successfuly delay and/or prevent the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board from being able to rule on Central's pending motion for summary judgment. The question is "how much justice can Google afford to buy?"
Central denies all of the allegations in Google Inc.'s complaint and looks forward to defending itself.

GOOGLE FILES DISTRICT COURT ACTION

CHICAGO-GOOGLE FILES DISTRICT COURT ACTION AGAINST CENTRAL MFG CO, et al in retaliation for CENTRAL MFG CO, filing a petition to Cancel and Notice of Opposition against Google Inc., with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Notwithstanding the fact that "the threat or actual filing of an opposition or cancellation proceeding against plaintiff's trademark registration in the Patent and Trademark Office is not, per se, regarded as sufficient to create an "actual controversy" Section 32.52 Threat or filing of PTO inter parties. According to McCarthy when a party "does not threaten, directly or indirectly, to sue for trademark infringement, there is no reasonable apprehension of being sued and no basis for a declaratory judgment. This is so even though the adversary threatened to and did file a petition to cancel with the Trademark Board." Central believes that the Google Inc., complaint is completely without merit and looks forward to vigorously defending itself. The Executive Committee of the Northern District of Illinois recently reviewed Central's entire litigation history and did not find that Central engaged in any abusive litigation practices. Google Inc., is attempting to make hay out of the recent sanction issued by the TTAB but that Order is up on Appeal and should be reversed by the Federal Circuit. Google Inc., also attempts to rely on Decision in the George Brett Case by Judge Coar which is also up on appeal and should be reveresed.

Google Inc., is staring at a Motion for Summary in a Petition to Cancel their "generic" and/or "descriptive" google mark and felt the need to file a District Court Proceeding in the hopes of preventing the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruling on Central's motion for summary judgment and canceling Google Inc., "generic" trademark. Google charaterized Central as a Darth Vader character that must be distroyed, in order to prevent Google's "generic" mark from being removed from the principle register.

GOOGLE INC'S FEDERAL TRADEMARK GOOGLE IS GENERIC

CHICAGO-GOOGLE INC'S FEDERAL TRADEMARK GOOGLE IS GENERIC. There are thousands of articles written on the fact that GOOGLE'S FEDERAL GOOGLE FOR SEARCH ENGINES HAS BECOME GENERIC. Just type in "google is a verb" into the google search engine. Central Mfg Co., a Chicago based trademark licensing and trademark litigation firm ("Central") has filed a petition to cancel Google Inc.'s Federal Trademark GOOGLE for search engines on the grounds that it has become "generic". Recently the Merriam-Webster dictionary added the "google" definition to its dictionary. Central filed a Judicial Notice dated July 10, 2006 with the Board. Google Inc. Has opposed the judicial notice stating that "articles purporting to recite matters pertaining to the Merriam-Webster dictionary are classic hearsay..." The term "google" now refers to the genus of the goods or services offered by GOOGLE INC. There is no question that the term "google" now refers to the genus of GOOGLE INC'S services.
There is no question that "google's mark" has generic significance for the particular services covered under the Google registration that is subject of this Cancellation proceeding. The only argument that Google Inc's attorneys can make under the circumstances is the classic "emperors cloth" argument. "The emperor is wearing cloths". "Google Inc.'s mark is not generic".
If there is anyone who doubts the absolute proof that the mark Google has become generic merely "google" the following words "google is a verb" and watch the thousands of entries supporting Central's grounds for canceling Google Inc.'s "generic" trademark. When the evidence is in and the Trademark Trial and Appeal rule, they will cancel the said google registration on the grounds that it has become "generic" and/or merely discriptive of the services.

However when parties agree to settle it is not uncommon for one party to back out of the agreement, after agreeing to the terms and conditions. This is when Rentamark sue to enforce the settlement agreement. Courts generally favor the plaintiff in these action's and award attorney fees and costs. It is important to send a clear message to parties who believe that they can merely walk away from a settlement agreement after agreeing to the terms and conditions. The message is the cost to walk away from a settlement agreement will cost 5 to 10 times more than what it would have cost to settle on the initial terms and conditions.

Ms. Beresford correctly said that the PTO will not prohibit the use ofwebsites that feature content submitted by members of the public rather than professionals. If Ms. Beresford would have ruled otherwise it would be like saying that our jury system is flawed because we do not have "professional" jurors.

WHY RENTAMARK IS NECESSARY TO YOUR COMPANY

DETROIT--GENERAL MOTORS (GM) ALLOWED IT FAMOUS STINGRAY TRADEMARK TO BECOME DELUDED. GM established use of the famous mark STINGRAY for automobiles. However GM allowed its famous STRINGRAY trademark to lose its distinctive source identifying power by allowing several junior users to usurp GM's famous STINGRAY trademark, a boat company and a bicycle company, adapted GM's STRINGRAY mark. Had GM employed Rentamark's trademark policing services GM would never have lost its famous STRINGRAY trademark rights. Rentamark would have advised GM of its potential loss of rights in International Class 12 goods, by advising GM of the STRINGRAY boat and STRINGRAY bike company's unauthorized use of the STRINGRAY mark.

TTAB ORDERS PETITIONER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY PROCEEDING SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED BASED UPON RES JUDICATA

WASHINGTON--THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD ISSUED AN ORDER REQUESTING THE PETITIONER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY A PROCEEDING SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED BASED UPON A PREVIOUS ADJUDICATION. Rentamark responded that the doctrine of claim preclusion or res judicata does not apply. The prior proceeding did not involve the same parties and/or any party in privity.

BAKER & MCKENZIE GOES AFTER INFRINGERS

CHICAGO--BAKER & McKENZIE sent letters, as reported by law.com to 4,500 ISPS and Web sites, stating that its client has exclusive broadcast rights to the World Cup and warning that its client had exclusive broadcast rights to the World Cup and warning of the perils of unauthorized downloading. The firm claims the strategy was a success, but others disagree, including a blog that poked fun at the firm -- to an audience of 1.75 million readers. Between the protections afforded by the Digital millennium Copyright Act, and the sheer scale of the Internet, was it worth the bad publicity to protect a copyright?
