Seattle Trademark Lawyer Welcomes Vegas Trademark Attorney
2007-09-13 05:50:00 I can’t help but admire the descriptiveness of this blog —&nbs-p;Vegas Trademark Attorney. (As a trademark, its almost as protectable as Seattle Trademark Lawyer.) VTA is in its infancy, on its ninth post. But so far, I’m impressed. Publisher Ryan Gile wrote a long post yesterday about Jon Bon Jovi’s dispute over the Mijovi Company’s attempt to register MIJOVI for soft drinks and energy drinks. I particularly like how frequently Mr. Gile links to the PTO’s TARR database (something I’m sure to emulate), as well as his copious case citations. He’s got another good post about Nokia’s Sept. 4 registration of a sound mark for its default ring tone. If the tune is not already emblazoned in your mind, it’s “a sound comprising a C eighth note, E flat eight[h] note, B flat eighth note, G quarter note, C eighth note and C quarter note.” But, it...

What Is a Trademark? How Does It Differ from a Copyright and a Patent?
2007-09-11 06:55:00 It’s amazing how often people confuse trademarks with copyrights and patents. Not an intellectual property lawyer? Not a lawyer at all? No matter. Here’s your cheat sheet:Trademarks. The federal trademark statute, the Lanham Act, defines a trademark as “any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof [used or intended to be used] to identify and distinguish [a producer’s] goods … from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods….” 15 U.S.C. § 1127. In other words, it’s a source identifier. It’s the means that tells a person the cola he’s drinking comes from the Coca-Cola Company. That way, if he likes what he’s drinking, he’ll know where to go back for more. The owner of a trademark is protected against infringement, which occurs most often when a later-adopted trademark is confusingly similar with an earlier-adopted trademark. In the U...
Ninth Circuit Reviews Arbitration Award Enforcing Trademark License Agreeme
2007-09-10 06:07:00 On Sept. 7, the Ninth Circuit published a decision affirming in part and vacating in part an arbitrator’s award based on a trademark license agreement. The decision underscores how deferential courts are when reviewing arbitration awards, but that such deference is not unlimited.In Comedy Club, Inc. v. Improv West Associates, plaintiffs Comedy Club and Al Copeland Investments, Inc., entered into a Trademark License Agreement that granted Comedy Club an exclusive nationwide license to use Improv West’s trademarks. Thereafter, Comedy Club breached the agreement and sought to protect its interests in the trademarks by filing a declaratory judgment action in the Central District of California. The court ordered the parties to arbitrate pursuant to the agreement’s arbitrat-ion clause. The arbitrator found that Comedy Club was liable for breaching the agreement and entered an injunction enjoining Comedy Club and its affiliates from openi...

Court Finds Fashion Designer Can Use His Name, But Not as a Trademark
2007-09-07 02:14:00 Design house Paul Frank Industries, Inc., brought a trademark infringement action in the Central District of California against its namesake and former designer, Paul Frank Sunich, based on the commercial use of his name. In particular, plaintiff alleged that Mr. Sunich and his companies’ Web sites, www.paulfranksunich-.com, www.chasermerch.com, and www.treestitchdesign.com, and defendants’ sale of t-shirts using Mr. Sunich’s full name, “Paul Frank Sunich,” infringe PFI’s rights in its PAUL FRANK trademark. Plaintiff brought a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin defendants from using the name “Paul Frank” in any commercial context. Defendants responded that Mr. Sunich has an absolute right to use his full name in any context, including in connection with the sale of t-shirts that he designs.On August 21, the court granted the motion in part and denied it in part. On one hand, It found: “Under trade...
Nintendo registers new trademarks in Japan
2007-09-07 00:09:00 Nintendo of Japan seems to have registered a few new trademarks, which makes for some interesting speculation for fans everywhere.Some are just plain strange (like Soma Bringer), while others seem pretty easy to figure out. Could the "Wii Body Controller" be the official name for the Wii Fit balance board? Mii Contest Channel is about as clear as Pikmin ... except we really want the latter and think the former is interesting, but not froth-worthy.Here's the full list: Mii Contest Channel Nintendo Magic Wii Body Controller Mii Audition Wii Handle Pikmin (trademark protection renewed) Soma Bringer We can only assume that Nintendo Magic is the game of the same title that was announced for English-speaking gamers at E3, though that game was known as Magic Taizen in Japan. Does Nintendo make it a practice to trademark all title variations in all regions?Source: Wii Fanboy & NeoGAF Online Games Nintendo trademark Japan Wii Mii audition

Because Your China Trademark DOES Matter
2007-09-05 04:48:00 China Business Law blog has an excellent post up on Anheuser-Busch's recent Chinese court victory trademark infringement lawsuit against a Chinese infringer, obtaining substantial damages and an injunction. The post is entitled, "Anheuser-Busch: How Good Does a Slam Dunk in Chinese Court Feel?" Around April of 2006, Anheuser-Busch (AB) became aware of a Chinese company named Putian Golden Key Company (“PGKCâ€) selling "New Generation Beer" with AB's “Wheat + Sash†graphic in boxes "with Chinese characters saying “American Budweiser International Beer Group, Ltd." PGKC sold this beer in various China provinces and various local branches of China's Bureau of Industrial and Commerce fined four companies for distributing this beer. Since AB had many years earlier registered its Budweiser trademark and its "Wheat + Sash†graphic, AB sued PGKC and these four distributors in the Shanghai First Intermediate People’s Court for trademark infringement, seeking an injunct...

Microsoft To Update AdCenter's Trademark Policy
2007-08-25 12:14:00 A post called Update to management of the Microsoft adCenter trademark policy informs that come September 10, 2007 and Microsoft will update the management of the adCenter trademark policy. "The heart of the trademark policy is unchanged. Microsoft adCenter disallows trademark infringement, and forbids advertisers from bidding on or using trademarked terms in a way that constitutes trademark infringement. Advertisers may not bid on a competitor's trademarked term or use that term in their ad copy. Affiliates and resellers may bid on trademarked terms relevant to the goods, services, or sites that they promote. Going forward, Microsoft adCenter will no longer attempt to mediate affiliate compliance by creating lists of trademark-owner approved advertisers who can bid on trademarked keywords. Support teams will be contacting those trademark owners who have provided affiliate documentation previously to explain this policy update and answer questions. The policy is being up...
What is a trademark anyways? Posted By : Larry Goldberg
2007-08-22 18:10:00 We're not necessarily talking about Elvis' trademark sideburns or Catherine Hepburn's trademark voice, but that's not too far from the path. They're everywhere you look, and yet do you really know what they are? Trademarks are a strange animal and it's necessary that you get to know them if you have business endeavors of any kind. Whether you're making your own trademark or using other trademarks, there's a whole lot to learn. The tax laws can be incredibly complicated to understand, especially for the Small Business Owner like yourself. How can you be expected to run your business AND keep up with all the tax rules and regulations? That's why over the years I've discovered many tax-saving strategies that will reduce your tax bill each and every year. These "strategies" are not difficult to understand, nor are they hard to implement.
It's Final: Leo Stoller's Trademark Assets Sold in Bankruptcy Court
2007-08-21 07:17:00 The Society for the Prevention of Trademark Abuse, LLC, completed its purchase of the trademark assets of Leo Stoller’s bankruptcy estate, the Society announced today.

Marks involved in the purchase include STEALTH, SENTRA, TRILLIUM, DARK STAR, TERMINATOR and others, including all registrations and applications owned by Central Mfg. Co. The Society stated its plan is “to convey the marks others may want/need to clear the way for their applications to proceed, [and] wind up all pending proceedings in a manner consistent with the known and trustworthy evidence.” In other words, to restore business as usual — at least to the state that existed before Mr. Stoller opened for business. Well done!

Is Aiphone the same as iPhone: Apple’s Japanese trademark talks
2007-08-21 01:51:00 Is Aiphone the same as iPhone? A Japanese company believes it is. Largest Japanese intercom maker Aiphone Co. is currently in talks with Apple Inc. about possible trademark violations. ‘’Our company cannot reveal any details of the talks,'’ an Aiphone official said, while an official with Apple Japan Inc. said ‘’We cannot comment on this at this stage.'’ Aiphone Co. owns the Aiphone trademark in Japan and approximately 70 other countries. It needs to be added that the legal status of iPhone trademark in Canada isn’t completely clear either — Comwave Inc., which offers VoIP services under this name, appealed Apple Inc.’s Canadian iPhone trademark application and filed its own trademark application (and since they actively used it to market an existing product the law should actually be on their side). That was several months ago and there were no other news since… However, it’s doubtful that any of these trademark...

Starbucks Trademark Win in 2005 Cleared Way for Its First Store to Open in
2007-08-20 00:56:00 The Seattle Times reports today: “Starbucks plans to open its first store in Russia next month in the Mega Mall north of Moscow, a spokeswoman said. The company’s business partner in Russia, Kuwait-based M.H. Alshaya, said earlier this year that it planned to open Starbucks shops in Moscow and St. Petersburg in August and have 10 stores in Russia by the end of the year. “The company’s entry into Russia was delayed for years by a trademark dispute that was resolved last year.”Here’s some background on the dispute. According to Russian news sources (stories here and here), Starbucks initially registered STARBUCKS as a trademark in 1997 when it began making plans to enter the Russian market. In 2002, however, a company called Press appealed to Rospatent, the Russian trademark office, for rights to the mark on the ground that Starbucks had not used it in the country for more than three years. Rospatent granted its request. Press then&nb...

(STL preview of the event here.) The program took place in Bellevue as part of the groups’ national road show on the issue.Washington’s attorney general Rob McKenna added some local flavor. He characterized Washington as the nation’s most trade-dependent state and said a number of local companies have been damaged by counterfeiting. He went on to describe a recent meeting he had with other state attorneys general that emphasized that counterfeiting g-oes beyond pirated music CDs and software. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer quoted him as saying: “When the chamber representative passed around the table counterfeit automobile brake pads and counterfeit medical supplies and talked about the Federal Aviation Administration’s estimate that so...

Your Trademark, Your Trade

Georgia Court Finds Disguised Bottle Safes Violate PepsiCo's Trademarks
2007-08-02 06:58:00 Burglars take note: in the future, those bottles marked “PEPSI” in the fridge of the house you’re robbing probably contain nothing more than a carbonated drink. No secret stash there.That’s because on July 20, the Northern District of Georgia found that defendant Sahni Enterprises, Inc., and its affiliates, makers of bottle and can safes, infringed and diluted plaintiff PepsiCo, Inc.’s PEPSI, DIET PEPSI, MOUNTAIN DEW, SIERRA MIST and AQUAFINA trademarks. The court made the same finding with respect to defendants’ food canister safes bearing plaintiff’s CHEETOS, DORITOS and FRITOS marks. After the parties stipulated to a preliminary injunction, the court permanently enjoined defendants from manufacturing and selling safes bearing PepsiCo’s marks.The court explained: “The Infringing Safes marketed by Sahni are manufactured by converting genuine PepsiCo bottles, cans and ca...

STL Welcomes New Seattle Trademark and Branding Blog "Beauty Marks"
2007-07-27 03:00:00 The Trademark Blog today put me on to a new Seattle-based trademark and branding blog called “Beauty Marks.” (Geez, scooped in my own back yard!) It’s published by Jessica Levy of the Law Office of Jessica Stone Levy, PLLC, who until recently based her trademark prosecution practice at Preston Gates & Ellis/K&L Gates.Ms. Levy describes her blog as “miscellaneous thoughts about trademarks and branding.” Her inaugural posts discuss how she met her husband (a trademark litigator, no less), using the TM designation, and the basics of trademark law from the perspective of a cosmetics shopper. She expects to “Comment on what I like, what I don’t, what’s trendy and what’s stodgy, what makes sense from a trademark perspective and what makes my hair stand on end.”Sounds like a lot of fun. Welcome to the club!
First U.S. Registrant Offers to Sell MUGGLES Trademark for $1 Million
2007-07-26 03:25:00 I came across an interesting piece — the Ventura County Star reported on July 22 that California native Jim Salzer owns the first U.S. trademark registration for MUGGLES, which he had planned to use in connection with a nightclub to be called “Cafe Muggles.” The nightclub never got off the ground, but Mr. Salzer liked the sound of it so he held onto his registration, which he obtained in 1981. The word “muggles,” of- course, entered the popular lexicon as a word for for people without magical powers beginning in June 1997 when J.K. Rowling published her first “Harry Potter” book.Now, Mr. Salzer wants to sell his MUGGLES mark to Warner Bros., which owns the “Harry Potter” movie and merchandising juggernaut.- His asking price? $1 million. Warner Bros. has refused to bite and now, the article says, Mr. Salzer is keeping a “watchful eye” on its ...

China Trademarks -- Do You Feel Lucky? Do You?
2007-07-14 10:58:00 Our advice to all our clients is to register your trademark in China if before you go there. China is a first to register country and this means that whoever registers the trademark first gets it. Yes, there is an exception for famous trademarks, but unless you are Coca-Cola, it is lunacy to bank on a Chinese court holding your trademark is famous when just going ahead and registering it costs so little. Most firms charge less than $5,000 for this. So even if the Chinese Court rules your trademark is famous, you will almost certainly have spent well over $5,000 in making your case. Ferrari, the famous Italian car manufacturer, just proved my point. China Business Law Blog (which blog I just added to the blogroll) recently posted on Ferrari's having lost out on the horse logo in China. The post is entitled, "Ferrari is Famous, But Is the Horse Too?" The post relates how after more then ten years of legal wrangling (anyone think that cost less than $5,000?), The Beijing 1s...

2007-07-05 04:04:00 On July 3, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Northern District of California’s dismissal of Perfect 10, Inc.’s secondary trademark liability claims against Visa International Service Association and affiliated banks and data processing services. Perfect 10 publishes the magazine “PERFECT 10” and operates the subscription Web site www.perfect10.com, which it claims features “tasteful copyrighted images of the world’s most beautiful natural models.” Perfect 10 claims copyrights in the photographs published in its magazine and on its Web site, federal registration of the PERFECT 10 trademark, and blanket publicity rights for many of the models appearing in the photographs.
