China And Hong Kong Trademarks. Think Puerto Rico.
2011-12-30 16:48:00 Just got back from a family vacation in Puerto Rico. While there, I saw a rental car company called "Target." This company had the same logo as the Target stores so common on the U.S. mainland. Well of course that got me to thinking. Is this rental car company infringing on Target (the store's) trade-name and trademark (the logo)? Or is it the case that even though Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, its trademark regime is separate from the United States? My research quickly determined that Puerto Rico's trademark regime is actually separate from that of the United States. In other words, if you want your name or mark trademarked in both the United States and Puerto Rico, you should register it in both places. Presumably, Target rental car beat Target stores to the name and logo in Puerto Rico and is now able to use both legally there. Hong Kong and China are the same way. And Taiwan and Macau too. I am constantly having to explain this to our clients, at least half of w...

Escaping to Puerto Rico and more Escape Fares
2010-05-19 06:41:00 I was in serious need of Vitamin D and took my own advice and took a $220 airfare down to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a long weekend. As a result, I'm sunburnt but happy that I got out of this dreary weather. Mental note: when you're pasty white, use copious amounts of sunscreen. The airfare is still there on United, American and even Airtran. Escape Fares:American Airlines is showing $561 r/t to Honolulu, Hawaii - with United Airlines matching the fare as well. That's not a bad price but it's not a great price either. Honolulu is expensive, but it's also rather fun. What's weird about Hawaii airfare is that it's cheaper in the winter to go there because...

A few photos from our Puerto Rico golf vacation!
2010-03-26 14:30:00 Two golf carts enjoying the day and the scenery at the 12th hole at Palmas Del Mar Golf Club Members of our fivesome (?) on the 12th hole at the exquisite Palmas del Mar Golf Club include (from left to right): Steve Habel, Federico Diner, Stacy Solomon, Barry Solomon and Rob Hayashida On board the exquisite Dinamar Yacht after a great lunch at the Yacht Club at Palmas Del Mar. There were so many great picture opportunities for Bahia Golf and Beach Resort (an ecological wonder) that I have selected a few here and will post the remainder on Flickr. A St. Regis Hotel is currently being built on the property (opening October 2010) and will only stand two stories high with great views and a southern feel! The Gran Melia is a five-star luxury all-suite Resort located in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. Views abound and for those vacationers who rarely see palm trees, you will never want to leave! The pool at Gran Melia PR is one of the largest on the isla de...

Is Trump International Puerto Rico challenging enough for the PGA Tour?
2010-03-17 19:59:00 Golf fans are creatures of habit and are therefore are used to watching a regulation four rounds of tournament golf on the usual Thursday through Sunday without interruption. When that schedule goes awry, viewers tend to scatter and abandon their proclivities for other more regularly scheduled programming. So went the tale of the 2010 Puerto Rico Open. Weather delays forced fans who normally would have been swept up by the drama of "must see" golf television to comfortably burrow into their strato-loungers and follow the WGC-CA Championships where Ernie Els did not disappoint. As golf writers desperately searched for inspiring stories by following veteran John Daly (T24), one overlooked yet newsworthy rookie, Derek Lamely, was surging up the leaderboard. Although Lamely won on the Nationwide Tour in 2009, his name is not yet synonymous with the big draws because it takes time and many attempts to get noticed and some positive press. Although he m/c'd his last three out of four e...
Gran Melia is Puerto Rico's Shining "Five" Star of the Caribbean
2010-03-14 21:27:00 At a cocktail reception held Friday evening in the lobby of Puerto Rico's luxurious Gran Melia Resort, we engaged in conversation with General Manager Hendrick Santos. Barry casually mentioned that the hotel staff always has a smile and maintains a pleasant attitude whenever we have been in their presence. Being reasonably well-travelled within the US and the Caribbean, we noticed this friendly warmth at Gran Melia more so than at other resorts in which we have stayed and believed it important enough to make mention of it. As you can see from the pictures, we were excited to be asked to say a few words about this to the housekeeping staff, to let them know that guests really do see and take mental note of the attitude of the resort in which they stay. There are many beautiful retreats in the world but it is uncommon to find such hospitality as we found here at the Gran Melia in Puerto Rico. Robert Berkowitz, Director of Group Sales, was among the gathering ...
Close to the Action at the Puerto Rico Open
2010-03-13 21:11:00 By looking at the course and grounds of Trump International Golf Course in Puerto Rico, you would never think that there more than a sprinkle has fallen in the past week. Mark Stevens at PGA Tour HQ relayed that a total of 6.6 inches of rain fell on Thursday. Five inches of rain fell on the course between Friday, March 5th and Sunday, March 7th. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week an additional four-tenths of an inch fell. That's a lot of rain and I hear that New York will be suffering while we're here taking in the great weather. In stark contrast to Nueva York, the sun is shining brightly today in Puerto Rico, the Shining Star of the Caribbean, and the "tan" index is great. With only two days left to our stay, I wonder when we will return but a good golfer knows to always remain "in the present". With that in mind I will look only as far forward as to the fiesta in the hospitality center tonight, the theme being "El Yunque". Aside from an...
John Daly, Chris DiMarco among golfers playing the Puerto Rico Open waiting
2010-03-13 21:07:00 Today was supposed to be an early start to Day One at the Puerto Rico Open but Mother Nature did not comply. Early rains and a very wet Trump International golf course delayed the resumption of Round One despite all efforts to make the course playable, including a helicopter to blow dry the fairways. Instead I took an early morning swim in one of the largest pools I have ever seen at the Gran Melia. After un desayuno muy delicioso (it's amazing how you can learn Spanish so quickly here) at the Soleil Cafe, we wandered through the royal gardens, again waiting for word that play would continue but...no luck. The waiting game is more frustrating for the golfers than for the press or even for the fans. While stretching our legs we came across John Daly who was heading over to Trump International Golf Course. Jonathan Margolies was standing at the front desk with us but not to practice as he unfortunately missed the cut this week. On the tram over to Trump GC, ...
Puerto Rico Open: day one dampened but the fun goes on!
2010-03-13 20:58:00 Round one of the Puerto Rico Open turned out to be an early wash with "unplayable conditions". Although Skip Kendall eagled the first hole at Trump International Golf Course, there is sure to be plenty of action in the coming days. Play resumes tomorrow (Friday morning) at 7:15 am with only a 30 percent chance of rain. The golfers will be playing "Preferred lies" which is mentioned in the appendix of the official rules of golf. Briefly stated, a player whose ball is in the fairway would be allowed to improve the lie due to weather conditions. Puerto Rico is a place where you can still have a great time in spite of the weather; a true test of a great vacation destination! For example, shopping for clothes at Trump's Proshop while waiting for the rain to let up? Barry and I also had the opportunity to learn more about the island "experience" as well as new and exciting plans for Puerto Rico while speaking with Jaime A. Lopez Diaz, the Executive Director (Minister) of Tourism for...
Puerto Rico Welcomes Us With Open Arms
2010-03-11 04:39:00 Puerto Rico is abuzz this week for the Puerto Rico Open. Trump International Golf Club, right next door to the Gran Melia, is hosting the PGA Tour event. I hear that Donald Trump is staying somewhere on the premises, probably in one of the luxurious beachside villas. We haven't seen Trump in person yet because, as he was losing to John Daly, we were playing a round of golf at the extraordinary Palmas del Mar. Barry and I have our own suite at the Gran Melia checking out not only the tournament but also taking in the sites and playing golf on some of the wonderful courses nearby. Today, we were invited to Bahia Beach and Golf Club. It is one of the most magnificent, tropical/ocean golf courses you would ever wish to play. Each hole has unsurpassed views everywhere you look. The course is challenging and can also be user-friendly, depending upon your choice of tee-box. We will be updating you throughout the week from the Puerto Rico Open with interesting facts and pictures as we ...
Why the Puerto Rico Open is "Must See TV"
2010-03-06 15:17:00 Both the Puerto Rico Open and the WGC-CA Championships are being played this week but Doral doesn't quite hold the same "mystique" as in previous years. With Tiger Woods opting out of another event on the PGA Tour schedule, fans need excitement and the Puerto Rico Open is an event ready to comply! Here are just a few reasons to tune in to the 2010 Puerto Rico Open this week: 1. This is the only stop on the PGA Tour that lands in Puerto Rico. In 2009, forty-two year-old Michael Bradley landed an 11-foot birdie putt to seal the deal at the 18th hole on Trump International Golf Club. He will be in the field to defend his win. 2. John Daly received a sponsor's exemption. Expect the Lion's clothes to match his colorful spirit. As he said on Twitter, "Changing out grips and Gettin Ready for a great Week at the Puerto Rico Open." 3. Check out some of Latin America's finest players: Rafael Campos, Max Alverio and Erick Morales. The PGA Tour is not all about Tiger Woods, Phil Mickel...

Una oportunidad para Puerto Rico
2008-06-04 22:34:00 La democracia tiene su misterio. A las primarias demócratas celebradas en Puerto Rico, acudió el 16%, unos 380 mil electores de los 2.3 millones inscritos. La abstención alcanzó el 85%. Sin embargo la atención no se centra en el mensaje abstencionista de la mayoría del electorado puertorriqueño, sino en la pírrica victoria de la senadora Hillary Clinton sobre su competidor Barack Obama. El régimen de Puerto Rico es la forma más sofisticada de dominación colonial que existe en el mundo. Durante más de medio siglo Washington manipuló la Constitución norteamericana y la Carta de la ONU para dotar a la isla caribeña de un gobierno ?republicano?, y un ?Estado de Derecho?, sin soberanía ni autodeterminación. En 1917, mediante la Ley Jones, los isleños se acostaron puertorriqueños y despertaron norteamericanos de segunda categoría. El ?súbdito? puertorriqueño puede participar en las primarias, pero no puede votar por el candidato presidencial. Sin embargo, está obligado al reclutamiento...
