Science and the Court: Let’s Get Educated

November 9, 2017 Lawrence Husick Intellectual Property, Litigation

In the recent argument before the US Supreme Court about gerrymandering, Gill v. Whitford, a mathematical formula was presented to the judges that requires adding together two numbers (“wasted” vote totals) and dividing the sum by a third number (the total number of votes cast.) This formula is called the “Efficiency Gap” and lawyers told the justices […]

Thumbnail Images – Infringement or Fair Use?

November 2, 2017 Adam Garson Copyright

A few years ago, at the behest of some photographers, we wrote about whether uploading images to Flickr.com or Instagram was equivalent to “publication” under the Copyright Act. We concluded that it is. Another “photographic” issue has arisen in our practice, whether thumbnail images posted on a website or on an e-mail, could be construed as permissible “fair use” […]

We’re Number 10! We’re Number 10!

October 20, 2017 Robert Yarbrough Patent

Each year for the last five years the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has published a massive report on the state of global intellectual property protection. The report is, frankly, staggering in its ambition. It provides a report card for IP protection for forty-five countries around the world, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. The report gives us […]

If you are a regular reader of our newsletter, you may recall that in 2014 we wrote about a copyright case involving Mike Tyson’s Maori-inspired facial tattoo.

Ask Dr. Copyright – Lawyers Must Learn Cybersecurity

October 6, 2017 Lawrence Husick Ask Dr. Copyright

Dear Doc: I’m an attorney, and like most other lawyers, I went to law school because just the thought of taking organic chemistry in college gave me the dry heaves. Now the state Supreme Court has added a new rule that all lawyers have to follow. That rule says, “To maintain the requisite knowledge and […]

Ask Dr. Copyright about What is Intellectual Property

September 22, 2017 Lawrence Husick Intellectual Property

Dear Doc: At times, you write about copyrights. At other times, you write about patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other legal mumbo-jumbo. I’m confused. What’s all of that got to do with intellectual property? Signed, Inquiring Client Dear Inqy: Back in the dark ages, when the Doc passed the bar, things were pretty clear. […]

Is the USPTO Manipulating Inter Partes Review?

September 15, 2017 Robert Yarbrough Patent

The answer is ‘yes.’ But why should we care? “Inter Partes Review” or “IPR” is a recent process by which a person infringing a patent can challenge the patent before a panel of USPTO employees. The USPTO employees are members of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The person challenging the patent will present […]

Doing Business Abroad? Be Prepared!

September 8, 2017 Adam Garson Intellectual Property

Many small to medium size businesses go to great pains to protect their intellectual property under United States law. It makes sense given that they, typically, do not sell their goods and services beyond our national frontier. So they register trademarks and patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), register copyrights with […]

When Will a Court Order a Patent Infringer to Stop Infringing?

August 18, 2017 Robert Yarbrough Patent

Court Oder to Stop a Patent Infringer If an infringer copies your patented invention, a judge should make them stop, right? Not necessarily. An order from a judge directing someone to do or not do something (such as to stop infringing your patent) is called an ‘injunction.’ Not too long ago, if a federal judge […]

Ask Dr. Copyright about Postage Stamps, Public Artworks and Copyright Infringement

Postage Stamps, Public Artworks and Copyright Infringement Dear Doc: I’ve heard that when the Post Office makes a mistake in printing a stamp, they can really increase in value. I’ve also heard that the USPS made a whopper of a mistake that is headed for court soon. What can you tell me? Signed, Phil […]
