An owner of a “famous and distinctive” mark is entitled to an injunction against an infringer if the user of the mark is “likely to cause dilution of the famous mark”. Starbucks Corp v. Wolfe’s Borough Coffee Inc., 477 F3d 765,766 (2d Cir. 2007).
The question of whether Chapel and Chapel No.13 are famous will probably be undisputed. Nonetheless, if this is contested by the defendant, as per the facts Chapel and Chapel No. 13 will most likely be held to be famous as both marks are federally registered marks, thus will have nationwide protection of its mark, moreover, this also establishes Chapel's priority over its marks. Additionally, Chapel spent $2 million last year to advertise Chapel No. 13 in the US market through fashion magazines and via the Internet earning $4 billion in revenue worldwide. In Louis Vuitton S.A. v Haute Diggty Dog, LLC, 507 F.3d 252, 257 (4th Cir. 2007), Louis Vuitton (LV) (established as a famous mark) spent approximately $2 million for its multicolor designs moreover like Chapel, it sold its products exclusively to high end retailers thus attracting high-end customers. On the other hand, even though in Anheuser-Busch Inc. v. VIP Prods. LLC

On Sunday, September 24, I visited Champion Forest Baptist Church to observe one of their classes. This class consisted of 3 to 4 year olds. Their overall goal for the program was to honor parents and respect others according to the bible in which they follow. They want children to learn manners and since they are within the church, they use the bible as a reference. I was told that the children learn best by having short lessons and interactive activities. By the end of the year, they would like for the children to apply what they have learned all together into their daily lives, for example, praying and manners. As for discipline, they have a verbal warning first. If the actions continue, they take them away from activities. Lastly, they call the parents.

The preschool that I observed is Twelfth Baptist Church. Their math and manipulative area is between the preschool class and the kindergartener 1 class. They have many materials like puzzles with different shape and size, paper money and coins, measuring tap, clock, blocks, number chart, addition and subtraction charts, number rug, and many other supplies. They also have cooking equipment that they can use it in math like: cookies cutter shapes, bowls, measuring cups with different size, gloves, and apron. In the math center the children used to sit on the rug or on their chair without table as they answering some question on the charts. But when they are doing the activity or the cooking they sit on two big hexagon tables, each one have six
Although Pensacola Christian College and Academy maintain many unique strength, but some weakness become obvious under globe business setting. One of the biggest weakness which is the core reason for this proposal that is foreign to many people. Three separate but similar surveys had been conducted during research.

God loves his Church and Jesus is the one who builds the Church. Then, it goes without saying that God loves the local church and Jesus builds the local church. Unfortunately, there are many factors that come into play, causing churches to become complacent or stagnate before entering into a season of decline. Yet this can be avoided through the process of revitalization.
Gary United Methodist Church is a small congregation of less than fifty members with an average worship attendance of ten or less. The congregational leaders, known as the administrative council, are looking for ways to increase attendance, which has been dwindling over the last few decades, and find new ways to engage in mission work in their small northern Minnesota community of less than 3,000. A decrease in employment opportunities over the last thirty years and the shutdown of two major employers in the town have led to the mass exiting of families with children. The town has several properties that are either condemned or dilapidated. Recently their schools combined with a neighboring town to offset the lack of enrollment and suspend the closing of both sets of schools.

The final placement I completed this semester was at Laughlin Chapel. This placement is different from most placements for many reasons; Laughlin is an after school program for student who live in a more urban setting, Wheeling, WV. The students at Laughlin Chapel were significantly more diverse in both race and socioeconomic status than the schools I have been placed in. This allowed for me to work with students that I typically am not able to work with. I was at the Chapel from 3:00 to 6:00 on Mondays. The students began to arrive from school at three. As they came in, they were given a snack and had assigned seating based on grade level; kindergarten through second grade sat together, third through fifth grade sat together, and middle and high

This case study touches on many topics within licensing but the three most dominant aspects within the Warnaco Group vs. Calvin Klein suit are the agreements and understandings discussed with a contract, the rights to a trademark and the rights of both the licensor and the licensee. While briefing this case study one can not help but notice, stated on page 21, the agreements that are displayed in exhibit 1: Excerpts from Calvin Klein Jeanswear Licensing Agreement. Here it is clear that the agreement, signed by BOTH parties, states that Warnaco agrees to maximize the quantity of Articles sold, and will be consistent with CKI’s past practices. One can assume, that due to the prolonged history between the two parties this includes Costco, Sam’s Club and BJs store, which alone were held responsible for 150 million dollars in warehouse sales, just one year prior to the filing of the lawsuit. It is also important to point out that this licensing agreement is not with CKI as the owner, it is in fact a licensing agreement with the CK Trademark Trust being the beneficial owner to ALL rights, titles and interest in or to the Licensed Mark. The licensing agreement then continues to state that “Warnaco controls any such act or thing which may cause any affect to the Trust.” With the understanding of licensing,
