Trademark Office: A Case Study

Obama care was composed to assist the general public with America’s shameful health care system. The law was passed to reform health coverage as much as could reasonably be expected. The new law primarily affects individuals who pay for health coverage on their own; it strengthens the consumer protection laws in the health care market. Consumer protection laws are requirements that insurance markets must adhere to while selling their insurance; it prevents consumers from being cheated while shopping for health insurance. Another reason behind

The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, passed on September 16, 2011, was the most significant reform to the patent system in the United States since the Patent Act of 1952, which redefined the patentability of patent to include being nonobvious in addition to new and useful (1). The demanding need for patent reform had been discussed and debated frequently both within the literature focusing on patent trolls and consistently in Congress with the introduction of many patent reform acts that were never enacted: the Patent Reform Act of 2006 at the 109th Congress, the Patent Reform Act of 2007 at the 110th Congress, and the Patent Reform Act of 2009 at the 111th Congress (2-5). The enactment of the America Invents Act in 2011 after the failure of previous reform attempts signifies its importance in addressing the pressing issues of the United States patent system. The America Invents Acts specifically aimed to confront problems that were impeding innovation: the ever-increasing expense of the patent process, the exploitation of the patent system by patent trolls, and the unnecessary complexity and inefficiency of the patent process as a whole.

In 1836, about the same time that de Tocqueville’s essays first appeared in print, the US Congress radically changed the patent process and also provided funding for a new Patent Office building. This magnificent structure became the symbol of American commitment to technological innovation. Among the provisions of the 1836 law was a requirement for patent models to be submitted with each application. The models became highly effective tools to communicate the originality and special features of various inventions. The number of patents issued by the office rose in dramatic and spectacular fashion. From 1790 to 1840 the office issued a total of 11,500 patents; in the years between 1840 and 1900, the number of approved patents swelled to more

In determining whether a trademark is inherently distinctive or not, the courts have come up with certain tests. The classic test for determining a trademark’s distinctiveness was outlined in Abercrombie & Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc. The Abercrombie spectrum is one of the most accepted one in trade dress cases, and is has a universal acceptance in determining trade dresses distinctiveness. The prime factors that are considered in the court are the degree to which the trademark or trade dress is generic, descriptive, arbitrary, suggestive, or fanciful. Some courts include this widely accepted test into their own versions of tests.

Businesses often enter into licensing agreements to use a trademark belonging to someone else. One of the most essential circumstances to consider before expending any resources on a trademark license is what happens in the event that the owner of the trademark declares bankruptcy. Businesses who develop products, perform research, and make sales revolving around a trademark license, savvy planning in advance is essential for protecting their interests. Poor planning or a failure to do so can result in the license being revoked, even if paid for in advance, resulting in the licensee's business potential failure. A more in-depth article on this issue is now available on our website.

One of the key benefits of becoming a naming rights sponsor is the exclusivity the sponsor will receive. One of the most prevalent benefits that exclusivity gives a business, is the opportunity to increase sales while denying competitors that same stage of influence. In other words, exclusivity prevents any competitor of the same category to be present within the same sports venue as the naming rights sponsor. Another important part of naming right sponsorships is the hospitality and entertainment that are provided. Sponsors are able to construct and enjoy hospitality and entertainment that is unavailable to the general marketplace. For instance, our team would be willing to offer a naming rights sponsor free VIP tickets to home games. Also,

It sets the date after which anyone using your invention without permission is unlawfully infringing your patent. That is, once you have a granted standard patent, you can take legal action for any infringements that occurred on and after the publication date

In the article “7 Reasons Why Trademarks Are Important to Your Business”, Abigail Rubinstein illustrates that “Trademarks are an effective communication tool…Trademarks make it easy for customers to find you…Trademarks are a valuable asset…Trademarks never expire” (Rubinstein, 2014). Trademarks aren’t only products of unique designs but also carry many values within them. A trademark represents a company and how that company does in the market. Furthermore, a trademark is how people use to recognize the products of a company and identify their favorite items. Without trademarks, people have a hard time to find the products that they love because many of them use remember trademarks instead of the name of companies. It is easy to understand

To better understand the act, one needs to first examine what “SOPA” is and means. First and foremost, SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act. This act is essentially an extension of another bill that was sent through shortly before it. The name of this bill is the PROTECT IP act, which stands for Protecting Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property. Both these names are essentially very fancy names for an anti-theft law to protect the intellectual property of movie, music and other industries alike. From this, the logical questions one would come to is; what does this bill do? What is beneficial about it? What is harmful about it? How would it effect me and my daily

Trademark, Inc., a public and growing global corporation, creates, assembles, and disburses their products through four main divisions of their corporation: Greeting Cards and Stationery, Calendars, Party Goods, and Specialty Gifts. Their core business comes from their customers in drug stores and supermarket chains. In the early to mid 1990’s, Trademark saw significant growth in response to their IPO issuance in 1992, however, since 1994, they have seen a flat and ultimate declining growth in their product.

While it is vital to understand the TPP from a larger perspective, it is equally important to understand what exactly an ‘intellectual property’ is. According to wipo.int (which stands for World Intellectual Property Organization), “intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.” (World Intellectual Property Organization, “What is Intellectual Property?”) Some examples of intellectual properties are slogans, such as McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ it”, or are rights to movies and/or books such as Star Wars. Owning the intellectual property rights to something such as Star Wars means that only the owner is allowed to make the movies or books, or even create new material. Knowing now what an intellectual property is, it is appropriate to understand the definition of the TPP as it relates to IP. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) defines the TPP as “a secretive, multinational trade agreement that threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property laws across the globe and rewrite international rules on its enforcement.” (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, Electronic Frontier Foundation) Throughout the rest of this essay I will try to explain this definition using research that I did and why I believe that the internet and intellectual properties be minimally regulated at all costs.

Trademark: A trademark is unique emblem to any other symbol that distinguishes a specific product or produce. Since a trademarks is unique and specific to a product, service, or company; it can be used to exclusively identify that product, service or company. Legally, a trademark can be used to differentiate a product as well as recognise ownership of a particular brand. It means the person owning the trademark owns the product and can defend the ownership to the highest extent of the law. In most countries, there are agencies mandated to offer guidance to companies interested in trademarking their products. The role played by these agencies is important in aiding companies to protect their product both legally and in the market place from counterfeiters by enforcing patent laws. Counterfeiters imitate and sell other company products without proper authorization. Locally, the enforcement of patent laws protects companies and individuals from copyright infringements on their products and services. Internationally, the enforcement of patent laws is on a case-to-case basis since there is no established and universally accepted patent office that has international jurisdiction
