Happy Thanksgiving

In the IP world, the US Patent & Trademark Office thinks its reviews of patents and trademarks have improved substantially; see their press release. The Copyright Office has posted the updated version of Title 17 (the US Copyright Laws) on its website; see that here.

Life in the office continues at a rapid pace: we're mostly working on two patent applications and a couple of pieces of copyright litigation at this point. We successfully settled a case for a homeowner who was being sued by an architect for copyright infringement, and we're gearing up for litigation where we represent an artist whose work has been taken by a large corporation without permission.

From our firm to you, Happy Thanksgiving. Please travel safely if traveling you are this holiday weekend. Remember not to tailgate, not to cut truckers off, not to be rude on the road. Have patience with the airline security systems; remember, they are in place to protect you. Enjoy your time with family and friends.
