Posted In Trademark The purpose of a trademark is to provide your business with a unique identifier on which to build your brand. Trademarks then help you to stand out in the marketplace. It’s only fitting, therefore, that one of the key elements of trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, also known as the Trademark Act, is the likelihood that consumers would be confused by a mark that is similar in some way to the potentially-infringed trademark.

By: Sharon Urias, Esq. Unlike trademark law in the United States, there is no “use in commerce” requirement in China, which follows the “first to file” rule to establish priority among competing trademark owners.

The term of a U.S. patent is typically twenty years. However, the patent term can be altered as a result of certain Patent Office delays (patent term adjustment) and certain regulatory delays (patent term extensions). For the former, the Patent Office will adjust the term on a day?for?day basis: one day of delay results in one day of adjustment. That said, the Patent Office has historically reduced any such adjustment if the patent applicant was the cause of the delay.

If your bank is holding money in an account and you do not want to pay interest, make sure that your agreement to hold the funds says so IN WRITING! In December 2018, a New York appellate court decided that loan documents for a revolving line of credit were ambiguous when the documents only stated that cash collateral would be held in a "Business Money Market Account." The bank apparently argued that it was free to pay 0.01% interest on such an account.

As coop and condo attorneys we get more calls and emails about quality of life issues than just about anything else. Unfortunately, many people call us only after the issue has gotten severly aggravated and have nothing but their word to prove their claim. Courts will not enforce fines or more drastic action against shareholders and unit owners unless the board has the backup to prove its case.

Earlier this week, I wrote about not accidentally discriminating against the disabled when implementing cybersecurity systems.

In the ongoing battle between no-pet rules and dogs, the legal system does not make it easy to enforce no-pet rules. In addition to the New York City Dog Law, which requires that an action to remove a dog must be commenced within 90 days of a landlord learning that a tenant has a dog, the civil rights laws protect certain dogs owned by people with disabilities.
