Orinda Intellectual Properties filed suit on April 25, 2011 against a long list (50!) of electronics companies alleging infringement of US 5,438,560 purporting to cover recording and reproducing optical information on Blu-ray discs. Fine, lots of patents in the Blu-ray arena.

Who should derive revenue from remote DVR systems? According to a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals Cartoons case, the revenue should not go to the content providers. This decision, grounded in three very narrow interpretations of the Copyright Act, works a shift of potentially significant revenue away from content providers. Hopefully, it will be challenged and reversed on rehearing. The case seemed simple for the content providers, but with judicial panel sympathetic to the other side,… [read post]

The Supreme Court in Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., 2008 WL 2329719, 86 USPQ2d 1673 (US 2008) confirmed both the importance of patent exhaustion as a doctrine and the appropriate limitations of that doctrine - the doctrine does not apply to transactions that are conditional in nature. That means, simply, that the terms of a contract determine when or if exhaustion or first sale occurs. That is how it should be. But the limits must be part of a contract. Mere notices or warnings do… [read post]

Last week a friend asked me if a business could trademark their name. Anyone who’s spent much time with me knows that the answer to every legal question is “It depends.” In this case it depends on whether your business name is trademarkable and if anyone else had claimed the same or a similar name for your category of goods or services.
When you start a business, check the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office… [read post]

Old Scottsdale Sign by kmaschke from Flickr
Whenever I ask my friends where I should take my quasi-foodie parents when they visit, one of the most common answers I get is FnB.

The owners Charleen Badman and Pavle Milic recently announced that they’re moving FnB to a new location at the beginning of 2013. Shortly after that,… [read post]
