Anyone Here A Trademark Attorney?
South Austin replied to SydneyCarton's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I got a guy in Austin whom I send IP/trademark stuff. Not sure how often he’s in Houston federal courts, and I don’t know how territorial those courts are. If you’re interested I can send you his info. -
https://www.wsj.com/world/putin-wagers-ukraines-army-will-break-before-his-economy-does-d3ab22fb?mod=hp_lead_pos4 Not sure what all to quote here. Putin is betting his countrymen can eat more shit, longer, than Ukraine can. Any significant Russian economic collapse is at least 18 months out.

I get the work versus relationships thing, but I love work, I love the people I work with, and in many cases I’m most known by others that I work with. My sense of accomplishment comes from work. I find tremendous meaning from work and most of my “atta girl” ego strokes come from work. maybe it’s unique to lawyering I dunno, we are in the people business after all, but to me work is integral to the balance that at least I crave. I do agree that overworking is a problem. Ignoring family, hobbies, rest, contemplation, health and other priorities for work is no good.

Yes, Houston. We haven’t even got to a budget yet, but I mean we don’t have tons of cash lying around. My next question, as to being bully, if you can sue them for basically being Philly and get financial restitution. Sounds like no. And guessing without that no firm will take the case for a back-end win. Sigh. -

Houston, right? What's your budget? Do you want a heavy hitter to respond or just someone good? There may be value in a heavy hitter against a big outfit, in which case Pirkey Barber is probably your no-brainer choice. You are correct that the type of mark you're describing is called "geographically descriptive," because it describes the place of origin of the goods and services provided, if not the goods and services themselves. These marks are initially unprotectable as trademarks. However, with long-term use and promotion of a geographically descriptive mark, it is capable of being registered. Do they claim a federal trademark registration? The biggest problem here is the financial disparity, if any. Trademark disputes are impossible to resolve judicially without trial, most of the time. So a bully can keep you spending on litigation way beyond any point that makes any sense. Of course, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them, either. -

I think I came across your competitor recently while searching for your site. I didn't like their price options, so F them. -
Man there are some shit matchups today. I’m hoping for upsets and hilarity.

In the defense of most presidents, they typically do not significantly effect the economy in under a year... But this MFer is the best at it.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Red Five replied to Gil Bang's topic in Cloak Room
I watched a BTC video last night where the premise was that Mike Johnson thinks "FBI Informant" means "Trump volunteered his time out of the goodness of his heart to help take down this child trafficking monster". Like, the Q-Anon version. Whether or not Dotard was an actual informant, or this is just a far right fever dream, who knows. Crazy that there were cameras and microphones in front of Johnson and no one went "Wait, I'm sorry. Can we back up for a second? Because it sounded like you just said that the president was an FBI informant on Jeffrey Epstein." -
Or know a trademark attorney? I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the surly attorneys and what they do, so I’ll tag a few and see if y’all can help direct me or direct me to someone @TwiceHorn @South Austin @Brisketexan @Ghost of LL @dcbc @Gatorubet. I know Twice is a patent guy, which isn’t the same but seems adjacent. anyway, we’ve got a big rich company trying to bully my small business over their “trademark” which is the equivalent of a state name and a general commodity, like Nebraska Corn or California Water or Texas Pecans or Maryland Crab Cakes and they’re saying we can’t use those select words next to each other in any way because it’s their trademark. It’s obvious bullshit, but they’re bullies. Every general attorney I’ve talked to laughs at the premise. So not sure if anyone can point me in the direction of someone who can help. So if I missed an attorney kindly tag them here. I’ve just got a couple simple questions.

I’m out in the neighborhood a couple times a day, every day and notice everything - typically some trash on the ground a contractor has left, nothing earth shattering. This was out there this week, and I’m honesty shocked. This rock is probably 5 yards from my property line, right up on the road, so I see it multiple times a day, every day. How did a turtle get up on that rock? How was it there long enough to die and decompose? How did I not see it until the absolute end stage as it is now? I feel like that’s a multiple week process, no? The fox (guessing) shit on there is a nice touch. Turtles aren’t a thing in this neighborhood- lived here 25yrs and have never seen one wandering around lost.

I debated where to put it, but it's an 11 year old car with 90K miles, so not new and not classic... -
