The Dickinson Gators are putting the state on notice, 47-40 win over CE King last night to follow up their win over Katy last week. 2024 Helo Homie Lorenzo Aguirre has that offense rolling, had 370 passing yards in the win.

Anyone Here A Trademark Attorney?

Well, I'd just probably capitulate then. If it's not your central brand, who cares. But, in addition to it being difficult to claim rights in geographically and otherwise descriptive marks, like "Texas Electric," people like you also have the right even to use registered trademarks in their descriptive sense. We can all call "Johnson's Baby Shampoo" that, even if it's trademarked. It's called "descriptive fair use." In-house lawyers only reduce the cost of letter-writing. It also means they're not that serious, yet. If they're going to big-time bully, or sue, or be sued, they're hiring outside counsel. -

Ok, I'm getting old enough that I can't think up any good small-firm trademark practitioners in H-town anymore. They're all in biglaw now. Unless you have a strong preference for "face time" with your attorneys, Austin would be fine, or Dallas even. So, for big-time, I recommend Pirkey Barber, specifically probably Rodney Caldwell or Mike Mettauer, or Jeff Becker at Haynes and Boone in Dallas. For smaller and competent, these guys in Austin, probably specifically Dwayne Goetzel. https://www.intprop.com/ Ultimately, you'll be dealing with someone junior, but their supervisor can make a difference. -
He didn’t really get pulled, it’s a 2 QB system. He only played about half the game today. We didn’t have our star RB last game but we did yesterday. The o-line is a mess is a big problem, Bubba Ledesma as our OC is the main problem.

There are some gems today. And a chance to see who is a pretender, contender and who is really fucked. Big test for OU today. Are they turning a corner or looking for a new coach? Bama is already seemingly taking a slide down the Nebraska poop shoot to irrelevance. Which I didn’t think would happen. Nebraska is finally on an upward trajectory bc Rhule has a good staff in place. I think Bama should be worried. What the fuck is going on there? If OU gets pantsed like Bama I can see a HC change mid season. Prolly after they get beat by us?

I’m pretty sure they have in house trademark attorneys, so they probably don’t have the associated costs. also, you misunderstand, they’re not trying to get us to change our name. Our name is fine. They’re trying to say we can’t use those string of words anywhere on our website to sell services that aren’t their service. -
Yeah I invited him

Yeah, pretty unlikely. If they have a federal registration, one of the more aggressive tactics would be to petition to cancel their registration. Or, if they don't have a registration, apply for one yourself and then put the burden on them to initiate proceedings at the trademark office to keep you from getting the registration. That's one way to relatively inexpensively raise the stakes for them and maybe put the dispute in a forum, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, that costs thens or hundreds of thousands, instead of several hundred thousand or more in a federal district court. So, if the bully is dedicated and committed, they can probably attrition you into changing your name. One strategery is to get them to pay the costs of your rebranding, which will be a fraction of the cost of litigating. -

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.
