The last few days since the rioting in our community on Saturday, I began a series of what changes a child to cause them to go do wrongful things. I want to know why things happen. I want to examine cause and effect. One of the things I run into on a regular basis is what I can only call "environmental concerns". Just as I have begun to examine the life of a child and show the march that leads to moral bankruptcy, I often examine everything. I was "that" kid who asked why at every corner. Not only did I plague my parents and grandparents, but I often caused discomfort amongst teachers and educators. (If you could not tell me the "why" I would find out. And I grew up with the wild expectation you ought to be able to show me.) When I wanted my science project to be a rabbit living under the water and they told me know, that was not the right thing, I assure you. I did it anyways. I would go to museums and questions docents about everything. Yep, I was definitely that kid.
Don't you want to know "why Johnny can't read"? I do.
I have been the same with God. I am looking for answers. I want to know why somethings work and why others don't. I do it at work, church and at home. I answer questions with questions to get to the root of things.
So, why is this important? Because our response to things creates and environment. Our knowledge of things determines our walk, our pathway.
What creates environment in the natural? It is a host of things, but essentially geography, climate and weather and whatever is in the ground. If you live further north it is cooler. Further south warmer until you hit the equator. If you are near water like a lake or an ocean you air quality has more moisture. Near a desert, less moisture. And natural chemicals can cause disturbances in the air or the atmosphere. Things that cause problems are called environmental concerns. A factory chugging out black smoke. Chemicals in the water. Get rid of the concerns and you are environmentally sound.
Our world in the spirit is much the same. Things that begin in the spirit manifest in the natural. Healing is of God for instance. Paid for by Him with 39 stripes. If healing and wholeness are in heaven and we can manifest it here on earth(As it says in the scripture.) we change the environment.
We do contend with natural factors. Some years ago I was in my home breathing. The next I wasn't. It was determined that black mold had overtaken my home from contractor error and changed the air quality. Environmentally changed my home. (We could not stem the damage that had been done and lost our home.)
If you allow too much noise in your life your sleep patterns will be disrupted. Sleep is an important part of good health, both natural and spiritual. A house filled with smoke would cause fits of coughing.
The same is true with evil or destructive things. If you continue to yell at someone (Or be yelled at.) you will change their spiritual atmosphere or be changed yourself. Many things affect a spiritual environment. They might be anger or rudeness. Perversity or lust. Addiction or jealousy. Gossip or tale bearing.
Where does one begin on the environmental concern list? I believe you first take authority over you. Remove the destruction. If you are addicted or angry, hand it over to the Lord. Begin to partner with Him. First and foremost with the knowledge He set you free. Begin to allow the cleansing of the Lord to take place. Secondly you will want to work on your physical living space. Too often we allow things to come in, both spiritual and natural into our living space and it changes the atmosphere of our home. Again, by the leading and instruction of the Lord. And after that we get to undertake community.
I mentioned that geography is one of the determining factors of environment. And so it is with spirituality. To know you are seated in heavenly or high places is important. It determines your response to things. It is not necessarily an elevation or height, so much as it is a dimension (For it is at hand.)or a place. We are told heaven is in us and about us. Knowing you are seated is important. It is one of the beginning factors for overturning natural environments.
Climate is another factor. What we are near or live by spiritually is important to our environment. What about that river of life? What about that wellspring? What are the attitudes or standards of those about you? That is climate as well.
And finally what is the weather? What is in the air? (Remember we are talking spiritual.) What is changing it? Is it a cool rain or warm breeze? Or is it coldness or arid airs? What are people placing in the "air"?
The other day a friend of mine asked this question, "if you could choose between 65 degree weather year round and what we have now (all seasons including our winters) what would you pick?" My answer is founded on heaven. What does heaven look like? Can we establish that here?
The rioting has brought anger, rudeness, discouragement and more. Someone needs to change it. How do we change it? First ourself. Then our home and then we enter the community.
When I was in school one of my projects was the impact of chemicals in the environment. I followed city buses, climbed smoking stacks and took water samples from local rivers. Things were affected? Died even. The same is true with spiritual things. Allowing spiritual harshness on any level begins to change your chemistry, your makeup. Think long and hard before you succumb to jealousy or anger. Gossip or talebearing.
The kingdom of God is at hand. It can change the weather, the climate and of course, the environment.

If you're anything like us, you've been anxiously awaiting the Peter Pilotto collaboration for Target (which hits stores this Sunday!), and have already plotted out a precise plan in order to obtain the most popular pieces without a hitch.
So when we had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the gorgeous goods in person at last night's launch party in New York City, we jumped at the chance.
E! News' Zanna Roberts Rassi scored some downtime with the designers to chat about the exciting collaboration.
"It's an amazing opportunity that we have with our brand and showcasing it to the world [with Target] takes it into a whole new direction," they told us. "We always knew about their collaborations and this is such a great partner for us."
We're certainly smitten with the pairing!
After all, the almost 70 pieces in the collection are all priced under $100, meaning there are plenty of pieces on our wish list already.
And out of all of the items, the talented pair tells us that the swimwear is among their favorites from the collection.
"You can pair our swimwear and rash guards with different pieces and it's really exciting," they explained.
And in case you're a bit shy of their signature bold prints, they emphasize, "We always work hard on the layout of every garment. It's always very flattering."
So flattering, that a bevy of Hollywood beauties were happy to come out and support the line, decked out in fabulous pieces from the line from head to toe.
"I picked this [outfit] pretty surely. I love the red and prints make me happy! It's bold, I felt like we needed a little color in this weather," Diane Kruger commented.
Also in total agreement was Dree Hemingway, who couldn't help but sing praises for the designers.
"Christopher and Peter are insane! You can't really fail with prints. The more mixing and matching, the better…light up your life!" she smiled.
We certainly will!

I recently received my free Atkins Quick Start Kit in the mail and I was very surprised by what was sent as a free sample. It is 2 days after Halloween and since I got my candy fix from secretly taking some of my daughter's candy, it's time to start eating better and exercising before the holidays are here.
Like most free samples, I expected a small sample of one of their products but instead received the following:
- Atkins Quick-Start Guide with meal plans
- Pocket Carb Counter/Acceptable Foods List
- Atkins Chef Recipes
- 3 Atkins Bars: (1) Atkins Day Break Bar and (2) Atkins Advantage Bars
- Coupons for Atkins products
- Details about the new book, The New Atkins for a New You
To request your Atkins Quick-Start Kit with free samples, click here to sign up.
It was really easy to do and my samples arrived super fast. My favorite Atkins bar was the Day Break Chocolate Chip Crisp Bar which is the perfect "Grab 'n Go" breakfast or mid-morning snack. The two Advantage bars are great as a meal or snack any time of day. The two I received were Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat and Chocolate Peanut Butter bars.

turn the other direction and keep walking.... look for a shelter and talk to the people there, they are trained to help.
I have been with a man for a little over four years and he's been physically abusive since the third month of our dating. I was in a vulnerable state when we met and he knew that. I found out I was pregnant with our son within the first three months of knowing him.

During the time that I was pregnant he hit me, did drugs, spit in my face, called me names and stole from me. The first time I tried to leave him it was out of obligation for a CPS case that had opened when I went to a shelter and told him where I was. They found out and called the police and they are mandated reporters for CPS so eventually I lost my son due to the abuse going on between his dad and I.

I have recently gotten my son back after a year of jumping through hoops and complying with whatever they asked me to do. He's been home since May 2013.

I am writing this because I have gone back to this man in spite of all the sh** I went through to get my child back and completion of DV groups, staying in Domestic Violence shelters, graduating from DV support groups and GUESS WHAT? I STILL went back to him. Domestic violence advocates and case workers can help people who really want help. But I never really wanted to leave my abuser until lately. And I am still struggling with finding my own way through life without him or another man just like him. He's in and out of jail which gives ample opportunity to leave him behind and not be found. But my problem is that I seek him out before he has a chance to forget me and his son. Now I am pregnant with our second child.

My point is that unless you are really ready to move on and work on yourself. And take time to get to know yourself and be your own best friend. This kind of man will never leave your life because you haven't changed your mind about wanting something better. You have to be sick of it all. You have to know that there is something wrong with YOU. And once you have stopped dating for a long time.... then will be the time to get out there agian as long as you are comfortable with yourself and confident in setting boundaries for yourself and others you let in your life. Know red flags and have enough respect for yourself to leave at any one sign that it's an unhealthy relationship.
I printed out lists of the things he was doing to me.

This time, this new guy and I had only been together three months when his behavior changed drastically... Nothing physical, but enough to let me know it would come if I didn't get out. His behavior began to remind me so much of an ex who I almost didn't escape from, and I knew that I had to get out somehow. reading those lists daily, while I watch the obsessive stream of unanswered communications (read:stalking behavior) on his end has truly reinforced what I already thought. Each time I read the lists, I also reflect on what I know happens after these things, i.e. demeaning comments and crazy-making comes first, then punching walls, then me... Keeping in mind the patterns I've read about it, and my own personal history has helped remove his needs from my mind a lot by providing ob<x>jectivity.

As for not finding another one, I wish I could help, but clearly, I have no clue. I think that once you've been there (and especially if you experienced it in childhood), those types become somehow easier to relate to than non-abusive people, which I believe is part of what draws them to us, us to them, and perhaps more importantly; draws us back after we've already escaped. Personally, I've been looking for therapy to address my patterns, but unfortunately, I can't seem to function well enough in society to even have health insurance, or any money.
You're worth more than that!!!...so walk on and don't look back!... I do know it's not an easy thing to do, but you've already tried plenty of times and it didn't work...so go on with your life and find happiness for yourself.*hugs* ; )
look at your children and know that you have someone to be strong for ,if not for yourself
Listen to your head and not your heart. Men like this are very clever at making you feel sorry for them. Get out before he injures or kills you. He'll never change and it isn't your job to heal him. Look after yourself. Big hugs.
I did that but like my Mother said to me constantly who was also abused...oneday you will find the strength and never look back...thank God i got that strength,i believe its all about when the time is right and building your strength up and trusting in God.

I hope you find your way very soon ;-)
why in hell would anyone want to go back to an abuser. this I can't under stand.I will probibly take it on the chin my saying this but do women have some kind of underlinig reason to want to be beat. like in the cave man days where they would bonk them on the head and carry them off.w.t.h are you thinking. feeling sorry for someone like that?
Give it time. Its clear that you recognise that you shouldnt go back to him, its only the initial feelings of a nomral break up that are making you think about going back. You know whats right for you deep down, you are just struggling with the initial feelings of change. Give it time, work through your feelings, have you ever ridden them out to see what happens if you don't go back? Ride them out... do it for YOURSLEF, no one else, just for yourself. You are more imporant that the person who treated you badly, and you are not responsible for their happiness, only your own. Please move forward and experience the other side of life.
Seek guidance in a shelter for abuse, but just don't go back to him. Remember no one controls you, you control yourself. So if you go back to him and he continues to use you as a doormat, it's only because you let him.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by JimmyTitan, Apr 16, 2014.
So he signs with the only team that talked to him? Sounds desperate to me
And I'm touching myself as we speak.
I'm sure he loved the spotlight of being in NY during his visit. He thought TN fans & media were harsh on him....oh boy
Man, when he goes down before contact and gets 1.8 yards per carry in a game, he will see what "harsh" is.
Happy to see this. Jets will either be really fun to watch or a complete clusterf*ck which is also fun to watch if you're not a fan.
Rex prolly told CJ he could bang his foot fetish wife. SOLD.
Pretty funny that Greene leaves the Jets, comes here. CJ cut from the Titans, goes to Jets.
1267 yds 8 TD's
They'll probably wear their NY Titans throwbacks and CJ will get confused and run 100 yds the wrong way..

Two weeks ago, I discussed ways to make religion more meaningful in your game. If you haven't read it yet, do so before reading this. It's okay, we'll wait.
Back again? Good. Now, here's the list of divine interventions I promised in that post. I've numbered them so you could use it as a random effects table, but I recommend choosing something appropriate instead of rolling for an effect.
- +1 bonus on skill checks for one attempt
- +1 to +3 bonus on to-hit or damage rolls for one round or one combat
- +10% value to all gems or other valuable items sold at one sale
- PC is surrounded by an invisible (or glowing–GM's choice) field that deflects attacks and gives a +1 or +2 to armor class for one round or one combat
- +1 to attribute bonus for one attribute check
- Earned treasure includes a map of the tower or dungeon PCs will go to in the near future
- Earned treasure includes a map of a town the PCs frequent with secret entrances and exits to key buildings clearly marked.
- Found treasure is +10% higher in value than it would be otherwise
- PC gains a Protection from Evil (or Good, or Law, or Chaos) for a limited duration, say one round, one turn, or one combat. If your games doesn't use alignments, substitute a protection from hostile creatures
- PC knows immediately that someone he's currently talking to is lying or he knows the person is absolutely telling him the truth.
- NPCs react more favorably to the PC for a set duration time.
- Animals respond more positively to PC for a set duration time.
- A monster's breath weapon leave PC completely unharmed for one attack
- The answer to one particularly important question simply appears in PC's mind
- PC is able to find a particularly helpful NPC for a specific adventure or task
- PC's vehicle or mount lasts 10% longer than it should — i.e. mount goes an extra 10% distance before tiring, modern vehicle goes 10% longer on one tank of gas, etc. This causes no harm to the vehicle or mount. Alternatively, you could have the vehicle or mount just make it to the next town when, in all rights, it should've been unable to.
- PC finds necessary item for survival in a hostile environment (water in the desert, shelter in a blizzard, food while lost in the wilderness).
- PC is able to persuade an NPC to do one thing she wouldn't normally do (as long as it doesn't go against the NPC's deeply held beliefs).
- PC can understand and talk to animals for a limited amount of time
- PC can understand a language he doesn't know for a short period of time
This is only a small number of things that a DI can do, a short list to get your creative juices flowing. Don't make your DI results too powerful–you don't want to give away the whole adventure, just give an appropriately devout character a leg up during a particularly dangerous or difficult event. And you can scale the effects of the DI depending on how devout the PC has been in her observances and how long it's been since the gods last gave her a helping hand. By divine help minor and rare, you help keep the PCs from relying on it too much.
If you've ever used divine intervention in your game, I'd love to hear about it in the comments section below.

text: Hello, I am trying to use CNS to do molecular dynamics on an extended poly peptide chain. The only constraints that I have are distance constraints between two atoms on different residues. I have tried making a pseudo NOE that constrains the distance between these two atoms but either this doesn't work or I've completely screwed it up (I'm leaning toward the latter). Does anyone have a sample script that I can use or perhaps a better idea on how to do this? Thank you, Django

Slut I have to acknowledge the receipt of
your uefpaicnc. oi .Novcmocr n, irto. 19,1
November 13, (No. 19.) and November 15,
(No. 30.) These pspers, tn their order, open
and clear np tho subject of the action of Rus
sia upon the proposition which was recently
made to her and to Great Britain by France,
for s Joint appeal of all three of tho Powers to
the United States. The consideration which
they suggest has, however, already been antl-
cipaicu in. my previous instructions.
I havo now onlv to renew the expression of
the satisfaction or the President with the pru
dent, Just, and friendly course pursued by the
Government or the Ciar on that Interesting oc
casion. On renting your despatch I cannot avoid see
ing that some exsggeratlons of our affairs,
which attended tho political canvass which haa
been recently held hero, have been presented to
Europe, even by friends or thla country, as
portentous facts, and have been Influential In
Indncing tho ill Judged proceeding or Mr.
Drouyn do l'Hnjs, and investing, it with an
Importance far beyond Its merits.
aii meso exaggerations, navmg nad in some
measure their desired local and temporarv aue-
coss, have now passed away. Even those who,
on cither side, got them np In the heat of srgu-
mont nave lorgouen mem, ana tno wnoio
country, with all tho departments or the Gov
ernment, haa bocome satisfied that the progress
or the Government In suppressing tho Insur
rection is satlsfsctory. I am not disposed to
Jndge foreign nations harshly for their want of
confidence In the maintenance or the Union,
since they aro naturally misled by our own
partisan excitements, the nature and char
acter or which must bo vory Imperfectly under-
bwjuu Burundi
I think that if tho European statesman
ahould undertake a survey of hla own political
hemisphere, ho would hardly find a nation
which, at this tlmo, Is more thoroughly con
vinced of Its present safctv and assured wcir.re
than the United Btstes. Our groat expedition
assigned to Major General Banka has moved
towards Its destination, aad It will soon be
heard from. Our forces aro clearing the valley
or tho Mississippi. Another army la pressing
the insurgents In Virginia. Our Iron-clad fleet
is growing witn rapiuity, and It will soon re
duco the last remaining Insurgent port. Tho
principal part or Tcnnesseo Is restored. Elec
tions are being held In portions or several or
mo insurrectionary Btatcs, wmen will restore
In thoso regions tho civil administration of tho
Federal Government.
A now rear I j thus likely to open with better
auspices for tho country than either of Its pre
decessors, 1801 and 1803.
It Is well to be watchful of Intrigues abroad,
ami to guard, so far as Is possible, against mis
apprehensions, much moro against Injurious
policies on the pert of foreign States i but, on
tho other hand, tho couutrysand tho Govern
ment rcnutro every one of lta representatives
to bo assured, and at all times to bo prepared
iu osaaro iuo aiaio 10 wnicn no is accroaitca,
that any foreign Power which thinks this peo
ple Is ready to divide and destroy Itself Is mis
tsken, and that If any such State thinks thst
thoUnloB can be destroyed by Intorrerenco
from anyforolgn quarter, this belief Is even still
more erroneous.
The President's message and tho reports of
the Secretaries of the Treasury, War, and the
Navy, will be very useful in enabling yon to
show to Prlnco Gortchacow the gronnda of the
nubile ronOdonco In tho stability or the Union,
which I havo eudeavored to describe.

Sibi Your despatch of November 23 (No.
21) haa been submitted to tho President. A
pernsal or It produces the same Impression
which follows the reading of the despatches of
all our representatives In Europo, namely, that
the Government of tho United States Is rec.rd.
od by foreign Governments as weak and In
critical circumstances. Tho existence of such
an opinion in Europe is natural. Our utter
ances, which aro controveraial because wo aro
really free and confident of tho national safety,
however wo may seem to despond, too often
present tho Government In this light. This
Is the result of a commcndabla Impatience
for greater activity, with the promise or
greater and speedier results. The insurgent
emissaries In Europo Inculcate the same opin
ion, and their prejudiced or Interested European
sympathizers havo tho public car In Europe,
as losurgcnt exiles alwjya do. Nothing,
however, could be more Injurious to the conn
try than a seeming admls.lon or tho Justieo
of the opinion in question by this Govern
ment. This sentiment was among thoso which
Induced my Instructions to ourself, Mr. Day

and mako no comments on any explanatlona

\ In this day and age of fast-paced innovation, the question of "what's the next big thing" often hounds even the least-interested of onlookers. While only the most rabid of technologists strive to have the deepest understanding of the latest and greatest (so much so that they stop at nothing to try and read the next new feature), the technologically unconnected still like to look ahead and figure out whether they will need to spend $600 on technology that may, in the next few months, be completely outmoded. Fortunately, for those that live and breathe on up-to-the-minute information on their biggest tech crush's new innovation, there is a tool that you can navigate to find just such valuable tidbits: the USTPO database of registered and pending trademarks.

Skating on the precipice of state laws, on one side, that may allow for widespread distribution of marijuana in the state, and federal laws, on the other, which criminalize such sale across state lines, owners of these businesses must tread carefully in finding the right way to expand their businesses. One obstacle facing so-called "potrepreneurs" is how to rely on certain legal protections that businesses in non-illicit fields use to stop potentially unfair business practices. Trademark registrations are one important protection, and one that businesses in the retail sector particularly lean on, especially in a product market where the products are fungible. A recent decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) demonstrates that people in the marijuana business will need to be more strategic in how they protect trademarks.
In the case, the TTAB affirmed the United States Patent and Trademark Office's decision to refuse registration for the mark HERBAL ACCESS for "retail store services featuring herbs" on the grounds that the mark is used in connection with a substance that is illegal under federal law. The TTAB arrived at this conclusion even after the applicant (a Washington state company) argued that the trademark application should be allowed because marijuana is legal to sell in state of Washington.
The pro-activeness of certain pop-culture icons (or, as will be apparent a little later on in this post, "imminent" pop-culture icons) never ceases to amaze me. The trademark aspirations of many of these starlets takes the whole go-getter ethos to a whole new level. Just in the past few years, we've seen such tendencies on full display through Taylor Swift's campaign to register "This Sick Beat" for, well, everything under the sun, to Beyoncé' and Jay-Z's attempt to register their baby's name ("Blue Ivy Carter") for a line of baby accessories. The latest in a line of ambitious pop star trademark registrations appears to be Angela Renee Kardashian's (a.k.a "Blac Chyna") filing of a trademark application to register her full married name for various advertising and entertainment services. The motivation appears to be a reality TV show that she plans to produce with her fiancé, Rob Kardashian.
The sequence of events usually goes like this: A celebrity writes a song, does a media interview, or marries another celebrity (who may or may not be famous solely because of their name). The celebrity makes some unique, whatever (or not so unique, in the case of "This Sick Beat") that the media quickly seizes upon, spreading it far and wide. Because the celebrity is well-known, their name is associated with the unique word/comment/symbol without much effort by the celebrity him/herself. The phrase may even be incorporated into a viral YouTube video, or acquire its own hash tag, like Charlie Sheen's #winning rant (in reality, this wasn't really a winning trademark strategy as Sheen hasn't yet obtained his registration). Either way, the celebrity will have no problem acquiring the goodwill that other trademark owners may have to pay hundreds of thousands (or millions) of dollars to acquire.
Being a blog whose namesake is "antigeneric", I reserve the right to rail against the generic. Generic trademarks are the bane of a trademark attorney's existence. A generic mark leaves lawyers with nothing to do: nothing to register, nothing to enforce, nothing for clients to use to create good will and compound on it to create value in their brands. For the client, a generic trademark represents a huge missed opportunity to reach customers and create an aura around a product or service; it may even be a detriment to a client if a re-branding campaign is required. Moreover, rebranding can be expensive and provide pause even to the most gung-ho marketing team. After all, who wants the stress and financial headache of starting from square one?
These are the rules that apply to many for-profit, and even non-profit organizations. The name of the game is name recognition, with an underlying economic motivation of economic gain. Consumers recognize the symbol, attribute it to a single source, draw upon prior experiences with products/services bearing that symbol, purchase the product, and enjoy. Rinse and repeat a thousand times (or hopefully many more) and you get goodwill. The owner hopes that it will have exclusive ownership over the symbol so that consumers won't choose a competitive product thinking it to be from the owner. Economics therefore plays a role at two levels. On the purchasing side, it embodies the intangible associations between the name and the source. On the sale side, it represents the desire to prevent others from creating the same association using a similar symbol.
Okay, so I changed the words from the penultimate bluegrass song to make a pun on a situation down in North Carolina involving, what else, music and beer. And a little dispute over the name WOODSTOCK.
Apparently, six years ago two people started a small music festival at a restaurant featuring local musicians performing on the back of a flatbed truck, a type of makeshift stage. At the time, the festival was deemed the Popcorn Sutton Jam, the namesake of a local moonshiner. Then this year, following a spate with the widow of Sutton, the event's name was changed to "Hillbilly Woodstock". That's Woodstock as in the music and cultural festival from upstate New York during the rebellious years of the 1960s. This, as you might imagine, created quite a stir amongst Woodstock Ventures, LC, the owner of the WOODSTOCK mark. Actually, it's more like a portfolio of marks that includes everything from loungewear to cultural entertainment services for kids. Living up to their name as zealous protectors of WOODSTOCK trademark supremacy, Woodstock Ventures made sure to get a C&D letter out quick.
Not believing that a little music festival serving a niche listening group could raise the ire of a cultural icon with name recognition from here to Vietnam, the bluegrass people "thought it was a joke". But as we all know from war stories involving owners of storied trademarks, infringement is no laughing matter.
Perhaps the organizers of the North Carolina festival felt they were making a clever reference to the fabled music fest in a bid to inspire thoughts of nostalgia among concert-goers, but in the bluegrass style of music. Or perhaps the plan was to create a weekend of critique of the debauchery which was largely a byproduct of the counter-culture from the real Woodstock. My spiny senses (and a visit to the website) tell me the latter is probably not very likely, and that the point of the music festival is the very orthodox provision of good music and entertainment, no overt intent to comment on anything.
One of the things about being a brand owner is that you have to play hard ball sometimes, or at least that's what most prudent trademark lawyers would advise. But you can cross the line, especially when the enforcement action you are taking is aimed at the wrong target.
Straight out of the book of Tales of Trademark Bullies is another case of a brand owner throwing its weight around and quashing all potential threats like Styrofoam cups (yes, Styrofoam is indeed a registered trademark). FlipKart, an e-commerce company from India that operates an online megastore selling everything from baby bibs to barbeque grills, has made quite a name for itself since launching in 2007. It is peddling itself as an alternative to Amazon, at least outside the U.S. But Amazon is still king in India, apparently.
Regardless, a company with a name like FlipKart is probably going to defend it pretty vigorously, and have a lot of success to boot. Not many everyday Joe's are going to challenge a company's claims when their attorneys come knocking. Much like SnapChat, FlipKart is one of those stronger marks, you know, the ones that are distinctive because they do not describe the goods or designate a category of products. From the beginning, the idea was to have a catchy name suggestive of the features of the service with staying power in the minds of consumers. Of course, being able to register the name under the .com TLD was key, too!
Earlier this week, Google announced that the company would be operating under a different banner: Alphabet. Some linguists have speculated that the driving force behind the name change is to prevent GOOGLE from becoming generic for search engine services. Becoming generic is the death knell for a trademark because it means that the mark is no longer a source identifier and does not point to the original owner, a critical function of trademarks. Practically, this means that the owner cannot stop others from using the brand on their own products. So how could a brand that is estimated to be worth $66 billion be in jeopardy?
Whenever there is some major media event or news story ("Deflategate" or "Ice Bucket Challenge", just to name a few), it always seems like there are enterprising people that are waiting in the wings to turn a quick profit off of the phrase. And what better way to get a nice tidy profit than to get a trademark on a phrase and secure that highly coveted monopoly giving you the power to emblaze the phrase "I Like Turtles" on every street corner in America?
The latest phrase stems from Cecil, the lion that was killed by a hunter. Just within the past week, three different applicants have applied for registration of the phrase "Cecil the Lion".
If a trademark can be registered for any phrase, and the means for doing it are available (ahem, Legal Zoom), most people figure, "What the heck". They are only out $500, and a monopoly on a phrase is certainly worth that much. Much like domain name opportunists in the late 1990s, where a person could snatch up names like "sofas.com" and "travel.com" for $10 or less and sell for millions, some people figure they can get the trademark and either leverage it themselves or license it to someone else.
Here's the thing. The economics of such a strategy may not play out because there are real costs to getting and maintaining a trademark. Not only do you have to pay to file a trademark, you have to use the mark meaningfully in connection with a business in order to get the registration and maintain it. I venture to guess that many people who file a trademark application on the spur of the moment aren't willing to put in the time to develop a bona fide business. Running a merchandising business (which is what most businesses surrounding an opportune phrase will be based on) requires a mastery of supply chain management, logistics, and marketing. This is definitely not a case of "if you build it [the trademark], they will come."
It also costs real money to monitor the mark, which will be necessary to keep exclusive rights in the phrase. Many people often underestimate these costs or, alternatively, the energy and man hours required if you choose to forego the traditional option of having an attorney find the infringement, review it, and send out the proper letter (never mind the costs of elevating enforcement action to the lawsuit stage, which happens more often than you might think).
So you see trademark opportunism is only loosely related to domain name opportunism. At least with domain names the maintenance costs are low and you don't need a business backing the domain name in order to keep it. Moreover, opportune phrases are often registered at the cresting of the wave of public awareness, which is a time when people are generally aware of the trademarked phrase. When the media frenzy involving the phrase dies down (which it usually always does), the trademark owner will be left with the responsibility of holding up the phrase and making sure it is still relevant or attractive to consumers.
As for the "Cecil the Lion" trademark applications (each of which may pose conflicts to the other applied-for marks based on a likelihood of confusion), one may emerge victorious and may even go on to be a viable mark if the owners can figure out a way to monetize it. If they don't make goods under the mark themselves, one could see such a mark being licensed to a zoo or non-profit organization that raises awareness about poaching through the sale of novelty items made in Cecil's likeness (fortunately, you don't need the permission of animals to make products in their likeness, like you would for people).
So next time you get the itch to file an application with the trademark office, make sure to carefully consider all of the possible costs involved in both filing the trademark, and using it. This is not a definitely not a way to get-rich-quick.
Counterfeiting at the Digital Counter – What Gucci and Hermes are doing to protect their brands
Having a fiancé that is in love with handbags (what woman isn't?), I often find myself in-tow through the leather goods section of fancy department stores or stand-alone stores where Coach and Michael Kors bags are put on display like, well, Tiffany diamonds. Besides looking at the price tags and shuddering feeling the American Express card in my back pocket becoming a hot coal, I often think about the lengths that these companies go to in protecting their brand. Often times in the luxury goods market where there are many competing firms, all of which offer pretty much the same basic type of goods at the same price point, there isn't much to compete on other than the name. Yes, product design is often a point of competition as well, but I'm trying to keep this post simple by only focusing on brand names. If you are a business that is competing primarily based on brand name, you are going to be more than a little concerned about how your brand name is used in the marketplace. One of the greatest examples of how companies obsess over their brand is the franchisor/franchisee relationship in the hospitality business (whether food or hotels). The main flagship brand is often the subject of dozens of pages of restrictions on trademark usage, including everything from product/logo display to partnerships with local community groups to promote the brand.
The rationale for protecting a brand is no secret. If a brand name is the foundation of your business, losing it could mean losing millions of dollars in valuation and being forced to start over. Okay, those might be some extreme results (Thermos lost its brand to genericide but is still recognized as the market leader in insulated food/beverage containers, without which the world would be a much colder place), but the result is looming out there like a hawker of goods in a flea market and no brand owner wants to be positioned for failure in a hyper-competitive marketplace.
And that brings us to the problem that many luxury brands are finding themselves in: tracking down and combating online counterfeiters.
There aren't too many trademark owners out there who can say they have built a monopoly in a specific name. Just as it is hard for a company to achieve dominance and operate as the sole-provider of a particular product so it is hard for a company to achieve brand name exclusivity. And that's what this post is about: brand monopolies and the MONOPOLY trademark. It's a relatively intriguing story about a brand that was built-up, lost, and regained.
Everyone is familiar with Monopoly. Many a family have bonded, torn each other to shreds, and reconciled over a game of Monopoly (sometimes even in a single sitting). It has been an icon of "game night" for years and has been the defining centerpiece of coffee tables and hallway closets for years. And as if that wasn't enough to pique the interest of even the most bored-of-board game types, McDonald's annual Monopoly promotion provides a delicious and addicting extension of the game. Elsewhere, you can find Monopoly branded slot machines, an all-purpose calculator, cuff links, and even bathroom fixtures and towels. That has to cover pretty much all bases.
Given all these marketplace identifiers, one would suspect that the brand MONOPOLY is a solid name and not subject to any kind of challenge, especially that the name is "generic" for any type of board game. The hallmark of a generic name is one that broadly identifies a category of products (in this case, board games that put players together in a quasi-free market to buy and sell properties), usually because consumers don't know any other way to identify the product without using the name. Without ties to a single company as the source of a product, a generic name is available for general use by the marketplace.
Yet that is exactly what a slew of court opinions found in the 1970s when an activist professor sought to name his board game Anti-Monopoly as part of a campaign to inform consumers about the ill-effects a monopoly could have on a marketplace. How could a brand with a 40-year history of success in the U.S. and abroad, with an exclusive hold as the identifier for a special type of board game be in doubt?
