College of Communication to host conference on emerging media studies
Mobile and social technology: they are, thus far, the defining feature of the 21st century. Emerging technologies such as Google's "Project Glass" reveal that the future will be all about offering mobile people convenient heads-up displays of relevant data on an individualized basis. In an instant, users will be able to access location of friends, commercial offers, tourist information, news and sports updates, and even running scans of personal characteristics of passers-by on the street. When chatting with friends, voice stress analysis and other psychological state indications could be detected and displayed to users.
This new world promises change, but it is not a world we must enter into blindly. In preparation, the Boston University College of Communication hosts "Living Inside Mobile Social Information," an academic workshop that will draw upon existing evidence to aid in understanding these likely changes. Taking place on April 29-30, the workshop will bring together scholars in hopes of moving past casual speculation and instead drawing on systematic social-science based analyses.
In addition, there will be a free forum open to the public on Monday, April 29 from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm at the Boston University Castle, 225 Bay State Road. Titled "Small Wonder: An Exploration of Knowing Something about Anything," the public session will feature Peppino Ortoleva, a professor at the Università di Torino, who will present "Homo ludicus on the move: The ubiquity of play and the fragmentation of time." Professors from the University of Michigan Scott W. Campbell and Joseph Bayer as well as Rich Ling from the IT University of Copenhagen will present on "The case of the missing phone: Implications of Google Glass for the embeddedness of mobile communication." Though no advanced registration is necessary, a sign-in will begin at 4:15 pm. Seating is limited and on a first-come first-served basis.
The event is sponsored by the Division of Emerging Media Studies, College of Communication, Boston University and co-sponsored by Microsoft Research and Motorola Mobility.

The Crossroads Project: Exploring Climate Change Through Art, Music, and Science
How do you experience the world around you? Touch? Sight? Sounds? What if learning took place the same way? Rather than differentiate between these subjects, the Boston University Arts Initiative will present the phenomenon of climate change via a combination of science, art and music. Appropriately titled, The Crossroads Project will be held Tuesday, April 23 at 7:30 pm at the Tsai Performance Center at 685 Commonwealth Avenue.
By combining compelling information and imagery, the Crossroads Project reinforces a theme, and then unleashes powerful music in an effort to inspire deep and personal contemplation of this theme — that is, the choices we are making and the scale of their consequences. Crossroads takes an audience from intellectual understanding, to emotional experience, to personal resolve.
The Crossroads Project showcases a unique and compelling presentation featuring stunning visuals and moving music by the Fry Street Quartet along with Physicist Robert Davies exploring the science of climate change. The presentation includes a community conversation moderated by Boston University Dean of Students Kenn Elmore as well as distinguished guests Brian Swett, Chief of Environment & Energy for the City of Boston and Lynn Allen, Director of the School of Visual Arts at Boston University. Nathan Phillips and Cutler Cleveland, both professors of Earth and Environment at Boston University will also lead discussions on sustainability and the science behind climate change.
The Crossroads Project is co-sponsored by sustainability@bu and the Boston University Dean of Students. The event is free and open to the public, but you must register in advance, tickets are limited. Registration is available online at www.bu.edu/arts/crossroads-registration/.

Alumni Association Invites Guests to Revisit The Feminine Mystique, 50 Years Later
When Betty Friedan identified "the problem that has no name" – the widespread unhappiness that afflicted well-educated homemakers in the 1950s and 1960s– she touched a nerve among women across America whose lives stood in starch contrast to the rosy picture presented by contemporaneous television sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver. Friedan's work set off a firestorm of debate that was crucial to the rise of the feminist movement.

Grantham shopping centre sold for £2.79 million at auction
The George Shopping Centre in Grantham has been sold at auction for £2.79 million.
The centre was sold yesterday at the Acuitus commercial property auction in London with a guide price of £950,000. The identity of the buyers has not yet been released.
The centre was acquired by international property consultants King Sturge on behalf of a pension fund client for £5.4 million about 10 years ago.
A spokesman for the auctioneers said: "There was a lot of interest in the shopping centre. There is now a growing interest in property across the regions whereas in the past few years it has been confined to London and the South East. But the interest in the George Shopping Centre reflects a lot more confidence in the economy and in retail property."
Occupiers in the centre include Pizza Express, The Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Grantham College but a number of units are empty. The investment produces a rental income of £381,016 per year at the moment.
The centre incorporates the former historic hotel of the same name which was named by Charles Dickens as 'the very best inn on the Great North Road'. After staying in the hotel in 1838, the author included the tribute in Nicholas Nickleby. Other well-known visitors to The George included Margaret Thatcher.
The hotel closed in 1989 and the building was extended as a shopping centre with 23 shops on the ground floor together with shops and offices on the first and second floors.

Many people want to feel mental calm, but it's hard to get it. However, you can feel mental calm by doing Ayahuasca retreat.
Ayahuasca can connect us to the unconscious closer. When using Ayahuasca, the subconscious rises so we are easily advised (we enter the hypnagogic state). It is recommended to keep sitting in meditation and not going anywhere when using. This can make us feel calm and our soul feels peaceful. Visit our website and join our ayahuasca retreat.
Ayahuasca is even said to be able to fight cancer. But not as same as marijuana that has been researched carefully, it does not mean that Ayahuasca is effective to treat cancer as well as cannabinoids in marijuana. Even so, the scientists say, there is still a big possibility, that the content contained in the Ayahuasca plant is also capable of being used to fight cancer. Therefore, further research will continue to be carried out by scientists on vines from the unique Amazon forest.

A Short History of the University Naval Training Division (UNTD)
(much of this taken from various editions of "The White Twist" with additions and corrections by John MacFarlane)
During World War Two the Canadian navy was short of qualified officers and sought ways of producing more of them. Naval Order 2854 (June 19, 1943) stated that units "will be known as the University Naval Training Divisions of the university to which attached, short title UNTD." The first division had been initiated in September 1942 by Professor A.W. Baker at the Ontario Agriculture College as an experiment. There were already successful air force and army versions of this officer training programme in operation and a naval one was needed.
Originally students the entered the UNTD as Ordinary Seamen or Stokers (Second Class) on the strength of RCNVR Divisions, and dressed as seamen. Training was carried out during the academic year – but they were not called for active service until they graduated. Two week training courses were held at the beginning of the summer and ended as soon as possible to free up students to go on to summer jobs.
Professor Baker was taken into the service as a Lieutenant–Commander RCNVR and toured Canadian universities in cities where reserve divisions existed to set up UNTDs. Captain Brock, Commanding Officer Reserve Divisions, accompanied Baker to the University of Toronto. Baker went on to establish 16 Divisions in 1943 and 14 were in operation by the end of the academic year with the others recruiting in the fall.
By the end of the War Baker had been promoted to Captain (SB) and returned to his civilian career. On June 11, 1945 he handed over the UNTD to Commander Herbert Little RCN(R) then serving at Naval HQ in Ottawa, who took over the task of ensuring the programme's survival in the peacetime navy. He was appointed as the Staff Officer (University Naval Training Division) under the Director of Naval Reserves.
For 1946–1947 training consisted of 60 hours of drill and lectures during the academic year with two weeks in the Fleet each summer and one summer of voluntary service. After graduation and successful completion of the UNTD programme, the officer candidate was eligible for a commission in the RCN(R). In 1956 the men who were still dressed as seamen were advanced to the rank of Officer Cadet RCN(R) and dressed as subordinate officers with a white collar and peaked cap. There were 17 divisions based at RCN(R) divisions across Canada. After three years of training the Cadets were promoted to the rank of Acting Sub-Lieutenant . Later, probably for economy of budget, the training was reduced to two years of training before commission.
The programme was terminated in 1968 (see final message above) with the advent of the unification of the armed forces. It had, in the interval, produced most of the officers of the RCN(R), and also a supply of officers willing to serve on Continuous Naval Duty or as part of the Regular Force. It also produced a large body of trained officers in reserve, ready and willing to answer a call, should it be made, to defend their country.

Robbi Firestone is a creative force who refuses to accept labels. Her brave oil portraits capture the sitter's physical image, his or her inner beauty, and harbor an imbedded, intuitive letter from the artist that describes, "the Beauty I See in You." Her daily process may include writing, vision journaling, singing, or ecstatic dance.Visit the Gallery
The Empty Womb examines the darkest shadow of the female experience: infertility. By combining medical and pharmaceutical paraphernalia from her, personal in-vitro journey with traditional women's pursuits, Firestone creates a moving, emotional, experiential immersion. Created and presented as an experiential immersion, the piece provokes a range of emotions and experience of catharsis for many viewers.Visit the Installation

I'm not sure if you know this, but tennis player Maria Sharapova launched a candy line sometime this year (in Australia at least- think it was last year in the U.S). Here's her description of the products on the website:
I've always had a sweet tooth. And I am not exaggerating one bit. My earliest memory of candy is being a little girl back in Russia and asking my parents for a lollipop after a good practice on the tennis court. It was that little treat I looked forward to. And here I am many years later hoping to get a sweet treat after a good practice.
And this was what I had wrote in my previous entry:
I remember that when I was young I took taekwondo lessons, and when I began to lose interest in it and would dread going, that would be my reward of sorts for going. And as I've always loved sour food, and I rarely got to eat them throughout the years, I always get excited when I see them being sold.
And no, I was no excited one bit at the similarities. Rather, I was more disappointed. While I am still happy with my life, it currently is not going anywhere. Sharapova, on the other hand, has so many opportunities lining up. It made me wonder- do I give up too easily? I definitely missed a chance on building a candy empire (okay maybe not, but you get the point). It made me see things a little differently. For instance, I gained some insights into why I think she was able to see this as a business opportunity and I didn't (besides the fact that she's a celebrity, of course!).
Mindset- While I saw candy as a way to make taekwondo bearable, Sharapova used it as positive reinforcement. I had to be goaded into going. Granted, I hated the physical violence that is taekwondo, but still, I did not make the best of the situation.
Perseverance- This realisation made me wonder, perhaps I should have persevered in more things that I was so fortunate to have been able to dabble in- self defence (taekwondo, wushu and Brazilian jiu-jitsu), music (piano, the guitar and an assortment of other instruments), sport (swimming, tennis and badminton). I did not dedicate my attention to anything. Who knows? Had I concentrated on something I might've been at London last Olympics.
Value of tough times- I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Sharapova went through a rough childhood as she couldn't be with her parents when she was sent to America. I was blessed with a very lucky and fortunate childhood. But as they say, 'tough times don't last, tough people do'. It is during these times that you learn more about yourself and you come out a stronger person.
Importance of passion- Having said all that, at the end of the day Maria has always said that she enjoys tennis. Drive is important, and it's the same as the age-old saying 'do what you like to do'. I guess the lesson here is that passion can be a fuel to a successful life. After all, all the most successful people I know are deeply passionate about what they do for a living.
So, boys and girls, take this as a lesson to remind you that no matter what, you should always try your hardest and not let life's challenges make you turn away from chasing after what you want.

The New Awareness of our pending direction towards the New Millennium is strengthening and gaining momentum as we will have been ushered into the next phase in the Rhythm of Creation on August 19, 2010. Now will be the time to take action to eliminate whatever fails to progress your Spiritual Prosperity as you will look about you and witness that the rules of man are failing and will continue to fail until All Humanity upon Earth is participating in the New Millennium with Truth and Love as their guides!
The remainder of August 2010 will see us progress into the Season of Harvest with its goal of establishing our Path of Destiny and building its Spiritual Foundation within ourselves. If you lack the ability and Truthful knowledge of your Path of Destiny look no further than your Heart and ask your inner guidance to recall the simplest Joy you have ever experienced. There may not be a marketable benefit for your Gift from God at this time but find it once more and there you will begin to find the way of your Spiritual Prosperity for whenever the Heart leads the Quest of Life the Spirit will follow to Create everything you will ever need!
The Universal Energies of August 21, 2010 will bring forth increased Love to Activate Man of Destiny's Spiritual Foundation for the New Millennium. Stay strong and continue the Quest to Create your Spiritual Prosperity and allow all that you do not need to fall to the wayside even if this means long-term relations and situations! These will only hinder your path and deny your relevance to yourself! Mercury will be in retrograde motion now so use this apparent backwards motion to your benefit by redoing and rebuilding your Spiritual Self!
The Realm of Negativity will increase their efforts to thwart the Positive Flow of the Creative Energies of the New Millennium on August 22, 2010. They shall blame and belittle anyone who attempts to obstruct their plan to funnel the economy into their pockets, for they have not realized that they will have already cornered the economic markets so that all who are involved will owe their lives like slaves. Break the chains All Man for the Realm of Negativity will deceive you as well as themselves by encouraging you to believe that the old capitalistic values of man continue to work! In the meantime the Universal Energies will continue to Create the Pathway towards the Spiritual Foundation of Man of Destiny and the Legion of Light.
The State of Sharing and Cooperation will be the core value of what will come to be in the New Millennium. See to it that you practice and display these traits for there will come a time when you will be tested and there would be no better day than August 23, 2010 when the need to seek and find your Destiny is at hand! Share the positive strides you will make with another and Cooperate with those who will need to know of their way, Man of Destiny and Legion of Light! The Realm of Negativity will not see the value of Sharing and Cooperation and will remain true to their paths of fear for they see these traits as a weakness unless the term "usury" is spoken.
In these days the Realm of Negativity will be at its strongest as they will organize to scheme to remain true to their course of controlling their interests in the economic realm. They will see that their rhetoric will almost convince the man on the street that the old ways are better for they will not willingly share or give up the value of the old capitalistic ways. Watch for the lines of the Battle of Light against the Darkness of Man to be drawn and witness the Forces of Light against the Realm of Negativity as a True Battle of the Spirit of God against the passions of man! The Darkness of Man will bring pain and sorrow but will be no force against the Universal Energies and the Legion of Light who will prevail in establishing the New Millennium!
On August 24, 2010 the Universal Energies will bring All Man to task to choose his side for the soon to come Judgment Day! All Man and Man of Negativity, you have been given generous time to learn of the Way of the Spirit and yet you continue as if you have not been warned. Time will not be on your side! Man of Destiny and Legion of Light proceed to promote your pathway and to establish your Foundation of Destiny!
The New Millennium will progress forward in the Name of God for those who know of His works. There will be many called by name and few will step forward for many are stranded between no knowledge and no time. Do you, All Man, not see the wonders of God all around you and within you? August 25, 2010 will have All Humanity in a day of accountability and shall require that your Foundation of Destiny be at hand! Let not this day pass you for you will be the most important person to God this day!
On August 26, 2010 there will be a second call for those who wait to enter the New Millennium as the momentum of the Universal Energies proceeds towards its becoming! Wait no longer All Man and Man of Negativity, for you will have numbered days to gain the Blessing of God for your works and deeds. Shall you not heed these Words of Truth you shall remain in the Joyless state of heart and mind and miss the entire reason you have entered the Earth Plane at this time! Look to those whose lives are not mired in Chaos and Confusion and live life in simplicity for the role model.
August 27th will bring the opportunity for All Humanity to grow into their life's Purpose in the New Millennium. Use this timing wisely and you shall prosper or should you spend this golden opportunity you shall be one to be standing alone until you shall learn once more of the Way of the Spirit. The Realm of Negativity will do its maximum efforts to keep all in their grasp bound to their ways of economic fear for they will see no difference in gaining the Way of the Spirit through merit or as a negotiable commodity!
The Energy of August 28, 2010 will bring in the Day of the Blessing where the call for Cooperation and Sharing will be the new standard of civility. This Energy will boost those in place to negotiate with the Realm of Negativity, for deep inside they too will know that the Spiritual Boundaries have already been drawn. Will they accept defeat or will they continue their belief that the Way of the Spirit is a negotiable commodity? Let this day be a signpost for the Realm of Negativity's change in their ways!
August 29th will provide Energy of Newness for our conscious minds to absorb and become. It will be as if you will no longer carry a load upon our shoulders and have been released from your stressors, for YOU have! Relax now and learn to Flow with the Universal Energies that Create ALL THINGS! The primary function of our Earthly pathways is to live the Life of Joy through Love and the only way to do this is to Live It! See and Benefit as the Foundation and Path of Destiny begin to open up for not only yourself but also the others seeking the Life of Joy!
On August 30, 2010 the Universal Energies will simultaneously merge the Pathways of Man of Destiny and the Legion of Light towards the work they will establish in the New Millennium. This shall be the Road to Follow for those who will wait and see what "Decision" they shall inherit after the Realm of Negation lets up on their reins of bondage, and THEY SHALL! Let these days mark the Way of Light as a Beacon that will serve as a sign that the Works of God upon Earth will be here to stay!
August 31st will be a day in which Freedom as the only occupation of Earth will become the standard to bear. All cry the call for Freedom yet cannot define it without terms of the old rules of man's ways that become references to economics and selfish thoughts where someone will win and someone will lose. Freedom in the New Millennium will bring us all to Love and Trust one another and to care for everyone's benefit. Use this day to think of these thoughts and gain your Freedom from the rules of man's ways!
As the month of August closes there will be a need to wait for many more to enjoin the New Millennium's movement. The cause for this is that All Humanity and our solar system is being inundated with New Energy to FORCE our old ways of thinking and believing to disintegrate. And as All Humanity receives the New Energy their learning and processing to make the Change of Newness will only come with the New Life Experience of Joy. You will Become a Man of Destiny and bear witness to becoming an Early Adaptor in the New Life on Earth! Much more Change will come in the next few months of this five-month-old process so stay in tune!

There are currently eight states in the United States which have legalized the use of Medical Marijuana. They are in alphabetical order Alaska, Arizona, California,Colorado, Maine, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. All of these states have passed laws which allow the use of Medical Marijuana under certain special circumstances. One other states Hawaii has legalized the use of Medical Marijuana as well (Joffe & Yancy, 2004).
However, the federal government is so set on its antiquated ideas it is actually passing legislation which can prevent even criminalize the use of Marijuana by physicians to alleviate the pain and/or suffering of seriously ill patients. The New England Journal of Medicine has called this legislation "misguided, heavy-handed, and inhumane." The journal further says that it does not understand the problem of the federal government to issue such terminally ill patients Marijuana especially since addiction is not an issue in this case and they allow the use of morphine in this case in order to relieve pain. The journal further says that it is more important to patient that he feels relief by taking the drug not that there is a chance of addiction, the relative serious condition of the patient deprives any chance of its efficacy being known by a controlled trail (Kassirer, 1997).

Questions about Trade Marks
Trade Mark Law Modernisation Act (Markenrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz), 14 January 2019:
This page is currently being revised and adapted to the changes of the Trade Mark Law Modernisation Act. The German trade mark pages have already been revised.
Here you will find a selection of frequently asked questions on trade mark protection
How can you contribute to the speedy processing of your trade mark application?
If you pay your fees on time and comply with important formal requirements, you essentially contribute to speed up processing of your trade mark application. Please also note our information in the section "Complying with formal requirements makes processing faster" on our website "Application".
Can I obtain protection for a company name, a logo, an advertising slogan?
Names can be protected as word marks, logos as figurative marks. A combination of word and figurative elements can be applied for as a combined word and figurative mark. As word marks may consist of several words, you can also obtain protection for an advertising slogan.
I have designed a "logo". How can I protect it? Can I also apply for a registered design to protect the "logo"?
- Trade mark and design protection are possible.
- A logo can be protected - also simultaneously - by a trade mark and a registered design.
- What type/what types of IP you seek to obtain for your logo will depend to a large extent on the intended purpose of use.
- Protection as a trade mark
- If you intend to use the logo, above all, to mark certain goods or services, which are produced or offered by your enterprise, that means if you wish to use the logo to clearly identify the products as originating from this specific enterprise, you should seek trade mark protection for the logo.
- The logo can be protected as a figurative mark or as a combined word/figurative mark. The DPMA will thoroughly examine your trade mark applied for. It can only be registered if there are no "absolute grounds for refusal", pursuant to Section 8 of the Trade Mark Act (Markengesetz). That means that in order to be distinctive your logo should be fancy and not descriptive.
- The term of protection of the trade mark can be extended indefinitely.
- Protection as a registered design
- A registered design protects the appearance of a logo. The appearance is determined by lines, contours, colours, decorations, etc.
- Protection by a registered design is the right choice, particularly, if you primarily intend to apply a logo or other graphic design to the surfaces of different products, for example, t-shirts, cups or print products or to decorate or garnish packaging.
- Even if you, as the designer of the logo, have absolutely no concrete intention of use and merely wish to gain protection for your design, a registered design may be useful.
- Design protection is comparatively low-cost and the protection offered is class-independent. The maximum term of protection is 25 years.
- More information on design protection is available here.
- Scope of protection/filing strategy/search
- Since trade marks and registered designs suit different purposes of protection, the respective scope of protection may differ.
- If you have any doubt about what filing strategy is suitable for your plan to protect your newly designed logo, you should consult a lawyer with experience in trade mark law and design law.
- Tips on how to search for logos are available in the respective sections, Trade Mark Search and Design Search.
- Trade mark and design protection are possible.
What is the difference between a word mark and a combined word/figurative mark or figurative mark? What characters can be used in a word mark?
Word marks are trade marks that consist of words, letters, numbers or other characters that are part of the standard set of characters used by the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) (cf. Sec. 7 Trade Mark Ordinance [Markenverordnung]).
"Arial" is the font used by the DPMA. It comprises all letters (upper case and lower case) and numbers and, in addition, also common characters such as ., ;, :, +, -, &, !, ?, @ (see other characters).
As a rule, the protection of a registered word mark comprises all forms of representation normally used, above all, upper case and lower case or all capitals/all small letters, and a variety of common fonts.
Example: The registration "Hans" also provides protection for its various representations (see picture).
If the trade mark contains characters, which do not meet the above criteria, the trade mark will be treated as a combined word/figurative mark or a figurative mark.
If the applicant requests registration of a word with a special spelling, arrangement of lettering, design of writing or colour, that means if a certain visual impression is important to them, it constitutes a combined word/figurative mark or a figurative mark.
This comprises the following variants in particular:
- combination of a sequence of letters/characters and a figurative element
- multi-line arrangement of words
- widely spaced words (expanded s p a c i n g between letters)
- words written in italic or bold
- words or individual letters in a specific font
Figurative marks are pictures, graphical elements or images (without word elements).
Many non-Latin characters, for example, Chinese characters, must also be regarded as figurative mark.
It is not possible to conclude from the registration of a combined word/figurative mark that the sequence of letters contained therein are protectable as a "pure" word mark.
However, a word which is not eligible for protection may become protectable by adding to it a special graphic design. Simple or common graphic designs or ornamentation are usually not sufficient for this purpose. The more descriptive the word, the higher the requirements to be met by the figurative design. However, it is not possible to derive any right to prohibit the use of a word from non-protectable word elements of a combined word/figurative mark.
If I seek to register my figurative mark (combined word/figurative mark) in black and white, does that mean that protection will cover all colours?
Regrettably, this question cannot simply be answered "Yes" or "No". Therefore, please note the following aspects:
- The application for a figurative mark in black and white leaves it open what colours the mark should appear in. Consequently, a registration in black and white is not limited to specific colours or combinations of colours.
- It depends on the individual case, whether or not it is possible to challenge a coloured trade mark on the basis of a black and white trade mark. The assessment of the scope of protection of a trade mark is complex and depends on several criteria.
- Frequently, a black and white registration may enjoy protection vis-à-vis a coloured representation. On the other hand, the overall impression of a trade mark can be determined by special colours or combination of colours.
In case of doubt, please discuss specific questions on the rights that can be derived from a trade mark with a lawyer experienced in trade mark law matters.
Does the DPMA examine whether my trade mark applied for already exists??
The DPMA does not check if another trade mark already exists that is identical or similar to your trade mark. Earlier trade mark rights will only be considered after registration, during opposition proceedings, if holders of earlier rights lodge an opposition against the registration of your trade mark.
Where can I conduct searches for trade marks?
Anybody can carry out searches for applications or registrations of German national trade marks, EU trade marks or international registrations of marks with effect in Germany in the search rooms of the DPMA in Munich and Berlin as well as at patent information centres. Searches can also be conducted online, for example, in the DPMAregister , eSearch plus , Marid Monitor.
Searches for identical trade marks and complex similarity searches are also offered by commercial information brokers and professional patent search agents. It might also be useful to carry out additional searches for names in Internet search engines, telephone directories, publications on titles of works and/or other product directories.
My trade mark application has been withdrawn or refused, but it is still stored in the DPMAregister database. Is it possible to completely delete information from the database? Is it possible to display only an abbreviated version of the address of the applicant and the address for service to ensure protection of data?
No. Neither is possible for legal reasons. Pursuant to Section 33(3) Trade Mark Act and Section 65(1), no.13 and (2) Trade Mark Act, in conjunction with Section 23(1) and (2) Trade Mark Ordinance, a trade mark application which has been accorded a filing date must be published. The publication must include the name and domicile of the applicant as well as the address of the person accepting service of communications. If the trade mark applied for is not recorded in the register, for example, because it was withdrawn or refused, the publication must also include the relevant information.
How can the graphic representation of the trade mark be submitted?
You can file the graphic representation either on paper (sheet size A4) or submit the representation on an electronic data carrier (CD or DVD).
In case of a sound mark, you must submit both (a graphic representation on paper and the sound representation on a data carrier). More details are available in the information leaflet Information for Trade Mark Applicants and in the Trade Mark Ordinance .
If you file your trade mark online, you can transmit the trade mark representation electronically. During the application process, upload the electronic file containing your trade mark representation.
What fees must be paid?
The fees consist of an application fee and class fees, if any, for the indicated classes of goods or services. The application fee includes the fee for three classes of goods or services. It is 300 euros. A fee of 100 euros must be paid for the fourth and any further class. For detailed information on fees, please refer to the information leaflet Information Concerning Costs, Fees and Expenses.
How long does the registration procedure take?
Usually, the registration procedure is completed within about three to four months. It may take longer, above all, if we need to obtain further information from the applicant. The application will be examined faster upon request. Accelerated examination is subject to a special fee. Then, your application will be given preferential treatment. If the trade mark is eligible for protection, it will be registered within a very short time (sometimes after only a few working days), but as a rule six months after filing at the latest. If you intend to register your trade mark also internationally, for example, apply for international registration of a mark, accelerated processing might be of interest to you.
Do I need a lawyer?
As a rule, applicants themselves can apply for IP rights. It is at the applicant's discretion to decide whether to seek the help of a patent attorney or lawyer.
Anybody who has neither a residence nor a principal place of business nor an establishment in Germany must appoint a patent attorney or lawyer in Germany to represent them. The representative may also be a national of a member state of the European Union or of another state which is a contracting party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
How long is the IP right valid?
Trade mark protection becomes effective upon the registration of a sign in the register. The term of protection starts on the filing date and initially lasts ten years. It can be renewed by further ten-year periods, by payment of the renewal fee. You will get a written confirmation of renewal of the trade mark after receipt of payment.
Is the registration of a trade mark always valid for ten years?
If an opposition is lodged successfully against the trade mark after registration, or if a request for cancellation is filed and granted, the trade mark will be cancelled. Legal actions brought before civil courts may also result in the cancellation of the trade mark.
Furthermore, the trade mark will also be cancelled before the expiry of ten years if the trade mark proprietor surrenders the trade mark. To surrender the trade mark, the proprietor must make a corresponding declaration vis-à-vis the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.
Has the DPMA received payment of the renewal fee for my trade mark and has the payment been processed?
For trade marks which are still in force the next due date is displayed in DPMAregister/Trade marks, in the line "Date of expiry of term of protection" of the master data list.
If the full and correct fee amount has been paid in respect of the file number, the payment is usually processed within the next 35 days and the next due date - if admissible - will be indicated in the corresponding line.
Since 1 June 2011, the DPMA has stopped issuing receipts (see also Mitteilung Nr. 7/11 der Präsidentin des Deutschen Patent- und Markenamts), but you can use the updated data of your register entry as confirmation of payment.
Information on the amount of the fees payable is available on the fees page or in the information leaflet Information Concerning Costs, Fees and Expenses. General information on fee payments to the DPMA is available here.
Registration of domain names and Internet domain as a trade mark?
The DPMA does not register domain names. In preparation of registering a domain name, it may be useful to conduct a trade mark search first. The DPMA does not carry out trade mark searches. On principle, you can apply for trade mark registration of an Internet domain name. This is often publicly recommended to domain holders in order to prevent third parties from using the domain name. However, trade mark registration requirements do not correspond to the requirements for domain registration. Not every domain name will meet the requirements applying to trade mark protection. If a trade mark contains elements such as "http://", "www.", ".de", ".com", etc., these are considered as typical components of Internet addresses that do not qualify for trade mark protection since the public will not perceive them as identifying products or services of a particular trader. A domain name can only be registered as a trade mark if the second level domain and/or sub-domains, if any, satisfy the requirements for trade mark protection (no descriptive or laudatory terms). Trade mark applications such as "cabriolet.de" or "www.roadster.de" are therefore excluded from registration for the product "vehicles", just like the words "cabriolet" and "roadster" as such (Sec. 8(2) no. 1 Trade Mark Act). It is not relevant whether the domain is registered in the name of the trade mark applicant or a third party.
What is the meaning of the ® and TM or SM symbols?
The ® symbol (for "registered") is an information to third parties that the trade mark is protected and registered. This symbol may be added to the registered trade mark within the scope of use. The "TM" symbol for "trademark" and "SM" symbol for "service mark" are used and understood in the US jurisdiction also as reference to a non-registered trade mark or a trade mark not eligible for protection.
How do I protect the title of a journal or book?
Under certain conditions, the title of a journal or book can also be registered as a trade mark. The German book trade association has issued an information leaflet on this issue ( Merkblatt für Titelschutzfragen).
In addition to trade mark searches, it is advisable to also search for existing journals, for example, in the journal database (ZDB) of the Berlin State Library or other relevant library catalogues as well as common book-selling platforms on the Internet.
I have received a cease and desist letter. What shall I do?
At first, you should check very carefully if the warning might be justified, that means if you have actually infringed the trade mark in question. Trade mark infringement may occur when someone, without the trade mark owner's consent, uses a sign in trade that is identical to a trade mark for goods or services that are identical to those for which the trade mark has been registered. The same applies if someone uses a sign that is identical with or similar to a trade mark for identical or similar goods or services, if there is a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public about the trade mark.
A trade mark proprietor cannot prevent anybody from using, for example, their own name or address. Nor can the trade mark proprietor prevent anybody from using a sign that is identical with or similar to a trade mark to describe characteristics or properties of goods or services.
Many details and legal aspects need to be considered for assessing whether a cease and desist request is justified. You should conduct a trade mark search and seek professional advice. In case of doubt, it is advisable to consult a lawyer experienced in competition law. The DPMA is not authorised to give legal advice.
It will often be helpful to contact the sender of the cease and desist letter in order to clarify matters from the outset.
I have received a purchase offer for a trade mark application for my name, my logo etc. - what shall I do now?
Here you can possibly plead that the trade mark has been applied for in bad faith and consequently, cannot be registered at all. Bad faith means that the trade mark application was filed for the sole purpose to impede further use by another person. In that case, you can send a copy of the purchase offer to the DPMA, arguing that the trade mark application was filed in bad faith. For this purpose, please indicate the reference number of the trade mark application.
Do you have any further questions?
Please call our Customer Care and Services (+49 089 2195-1000) - or send us an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Washington Post leads with the deal ex-FBI counterintelligence officer Robert Hanssen has apparently struck with the government: In return for being spared the death penalty and instead spending the rest of his life in prison, he has agreed to extensive debriefings with the FBI, CIA, and other U.S. agencies about his own espionage activities and methods that could help the government catch other spies. Plus, under the agreement, to be certified in court later this week, Hanssen's family will receive benefits through his government pension. The New York Times, which stuffs Hanssen, and the Los Angeles Times, which fronts him, both lead instead with the first appearance of Slobodan Milosevic in the dock of the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, during which he scornfully dismissed the proceedings. The Post also fronts Milosevic.
The Hanssen coverage makes it clear that U.S. intelligence officials don't now know when he started spying. The WP lead says that the Hanssen deal wasn't reached until top Department of Justice advocates of the death penalty for him–including Attorney General John Ashcroft and another man the paper calls the leading candidate for FBI director–were persuaded by CIA Director George Tenet and other intelligence officials that the government needed to know exactly what Hanssen had given away to be able to repair or junk compromised programs. The NYT says that besides Ashcroft, it was Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld who was key on this point. The LAT says, however, that when Hanssen's lawyers tried to get a lesser sentence than life for their client, Ashcroft drew the line.
All the Hague stories go high quoting Milosevic's assessment (one of the few remarks he made yesterday in English) of the court he stood before: "I consider this tribunal false tribunal and indictments false indictments." He later said the trial's aim was "to produce false justification for the war crimes of NATO." The NYT points out that in signing the Dayton accords, Milosevic agreed to cooperate with the tribunal.
The NYT explains that for the moment, Milosevic stands charged with war crimes having only to do with Kosovo, but quotes a French newspaper interview in which the tribunal's chief prosecutor said she envisions also bringing genocide charges relating to Bosnia and Croatia.
All the majors publishing today front the first full implant of a self-contained artificial heart in a human being. The operation took place in Louisville, Ky. The implanted device has a battery pack the patient can wear around the waist, but unlike previous artificial hearts, it has no other external connections to anything.
The WP fronts a Monday speech by Sandra Day O'Connor, in which the Supreme Court justice, who has generally cast votes in support of the death penalty during her tenure on the bench, said, "The system may well be allowing some innocent defendants to be executed." The paper points out that O'Connor will be a key vote in the several death penalty cases to be heard by the court in the fall.
The NYT fronts a study of some 300,000 car loans arranged by Nissan dealers from March 1993 to September 2000, which shows that in 33 states blacks consistently paid more for the loans than whites, regardless, the story says, of their credit histories. The story details low some information about instances where a difference in credit worthiness could not explain the difference in the interest rate charged. It should have put them higher, and it should also have tried to quantify and put high just what race-based interest differential is found in the study once it's adjusted for credit worthiness.
In more Chandra Levy news, the NYT has Fox News reporting yesterday that a 39-year-old flight attendant says she had dated married congressman and Levy friend Gary Condit for a year until Levy's disappearance and was recently asked by a representative of Condit to sign an affidavit denying the relationship. Condit denies any such request.
The WP's David Broder has this ringing Fourth of July endorsement: "[T]he politicians we have today are not substantially worse than" those who founded the country.
The LAT runs an even less misty-eyed holiday op-ed by longtime lefty Paul Krassner reminding of the time the FBI authorized the not-to-be-traced-to-the-Bureau production and distribution of a flyer under the heading "Lampshades! Lampshades! Lampshades!" calling for the "elimination" of Jews such as Krassner, Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and SDS leader Mark Rudd, all of whom it pictured in a "Wanted" poster built out of a swastika.

Shouldn't Kofi Annan be Fired?
I'm actually here in LA this week on business, and reading the LA Times every morning. Today's edition has a cover story on Kofi Annan and the Oil-for-Palaces scandal. While he claims that he has been exonerated, I'm not so sure.
Most of the problems center around Kofi's son, Kojo. Kojo was employed by Cotecna in Africa (Kojo got the job through his father's connections) only because of his connections. The company tried hard to get to Kofi - meeting with him four times before and their successful $60 million inpsection contract in Iraq.
Volcker's report says Cotecna routed payments to Kojo Annan through front companies to disguise their origin and avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. It also said that Kojo Annan had lied to his father about the nature and extent of his dealings with Cotecna and Iraq, where he later aspired to do business.Kojo is not cooperating with the inquiry (he stopped after one interview).
So, here is where we are so far:
o The chief of the Oil-for-Palaces program, Benon Sean, had a huge conflict of interest in steering contracts to his friends and could not account for money that appears to be a bribe.
o The scandal above with Kofi's son, Kojo.
o Annan's failure to fully investigate his son's affairs.
But, most importantly of all, the entire scandal happened under his watch. Billions of dollars were siphoned off by one of the world's worst dictators. And, yet, he feels exonerated.

Messages and Media: Toward Enhanced Performance in Communicating with Parents of Prospective Students.
Litten, Larry H.
Aspects of colleges that were important to parents of high school seniors for the process of selecting a college were assessed in a 1978-79 survey. A sample of parents of high school seniors who had combined Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of 100 or greater and who were residents of six metropolitan areas in the United States were contacted through a mail questionnaire. Findings that may be useful to academic marketers include: factual, impersonal information (e.g., fields of study offered) were generally preferred through impersonal information media (e.g., college publications). Factual information that may differ according to a student's personal situation (e.g., financial information, career information) was most likely to be desired via college admissions officers. General qualitative information (e.g., general academic reputation) appeared to be preferred from a source that is not associated with the institution such as high school counselors. Current students and alumni were most likely to be considered the best sources of specific qualitative data (e.g., teaching reputation of faculty, social atmosphere). Parents of current students were viewed as a secondary role in conveying certain types of information to parents of prospective students. Parents thought that official college promotional resources were not very desirable media through which to convey information about institutional quality or reputation; and while students were considered to be sources of information about teaching, they were not preferred sources for more general qualitative information, except regarding social atmosphere. A bibliography is appended. (SW)
