Comment on 1st Circuit Tells Walter Mercado to Use Another Name (And Trademark) by Luis Figarella

Walter Walter Walter, you couldn’t look into the crystal ball and predict the future? You NEVER assign anything without a term limit (good enough for the President, good enough for me).

I recommend to my patent clients (where, not having as much lobbying money, we are limited to 20 years), to not assign, but sign an exclusive license (say for 10 years, with following 5 year options). Sure, you’ll take less money up front, but insurance ALWAYS costs money.

Of course you Copyright/TM people with your effective eternity (75, 99, 125, who can count that many years?) should REALLY pay attention to insurance and ‘corporate’ prenups.

Keep them coming Jean, if a certain PR government agency does not get educated in patent infringement, maybe we can have some more postings for this blog!

A lowly (but happy patent prosecutor,

Feliz Navidad
