  43. <p>It is very important that the listed owner of the trademark be the same as the entity that is or will be using the trademark.  This is especially important for intent-to-use (ITU) applications because ITU applications cannot be assigned to a third party (in order to prevent people from speculating in trademarks).  Use can be established by licensing the trademark to a third party licensee, but that gets unnecessarily complicated.  Note that a doing-business-as (DBA) company (for one person, a sole proprietorship; for multiple people, a general partnership) can be formed by filing a business certificate with your local town or city hall.  Fees for DBA certificates are usually nominal and certificates are typically good for multiple years.</p>

  77. <p>Whether an accused product infringes a design patent is a matter of fact.  To determine if a design patent is infringed, the trier of fact (judge or jury) compares the non-functional aspects of the patented design with the accused product.  The trier of fact determines whether the patented design as a whole is substantially similar in appearance to the accused design.  If, in the eye of the ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually gives, the two designs are substantially the same, and if the resemblance is such as to deceive such an observer, inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other, then the accused product infringes the patented design.</p>

  147. <p>Every modern patent law comes from it.</p>
  148. <p>Every patent lawyer should memorize it.</p>
  149. <p>The &#8220;Supreme&#8221; Court should read it (but they won&#8217;t).</p>
  150. <p>Patent law POLICY is not meant to be complex.  The Venetian Patent Statute (Patent Act of 1474) simplifies it:</p>
  151. <blockquote>
  152. <p>&#8220;Dear smart inventor: bring your new invention to THIS PLACE, teach us how to make and use it, and we&#8217;ll give you a monopoly for a limited period of time.  Deal?&#8221;</p>
  153. </blockquote>
  154. <p>Deal.</p>
  155. <p>It&#8217;s the greatest peace of patent legislation ever and should be celebrated.  The last significant anniversary was 25 years ago, just before Clocktower was formed.  The next significant anniversary will in 25 years, at which point Clocktower should still be going strong (but I may not be).</p>
  156. <p>So happy birthday Venetian Patent Statute!</p>
  157. <p>Once more, FTW:</p>
  158. <blockquote>
  159. <p>WE HAVE among us men of great genius, apt to invent and discover ingenious devices; and in view of the grandeur and virtue of our City, more such men come to us from divers parts.  Now if provision were made for the works and devices discovered by such persons, so that others who may see them could not build them and take the inventor&#8217;s honor away, more men would then apply their genius, would discover, and would build devices of great utility and benefit to our Commonwealth.</p>
  160. <p>Therefore:</p>
  161. <p>BE IT ENACTED that, by the authority of this Council, every person who shall build any new and ingenious device in this City, not previously made in this Commonwealth, shall give notice of it to the office of our General Welfare Board when it has been reduced to perfection so that it can be used and operated.  It being forbidden to every other person in any of our territories and towns to make any further device conforming with and similar to said one, without the consent and license of the author, for the term of 10 years.  And if anybody builds it in violation hereof, the aforesaid author and inventor shall be entitled to have him summoned before any magistrate of this City, by which Magistrate the said infringer shall be constrained to pay him [one] hundred ducats; and the device shall be destroyed at once.  It being, however, within the power and discretion of the Government, in its activities, to take and use any such device and instrument, with this condition however that no one but the author shall operate it.</p>
  162. </blockquote>
  163. <p>Don&#8217;t forget to blow our your candles.</p>

  241. <p>Preliminary amendments, as the name suggests, can only be filed before the USPTO has acted on the application.  One case when it makes sense to file a preliminary amendment is when there are multiple pending trademark applications and an examiner has acted on an earlier one but not on a later one.  In this case, amending the later-filed application can preemptively avoid the same problems that the earlier-filed application encountered.</p>

  280. <p>I&#8217;m a USAF veteran: attended MIT on an AFROTC scholarship, briefly flew jets until the Air Force asked me to stop doing that, turned down the opportunity to be an astronaut (which is another story for another day), then served out my active duty time at Hanscom Air Force Base.  While at Hanscom AFB, my supervisors taught me that nobody is in charge of the career of Lieutenant Heels other than Lieutenant Heels, so if I wanted a new assignment/award/promotion, then I would have to nominate myself for said assignment/award/promotion, leaving my superior only having to sign on the dotted line (or not).  Whether you call the skill self-advocacy, self-promotion, or tooting your own horn, I learned (or at least honed) that skill in the military.</p>
  281. <p>So when a colleague recently asked me why I continue to do outreach to prospective clients, I told him that it&#8217;s because nobody is in charge of marketing Clocktower except for Clocktower.</p>
  282. <p>Which brings me to the recent retirement of Angel Hernandez, by far <a href="https://umpscorecards.com/umpires/">the worst MLB umpire in my lifetime</a>.  In an age where technology has helped managers, players, and umpires do their jobs better, Angel Hernandez refused to use the technology and, as a result, never got better.  His strike zone was wildly inconsistent.  And he often seemed more interested in hurrying the game along than doing a good job.  Here are some &#8220;highlights&#8221; of Angel Hernandez:</p>
  283. <p><b>* MLB Angel Hernandez CRAZIEST Moments (2024-04-21)</b><br />
  284. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxUlkZYNPgw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxUlkZYNPgw</a></p>

  286. <p>Before every MLB game that I watch, I pay attention to who is umpiring the game.  Because there is only one reason that you know the name of an umpire: they screwed up badly.</p>
  287. <p>Here is an example from 2010-06-02, before the dawn of instant replay.  Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was one out away from a perfect game when first base umpire Jim Joyce mistakenly called the runner safe.  Jim Joyce&#8217;s name was well-known in Detroit after that game.</p>
  288. <p><b>* Armando Galarraga &#8211; Only Hit Of Almost Perfect Game (2010-06-02)</b><br />
  289. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfCfjT5BH9o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfCfjT5BH9o</a></p>
  290. <p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dfCfjT5BH9o?si=O4o9txUVsg0wfAQK" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
  291. <p>When you do your job, and do it well, then nobody knows your name.</p>
  292. <p>When you do not do your job, or do it poorly, then everybody knows your name.</p>
  293. <p>Clocktower&#8217;s record speaks for itself: in 20+ years, 40+ of our clients have been acquired for $6+ billion, but nobody is in charge of marketing Clocktower except for Clocktower.</p>
  294. <p>Clocktower is like the MLB umpire whose name you do not know.  Tell your pals.</p>

  336. <p>From 1984 to 1986, I sang with The Logarhythms (<a href="https://calendar.mit.edu/group/mit_logarhythms">https://calendar.mit.edu/group/mit_logarhythms</a>), the oldest <i>a capella</i> singing group at my alma mater, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Founded in 1949, the MIT Logarhythms &#8211; or MIT Logs for short &#8211; has 12-24 active members and well over 300 alumni members.</p>
  337. <p>Periodically, MIT Logs alum gather for an anniversary reunion.  In 2019, I was on the planning committee for the 70th anniversary reunion event.  In connection with that event, we created a website and social media pages, including the MIT Logarhythms Alum page on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitlogsalum/">https://www.facebook.com/mitlogsalum/</a>):</p>
  338. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-970x1024.png" alt="" width="525" height="554" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17451" srcset="https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-970x1024.png 970w, https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-284x300.png 284w, https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-768x811.png 768w, https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-1455x1536.png 1455w, https://www.giantpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2020-10-02-website-screenshot-facebook-com-mitlogsalum-1941x2048.png 1941w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px" /></p>
  339. <p>As you can see from the above screenshot, the 70th event concluded on 2019-10-19 with a concert at the MIT Media Lab.  Alum from eight decades &#8211; yes eight decades &#8211; were on the stage to sing the MIT school song for the finale.</p>
  340. <p>Recently, a handful of MIT Logs alum have begun planning for the 75th anniversary reunion event at MIT.  As soon as this planning began, I noticed, much to my chagrin, that the MIT Logs Alum page on Facebook had been deleted by Facebook without notice to the MIT Logs alum.  I submitted a &#8220;hacked asset&#8221; complaint to Facebook support, but that support request appears to have been handled by bots, and the support ticket was closed while the page remains offline.  I have no evidence that any human read any of the supporting documents that I provided in support of restoring the deleted page.</p>
  341. <p>So with all of the questionable content that survives on Facebook daily, why would the Facebook police pick on a nerdy college alumni singing group page?  We have hundreds of photos and videos from the 70th event that we would like restored, please.</p>
  342. <p>So if you know any humans at Facebook who can actually help, then we MIT Logs Alum would certainly appreciate an intro.</p>

  377. <p>Sometimes the USPTO gets confused about what &#8220;beta&#8221; means and whether or not &#8220;beta&#8221; products are being used &#8220;in commerce&#8221; for the purpose of trademark registration.  If this issue comes up, then we will remind the USPTO that <a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=78398233&#038;caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&#038;caseType=DEFAULT&#038;searchType=statusSearch">Gmail</a> (for example) was famously in beta for over 5 years (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail</a>), and it defies reality to say that Gmail was not being used &#8220;in commerce&#8221; over this period.</p>

  410. <p>A patent search cannot find provisional patent applications (which are not published), design patent applications (which are not published), utility patent applications with a filing date less than 18 months old (since utility patent applications are published 18 months from their oldest priority date), and any patent application under a nonpublication request.  So a patent search cannot find everything.  But you can find what you can find, and you should find what you can find.  It is good and proper due diligence for startups to do a solid patent search.  Like the bear that went over the mountain, you should see what you can see.</p>
