@Prof_Farley @TimberlakeLaw @WCL_PIJIP @AUWCL Wonderful! How early did you need to get there?! Do you know how many bar seats were available?

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

@zvisrosen It’s like an office version of Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It!

@Prof_Farley @Apple @nytimes @RMac18 @WCL_PIJIP Thx for sharing @Prof_Farley! Did Apple seek to stop use too? If not, perhaps the leadoff that Apple wants to stop “trademarking” is misleading. I’m wondering why Appleton schools want to spend tax dollars for natl reg in the first place, did it know difference bt use and reg?

Great book, mine (finally) arrived yesterday too.

Summer beach book has arrived.

@design_law Love possum? Looks more like an amorous otter to me. 🦦

@lammdogg @fly2ohare @starwars @united @weareunited AT-ATs are an ingenious people mover solution for the Rosemont remote lot, excellent work ORD, er OHO

@emptydoors @design_law If you double dare them, then it’s double jeopardy. And I don’t think they would want to press their luck.

@marklemley @design_law IMO u need a tight Ethicon plainly dissimilar test (eg square vs triangle concept fallacy), w/ common sense but maybe even “I’ve never seen a futuristic truck before,” else it’s an inappropriate proxy for SJ invalidity. Tesla has great lawyers, just missed the lead off home run

Four signs, needed a Freedom to Park opinion from a lawyer before leaving my car here!

@TrademarkBlog FWIW, this was a hockey game. Michigan v. Michigan State, I think. I was there. They were trying to have the largest attendance ever for a hockey game. Let’s just say they embellished about as much as a 44e ITU claim.

@design_law @HarborFreight Tantalizing Best Lock case, even post Ford...

@TrademarkBlog @nytimes Haters Gonna Hate™

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

@design_law In Romag, 3 say the statute does not require willfulness, Sotomayor says equity requires knew/should know, and Gorsuch/majority 5 say the statute &/or ltd equity controls. 289 lacks express willful/equity. So if S.Ct. ruled substantively in Appsung, would Sam’s equity args win?

@design_law I wonder if CMI will be part of the forthcoming DMCA reform legislation...

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

@design_law @aipla She’s one of the best!

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

Thanks ⁦@mapleandash⁩ for a delicious Easter brunch and mimosas to go! See you again soon!

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

@design_law I think that’s where Kitsch is going with the new argument. Also, wouldn’t it be fun to hypothesize that the Kitsch stripes are protectable trade dress, and that per Columbia, SJ of nonfringement is warranted?

[Rich Stockton @Stockton50]

@design_law Interesting. The judge seemed to shut the door on limiting to “noise reducing,” but didn’t lock it (“particularly at this stage...”). Did you infer from the new argument that Kitsch may try to invalidate with non-analogous art? To me, that has more heft going forward.
