@climatebabes @PaulPitt1967 Completely different things

@cancelmeAZ @sehece @GOLDBABYO Having postgrad degrees and writing effective CVs are different skills. I had enough sense to recognise that and willingly seek out experts when I last applied for a job

@AlanOlive1 @MrHistory92 Years ago I was monitoring for a party and arguing such ballots and had that precise situation and illustration 🍆- it got through- clear marking in only one box for a specific candidate

@Georgiegeo51098 @Poppy_yyyyyyyy Goodness, you seem nasty!

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@REIGNSBACH Yes, in Soho and in the City of London. One of the streets I walk down to get home (Watling Street) is unnavigable after 6pm on Thursday eves from March to November as it’s totally blocked by people drinking. Technically cars can use it but good luck! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@citydoc56 @Jingerella66 How deeply unpleasant you sound.

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@Karun_Dambiec @SJFrankD @Simon_Ingari Or even 6 months

@Funk2funkDiaz @_yanaboyko 2/2 usually what a license fee would be (ie a few cents per shirt) in EU & maybe a small uplift so it wouldn’t be many thousands of £€$. The system is v frustrating for small creatives sadly 😢 also the infringer is Monte Carlo CC not Rolex/ATP unless they are selling/promoting

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@Funk2funkDiaz @_yanaboyko To @_yanaboyko I’d love to help but sadly my practising license is for a specific company so I can’t advise you professionally. Gather evidence of how and when you created the design. Also sadly damages for infringement are not as significant as some on this thread think it’s 1/2

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@Funk2funkDiaz @_yanaboyko You are proving my point Carlos. You initially recommended she register her design. A UCD is unregistered as is copyright. She has copyright & UCD and can enforce that but cannot register her design as you (incorrectly) suggested. Thanks for mansplaining IP to a professional 😉

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@Funk2funkDiaz @_yanaboyko I’ve been a practicing IP lawyer for over 20 years 😂 You’re wrong about higher damages in Europe (the infringement occurred in France) also a reg’d design can only be filed within a grace period of public disclosure & she disclosed in 2024 at latest so it’s too late.

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@Funk2funkDiaz @_yanaboyko It doesn’t matter if she hasn’t. She still has copyright in the original design. It would be unusual to file for a registered design for a surface decoration like this.

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@chloekilgorePSN @_yanaboyko @ROLEX This has nothing to do with Rolex 🤷🏼‍♀️ the label on the tshirt is clear that it’s the venue- the Monte Carlo Country Club that has copied and is selling the infringing shirts.

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@JLeagueShirts @diekarasu @_yanaboyko You are incorrect.

@ajohnduncan @TheHoogie The first piece of Carmina Burana (oh Fortuna!) is very effective too. See also the Hallelujah Chorus from Handels Messiah.

@annamaria1word I was once woken at 6.30 by a hotel ringing my mobile to tell me they were cancelling my 4 night booking as I had failed to check in the night before. I was asleep in said hotel and they wouldn’t believe me until I suggested they call the room phone…

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@IanBourneArt In a testament to your art- I’m sat zooming in to try and work out if this one is a picture or a photo!

[Sarah @sybaricious]

@runarorama @sturgios Yup but not unaccompanied. Likely times have changed but we were booted out of the back of the minibus with a tent, a compass, some kendal mint cake and a battered ordnance survey map. Not an adult or mobile phone in sight 😂

@TautvydasRaman1 @NorthstarCharts @SpencerHakimian It is in Europe but not the European Union.
