This application and another to register OKLAHOMIE (with map) were opposed by The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma twice (in 2019 and 2020) which owns several registration for OKLAHOMA.
A new application to register OKLAHOMIE would most certainly be similarly opposed.

Technically, there is probably some liability there but it very likely wouldn’t be worth the time, money or hassle to pursue it. If you can get reimbursed what you’ve lost ( or most of it), you’ll still be ahead of the game.

You would use a general motion form. You should include any information as to why you did not show up in court, as well as any defense that you might have raised in the contract claim (i.e you didn't owe the money, you paid it already, etc.)

No. As long as rent is current, the length of time the property is stored is irrelevant.
On the other hand, if rent hasn’t been paid, the self-storage facility has the right—after giving written notice to the renter—to auction the contents off to pay the rent.

Going through arbitration on Upwork for work not delivered by a freelancer. Just wondering, if the arbitration team decides to take the side of the freelancer - can I sue?

answered on Feb 2, 2023
No one can advise you about whether you can appeal the arbitration decision or otherwise sue without looking at the contract. However the best that can be done is say that usually arbitration agreements preclude any other form of legal action, and even appealing an arbitration award is very... Read more »
I signed a con-compete in Illinois that reads "If for any reason I decide to voluntarily resign from the Company, I acknowledge that the Company requests that I provide at least 10 business days written notice of my intent to leave, the date I want to leave, and (as soon as I know it) the name...

Your question is missing some important information. Having said that, non-competes are not enforceable in Illinois unless they are reasonable under the circumstances. I do not believe that an Illinois court would find the requirement to disclose a new employer as being unreasonable. I suspect that... Read more »

That depends on the terms of your contract, which we cannot review in this online forum. You would need to take the contract to a lawyer to review.

I don't mean to sound rude, but you've made a statement rather than asking a question. Do you have a question? You'll want to use somewhat correct terminology. A "land patent" typically refers to the initial grant of a piece of land by the government to an individual or... Read more »

Yes, the Florida statute that governs Full and Final Accord and Satisfaction is Florida Statute 673.3111. You have to tender the check with proper notice for it to be effective. Also, it depends what your contract with the contractor says. You can't just write a check for a dollar and call it... Read more »

answered on Jan 31, 2023
To determine whether a document is a legally binding contract, you must show it to an attorney. This sounds like an indemnification agreement that requires your wife to indemnify (compensate) the kennel if it's sued by the third party. A "release" by your wife would release the... Read more »

We are trying to contract with an illustrator. Our CEO is insistent that we require the illustrators physical mailing address for the contract to be valid, the illustrator is only offering us his email at this time.
answered on Jan 27, 2023
It can be valid without an address. I agree with your CEO though that you should require a physical mailing address in the contract. If the contract is breached and you need to sue then you will need their address to start the lawsuit.
