You can see them by clicking on images. Or you can search Public PAIR. Or you can search for the patent on Google Scholar. Good luck!

That depends on whether it is likely to cause consumer confusion (i.e. make people think your product/brand is affiliated with Brazzers). How similar they look, and whether the products/services are similar are important considerations, and they are two of the "DuPont factors" used in... View More

There has not been an opinion yet in that appeal. The issues are still being briefed.

Opinions of the CAFC will be published on the court's website: http://cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-orders/search

Google scholar has many (not all) court opinions as well:... View More

There are specific rules surrounding filing of what are called mechanics' liens. You may be able to file a lien on the property where the work was done, but there are deadlines for when that must occur. I recommend you get a complimentary consultation from a lawyer with experience in... View More

Yes, the U.S. uses the international classifications now to harmonize the classes across WIPO participating countries. Even if you're only going to be selling in the US, the USPTO requires your application to designate the international class now. It doesn't mean you have to proceed with... View More

Assuming your judgment was part of the bankruptcy estate, if it was the result of the defendant's fraud or deceit (in the underlying lawsuit where you got the judgment), it probably should not have been discharged in bankruptcy. If the judgment wasn't based on fraud, then it probably was... View More

If you're in a lawsuit, I recommend getting a lawyer. The process has many pitfalls for those that are inexperienced in court. You may be able to secure reduced or free legal services. There are often free pro bono services in most areas. Since you're in Florida, you may also want to... View More

I would be careful about relying solely on that one patent. There may be others that affect your freedom to operate. I suggest getting an opinion from a lawyer about whether you are clear to manufacture those parts without risking infringement. Budget at least $4,000 for such an opinion. Good luck!

I disagree with Mr. Grossman, and for the most part agree with Mr. Garciaacosta. The core of trademark law is consumer confusion. Whether there is depends on the similarity of the product/service. There are many names/brands/marks that are identical, but because they're in different... View More

Generally, you can't. In the U.S., patent applications remain secret for 18 months after they are filed. So unless the applicant voluntarily discloses it, requests early publication, and you are not an inventor or other person who has a special relationship with the applicant or inventors,... View More

The fact that the customer was paid money by the insurance company doesn't really affect your rights to collect payment for services you rendered. Because the services were made on a property, you may be able to file a lien (a Florida construction lawyer may be able to answer that specific... View More

Your question is difficult to answer without more specifics. I recommend seeking out an initial consultation with a lawyer who can review the letter you received, and evaluate what the issues are with you confidentially. Many lawyers will offer you a few minutes to evaluate your legal matter for... View More

Hard to say without more information. It doesn't sound eligible for utility protection, but it's hard to know for sure without more information. You might also be able to protect it with a design patent, but again there is too little information to say with any certainty.

Short answer: A license. Contact the patent owner to find out if they're interested in either licensing the patent to you, selling it to you, or you can become a distributor or retailer if they already have the product available. Good luck!

Enforceability of the contract will be subject to state law (California). Whether a contract that applies retrospectively would be enforceable under California law is something that a California-licensed lawyer would have to advise on. Generally speaking, a contract must have what is called... View More

You need to have them sign a contract that includes several provisions: non-disclosure, non-circumvention, non-compete. This is often referred to as an NDA. However, be VERY careful about using documents you find online--they often have poorly drafted, incomplete, or outdated language that... View More

I believe this is the same or similar to the other question about the sequence. Same recommendations apply here as well.

Rarely is one patent the problem. The odds are fair that there are other live patents, or follow-on patents from the expired one that may cause a problem with your product development. What you need is a freedom to operate opinion from a patent lawyer. That will involve doing a prior art search for... View More

Assuming you have an issued trademark that arguably causes confusion with the domain you identify, you would have two options: (1) file a UDRP complaint with ICANN or another adjudicating body, or (2) file a lawsuit against the domain owner for trademark infringement, or if you don't know /...

Kevin's answer is pretty close. To put it succinctly, unless you have discovered a new way of manufacturing the bamboo into a golf bag (e.g. a new way to join the pieces of bamboo), you probably can't get a utility patent. Regarding design, you may be able to get a patent for a bamboo... View More
