Your questions are unclear. Names can be registered as trademarks, but require the consent of the person whose name is being registered.

There are a few different numbers associated with an issued patent. Besides the patent number, there is the document ID (US 20140200123 A1) and an application number (61753222) for patent no. 9,138,609. You can look up all the information on your patent through the USPTO's database, called... View More

The process for collecting a judgment is called execution. Garnishment is one such method of execution. If you have the judgment, you simply continue filing documents in the same case, and the first step is to have the debtor complete a Form 1.977 Fact Information Sheet (see the forms at the end of...

If you want it changed, review the information in the MPEP: § 1481.02 - Correction of Named Inventor. https://mpep.uspto.gov/RDMS/MPEP/current#/current/d0e145099.html

A petition . . . to correct the inventorship in a patent must be accompanied by all of the following:

That probably is going to run into an objection from Disney since its very related to an existing mark. Even if there is no registration for "IMAGINEER" if Disney uses that term in commerce, then it probably has trademark rights to it. That's because trademark rights don't... View More

It depends on just how much of your skit would be considered parody. Parody may be considered fair use under U.S. law (17 USC 107), but whether a particular performance/video/etc. actually provides a fair use defense depends on the specific facts, and then how those facts compare to the factors...

You may have a claim to unlawful disclosure of a trade secret. Much of your rights depend on in what state your business is located, and in what state the competitor is located because of what law may apply in deciding the issue (e.g. statutory trade secret law, contract law, etc.). Further factors... View More

Probably not, unless your license agreement expressly allows you the right to enforce, or you are the exclusive licensee. Oftentimes the intellectual property owner retains the right to enforce or license the IP to others (non-exclusive license), though sometimes there is contractual language that... View More

Your question is somewhat confusing. If the borrower and the contractor are on "opposite sides of the v." or are both a plaintiff or a defendant but adverse to one another (such as a cross claim) then a release should be able to accommodate whatever settlement structure the parties desire...

It depends on whose responsibility the door is. It may not even be the unit owner's property, but rather a limited common element. Consider approaching the condo board about the matter, or reviewing the declaration to determine if the balcony door is the association's responsibility. If... View More

Maybe. There are too few facts to determine how strong or weak the claim may be, assuming there is even a claim. I further assume you are the parent of the 17 year old? If you are, once she reaches the age of majority (18), she will likely have to pursue the claim herself, not you as the parent.

Generally speaking, you hold the privilege (and thus the right) to keep information confidential, or to reveal it under the attorney-client privilege. Disclosing information that your attorney provided to you may not be in your best interest however, and I recommend you have another attorney review... View More

The answer probably depends on the marketplaces' merchant terms. Absent any contract between you and the infringer, the answer is probably no.

Fascinating hypothetical. The answer probably depends on a few things: Was the tattoo a reproduction of another artist's creation, or based on an existing trademark? If so, have those rights now lapsed or terminated? Was the tattoo a part of the film's original creative makeup? If so, has... View More

Trademark rights are based on use, but a registration can be very helpful. If you need assistance evaluating if you can get a trademark (i.e. have clearance to use the mark), or need assistance getting a trademark (whether federal or state), contact a lawyer who specializes in such matters. I have... View More

The fair use defense depends on a number of factors. Read 17 U.S.C. 107. There is no way to provide an opinion about your particular hypotheticals without further information, since it is fact-intensive and specific to those facts. If you want an actual legal opinion, you certainly don't want... View More

Hire an attorney to conduct a prior art search and provide an opinion about whether your design is patentably distinct over the prior art. I recommend you budget about $2,000 for this work. Good luck!

This question is indecipherable, and unclear what you're asking. Try restating the question with more detail about the problem you're facing, and what you're trying to accomplish.

Replevin can be a straightforward process. Read Florida Statute 78, ALL OF IT. Also review the forms included in the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, including Form 1.908, 1.916, 1.937, and 1.995. The basic process in a replevin action is: 1. Draft and file three things: (A) complaint, (B) an ex... View More

If they did the work they said they were going to do, then probably not. Just because a fix that you paid for doesn't actually fix the car doesn't mean the shop is liable for failing to fix the problem. Where things get more difficult is if you paid for a diagnostic, and they got it... View More
