The USPTO may deny the application based on the conflict with your registration. I would continue to watch the application. If it is published for opposition, you may want to retain an attorney to oppose the registration. It is also possible that both trademarks can exist concurrently if the... View More

Nike is a trade mark & a company. If I say our shoes are 10% less than Nike would that be an infringement of trade mark? Can I say Nike Buyers, get 10% off for example?
answered on Mar 15, 2018
You can use the word Nike to describe genuine Nike products. You just cannot call your own shoes Nike, or something similar in sound, shape, or appearance.
But today I filled a report. Do I have a case?

I have had several. Problem is if no damage it'll be uphill. Consult a member of the Del Assn for justice--they give free consults.
I was given a violation for duties at a stop sign by the arriving officer to the scene of the accident, (he was not present nor did he see the accident) what case law can be presented for defense ??
answered on Feb 14, 2018
Look at the statute and argue you did what it said. Presumably you came out and someone hit you. If they didn't have a stop sign too they have the right of way.
One bureau shows closed 0 balance. The other shows 23k. Closed and written off as bad debt. The Bank is calling but not stating why. I have recieved no written correspondence. Can they reopen it this late? Should I call them back?

He was almost $18K in child support arrears and his mom never knew about his annuity, so she never set up probate court. Instead she simply had him cremated. How do I place a lien against his annuity?
answered on Jan 17, 2018
If he owes back child support, and the annuity will pass through probate you can make a claim against the estate for the child support.
The process is complicated, and if your children are all minors their interest in the estate needs to be addressed, and FURTHER if there was a beneficiary... View More
State is Delaware. I was given lifetime right of occupancy via my grandmother's will. She left the house to her oldest son, my uncle, with the caveat that I had a lifetime right of occupancy.

answered on Jan 12, 2018
I am assuming your grandmother has passed, because up until that point SHE can change the will and do something different, sell her house or otherwise do what you mention here without any issue.
If she has passed, was the will properly probated and the property transferred to you and your... View More

go to an ER if you have any concerns about corneal burns/pain in the eyes. Follow up with a dermatologist on burns.
You can sue but that's expensive. First--save any and all items in use--the piece the filler.
Also all packing, receipt etc--put it in a box or bag.... View More

I pay for under insured motorist and had to use just for that reason.1 check came from their insurance and 1 from my own
answered on Sep 22, 2017
You bet. The underinusured is like another liability claim except the lawyer has to show your case is worth more than the limits of liablity s/he collected for you. The workman is worth his hire. (1 Timothy 5:18)
answered on Sep 22, 2017
Look at your fee agreement. It usually says for the amounts recovered. Two checks for one case mean that's the amount recovered. The exception might be if one was for property damage not part of an injury claim.

Probably not, but if they try it is IMPORTANT that you defend yourself! Don't let court notices go unanswered, and be sure you have an attorney on board who can review the WHOLE situation to insure there isn't some important fact that would create liability that we are missing here!... View More
