The Role Of Trademarks
Monday, April 28th, 2008Once you start conducting business, you are going to start running into the topic of intellectual property and trademarks. Understanding the role of a trademark will help you grasp why they are important.
A trademark is a unique form of intellectual property. Most intellectual property is created to protect the person or business creating it.

Sec Needs Rules And Regulations Overhaul
Friday, April 11th, 2008The Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC needs a complete overhaul of the rules and regulations. They are hurting the little guy and they are not helping the investor or consumer. With all the massive over disclosure and Sarbanes Oxley rules it is costing corporations millions of dollars each year to comply.
This does not help the investor but rather hurts the investor because those costs must be passed on and that means higher fees and in the case of money managers, it means reduced commissions to brokers and financial planners who manage money. Thus many are leaving the industries. It means lower corporate earnings and less shareholders value, no body wins by the government in extortion fines, the lawyers in lawsuits and accountants, of which there is now an artificial shortage thanks to over regulation.

Recently, the United States Patent and Trademark Office proposed changes to the way patents will be processed with a view to reduce patent Examiner’s work load. These changes could drastically limit the company’s ability to secure strong patents. Under the current practice, if the company is not happy with the Examiner’s refusal to grant a patent, the company can file one, two, or more continuation patent applications so that additional exchanges can take place between the applicant and the Examiner.
