Keeco, the exclusive licensee of the Hookless intellectual property for shower and window curtains in hospitality and retail, has won a $3 million judgment against two home textiles companies in the Southern District of New York. The court found that Kartri Sales Company and Marquis Mills International had infringed on Keeco's brand intellectual property by selling unauthorized shower curtains. The damages include Keeco's lost profits on all of Kartri's accused sales, as well as triple damages due to willful infringement from Feb. 27, 2015, onward.

This case is a reminder of the importance of protecting intellectual property assets, such as federally registered trademarks. Keeco CEO Christopher Grassi notes that Hookless is a federally registered trademark that can only be used by authorized licensees, and Keeco will continue to enforce its rights vigorously and hold accountable those who copy Hookless designs.

Start-ups are facing challenging economic conditions that could lead them to reduce expenses, including investment in generating intellectual property (IP) assets. However, this shortsighted approach can hinder long-term success.

The value of IP assets, such as patents and trademarks, directly correlates with a company's overall value. By pursuing protection, start-ups can increase their commercial stability and product robustness. IP-driven start-ups are also more likely to create innovative products and services that can be patented, eligible for R&D funding, and have a higher chance of success in less competitive markets. It's important for founders to take a systematic approach to IP management, including proper documentation, and to view IP investment as a means to enhance the long-term future of their business.

By investing time and energy in understanding IP from the start, start-ups can secure their place in the market and safeguard against economic headwinds.

Branding is evolving rapidly with the trend of "blanding" leading to simpler and more minimalistic logos. While this approach offers versatility and simplicity, it raises questions about trademark protection. It is essential for brands to create distinctive marks that can be easily recognized and distinguished from others.

By embracing the trend of "blanding" and balancing simplicity with trademark protection, brands can create a strong and recognizable brand identity.

A new patent, named "Pangolin Coronavirus xCoV and Application thereof and Application of Medicine in Resisting Coronavirus Infection," has been granted and is causing a stir in the medical world. It's related to the use of drugs for coronavirus treatment and has received attention due to its relevance. The author of the patent has studied the drafting process and the substantive examination procedure to gain deeper insight.

The patent's multiple claims focus on the following subjects:
👉🏻 The pangolin coronavirus xCoV
👉🏻 The use of the virus for drug screening and evaluation
👉🏻 Specific compounds for treating coronavirus infections
👉🏻 A drug screening model for anti-coronavirus drugs
👉🏻 A method for screening and evaluating anti-coronavirus drugs

It was granted on May 10, 2022, with one claim remaining: the application of cepharanthine for treating infectious diseases caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. The author of the paper aims to analyze the patent drafting and response to office action to provide advice for future patent applicants.

In China, compensation is provided by the patent administration department for new drug invention patents. This compensates for the review and approval process and can last up to five years with a total effective patent term of 14 years. The compensation is given to chemical drug, biological product, and new traditional Chinese medicine product patents approved for marketing in China. The patentee must request compensation within three months of marketing approval, with a remaining patent term of at least 6 months.

This specific case highlights the importance of considering the layout of patent applications involving pharmaceuticals/drugs and its effect on subsequent drug patent protection.

The automotive industry is undergoing significant changes due to the rise of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and connected vehicle technology. Former CEO of BMW and Porsche GB, Kevin Gaskell, predicts even more changes in the next five years, including supply chain and protectionism challenges. The cost of EV batteries remains a challenge for manufacturers, but the demand for BEVs continues to grow, with 30% of new vehicle registrations expected to be BEVs by 2025. Brands need to adapt their image and position to overcome the price increase, and established premium manufacturers launching BEVs will also impact the market.

The intellectual property of the vehicle operating system will be a key factor in the industry, leading many manufacturers to build their own operating systems. The charging infrastructure, especially in cities with limited off-street parking, will be the main challenge for users. The connected vehicle technology is producing data that can aid fleet decision-makers, but it will also change the role of technicians who will need to be experts in data management and security.

The franchise dealer networks will also face major changes, with some manufacturers moving from a traditional franchise network to an agency model. This shift transfers the ownership of the driver to the manufacturer, increasing the efficiency of stock management but also requiring a different level of funding. The efficiency of the new system will be challenged and it will be a fight in the market to determine which system works best.

The use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has revolutionized the way we capture images and data from the sky. However, with the increased use of drones, new questions are arising about who owns the images and data captured by these devices.

One of the main issues is the question of ownership of the images and data captured by drones. In many cases, the drone operator is not the owner of the property being captured in the images or data. This raises questions about the legal right to use and distribute the images and data captured by the drone.

To address these issues, governments and regulatory bodies are developing laws and regulations to govern the use of drones and the ownership of the images and data captured by these devices. These laws and regulations may include restrictions on the use of drones in certain areas, requirements for operators to obtain licenses, and penalties for misuse of images and data captured by drones. As the use of drones continues to grow, it will be important to stay informed about these laws and regulations to ensure that the images and data captured by drones are used legally and ethically.

The push for environmentally friendly products and services has seen a surge in demand from consumers in recent years. Climate change and its effects are driving this demand for goods that are sustainably produced and can be used without harming the environment. A study by Dentsu International and Microsoft Advertising found that over 90% of consumers are interested in brands that are committed to and can demonstrate they are making sustainability a priority. Companies that fail to implement this as a strategy will face a consumer backlash in the coming years.

With the potential to attract consumers, companies have embraced green marketing in various ways, including adopting brand names that suggest green, using words such as sustainable, compostable, green, organic, eco, zero impact and natural, featuring glossy shots of beautiful landscapes in their advertising, using green-based color schemes for advertising. However, consumers are skeptical of such marketing unless the company can transparently demonstrate the factual basis for making such claims. False or unsubstantiated green marketing claims can also attract the attention of regulators, lawmakers, and potential litigants.
