by
Mark VB Partridge
on Fri 21 Mar 2008 03:12 PM CDT
Last month, the Young Lawyers Section of the Chicago Bar Association, hosted a program on intellectual property law, featuring three Federal Court Judges: Virginia Kendall, Rebecca Pallmeyer, and Matthew Kennelly.
The meeting closed with the following litigation mistakes and related nuggets of advice: 1. Too many exhibits. Focus on what you need to prove your case. 2. Useless discovery. You can get by with less. 3. Lack of focus. Make judgments about what is truly significant. Be cost effective. 4. Assuming that questions mean the judge doesn't understand. Visit court and observe the judge. 5. Missing the forest for the ... more » Monday, March 3

Yoko Sues Singer Over Use of Lennon
by
Mark VB Partridge
on Wed 13 Feb 2008 09:00 AM CST
John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has sued singer Lennon Murphy over the name LENNON. John Lennon's son Julian sides with Lennon Murphy.
This case poses the often challenging questions: Does a person have a right to use their own name as a trademark if it is confusingly similar to another's name or mark? And who has standing to complain? Could Harrison Ford use his own last name as a brand for automobiles? Could my Scottish friend Charters McDonald Brown open McDonald's restaurants selling McHaggis dinners? More on LENNON available here. more » Tuesday, February 12

Blomberg.com reports here that Howard Stern's cousin Richie Gerber, owner of BeeCeuticals LLC, has sued Dreamworks and Paramount for trademark infringement based on the slogan "give bees a chance" to promote the animated film "Bee Movie". The mediator in me thinks they should "Give peace a chance." The litigator in me wonders if Yoko Ono still has rights in "Give Peace A Chance." But then, I'm easily confused (he writes with a wink).
