Seattle Trademark Lawyer Welcomes Vegas Trademark Attorney

I can’t help but admire the descriptiveness of this blog — Vegas Trademark Attorney. (As a trademark, its almost as protectable as Seattle Trademark Lawyer.) VTA is in its infancy, on its ninth post. But so far, I’m impressed. Publisher Ryan Gile wrote a long post yesterday about Jon Bon Jovi’s dispute over the Mijovi Company’s attempt to register MIJOVI for soft drinks and energy drinks. I particularly like how frequently Mr. Gile links to the PTO’s TARR database (something I’m sure to emulate), as well as his copious case citations. He’s got another good post about Nokia’s Sept. 4 registration of a sound mark for its default ring tone. If the tune is not already emblazoned in your mind, it’s “a sound comprising a C eighth note, E flat eight[h] note, B flat eighth note, G quarter note, C eighth note and C quarter note.” But, it’s probably emblazoned in your mind. This is good stuff. I just hope Mr. Gile doesn’t move to Seattle.
