    I wondered why a fee increase was needed again. This might explain it.

    Is it reasonable to expect the Copyright Office will be sponsoring an entrant in the Formula 1 series ?

    I’d like to see the USPS get involved in horse racing too !

  2. 4

    So THAT’S where our free-money-for-doing-nothing, rip-off maintenance fees have been going!

    What’s the procedure for recalling / removing Vidal?

  3. 3

    Totally off-topic, but Eric Brunetti (of Iancu v. Brunetti, 139 S. Ct. (2019) fame) was pursuing an even more explicit TM than the one at issue in his supreme court case. The CAFC just dismissed his appeal by mutual agreement between Brunetti and the TTAB. Strangely, I do not see a TTAB opinion in the file wrappers, so I wonder what the CAFC appeal was supposed to be reviewing.

    1. 3.1

      Totally off topic. Is it Big Pharma? anon said he has to pay $ 288 for 10 viagra pills (generic!) at his wall mart. Why?

          1. 3.1.1.1.1

            That you even attempt to imply that you are a “grown-up” especially in comparison to me is really quite humorous.

            Other than that, did you have a point to make?

    2. 3.2

      A federal government agency being a sponsor of a race car makes no sense. That the agency is the PTO really is a head scratcher. At best, it’s a bad look. NASCAR and its racers own a lot of IP-which might suggest to the public that And if they are trying to suggest the PTO runs at 180 mph, it’s actually hysterical. Maybe pick a more appropriately “speedy” sport to sponsor, like golf. Justin Rose can trade in his Nike wear for some garb from the PTO gift shop. Bizzare.

      1. 3.2.1

        *Sorry, last comment cut off. Meant to say that the appearance of the agency name besides all these other companies might suggest that they have some type of special relationship with the Office.

      But he said with Good Rx his pills were $ 16 dollars US. What is Good Rx and why otherwise $ 288 dollars for an easily produced generic drug?

  4. 2

    Looks like Busch series to me, the minor leagues of NASCAR, which itself is bleeding fans right and left.

    1. 1.1

      There are few other places in modern society where you can see that many trademarks all jammed into one place.

      Actually, though, this is about counterfeit product awareness – here’s the press release.

      1. 1.1.1

        “counterfeit product awareness”

        That would explain why the USPTO is paired with McGruff the Crime Dog.

    2. 1.2

      That was my first thought as well.

      Where is that traced to in the budget for this not-for-profit Executive Branch Administrative Agency (and sure as heck, such is not in its charter).

    3. 1.3

      This. Totally agree.

      I can kinda/sorta see why, say, the USPS has to engage in this type of advertising, since they compete with FedEx and UPS.

      But what’s the thinking behind having the USPTO self-promote?

          1. 1.3.1.1.1

            ^^^ Greg only shows that HE does not get the point of the earlier conversation.

            Since he posts in his real name, does he not have any friends that pull him aside and attempt to educate him?
