How does LitWatch differ from Pacer?

LitWatch
Pacer is an interface to certain federal courts that make some information available electronically via the Internet. For the most part, only "docket" information is available through Pacer, not the substance or content of the documents in the court files. LitWatch regularly covers the leading state and federal courts where important commercial litigation is most likely to be filed, regardless of whether such courts are accessible electronically.

How does LitWatch differ from CourtLink?

LitWatch
CourtLink is primarily an interface to Pacer and other electronic links to some state and federal courts that provide electronic access to court records. CourtLink does not provide original stories or content. In addition, expensive and slow "fetching" services are typically used to obtain litigation documents. LitWatch is faster, contains original, edited content, and includes expert analysis -- it's also cheaper.

Question: What does it mean to take all reasonable steps to protect a trademark?

FAQ about Trademark -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
Answer: If a trademark owner fails to police his or her mark, the owner may be deemed to have abandoned the mark or acquiesced in its misuse. A trademark is only protected while it serves to identify the source of goods or services. If a trademark owner believes someone is infringing his or her trademark, the first thing the owner is likely to do is to write a "cease-and-desist" letter which asks the accused infringer to stop using the trademark.

Question: What does the PTO's refusal to register a trademark mean?

FAQ about Trademark -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
Answer: The Trademark Office can reject a proposed mark for a number of reasons, for example, that the term does not function as a trademark (does not identify the source of goods or services), that the term is generic for the goods or services, or that the term is likely to cause confusion with an existing registered mark. Further, an application might be rejected because of non-compliance with procedural rules, such as improperly specifying the class in which the mark is used.

What does it mean to have a trademark or service mark?

Legal Questions about Business, Copyright, Trademark, Franch...
These marks are a form of short hand that tells the public that a product or service comes from a certain source. We are surrounded by these marks. For instance, if you see the mark of "Apple" you most likely think of computers. And if you see the mark "Kodak," you likely think of a product that is connected with photography. Both of these are very "strong" marks and are therefore accorded a high level of protection by federal trademark law.
