On 11 Sept. 08, IPBiz, in a post titled A must to avoid when in Baltimore , IPBiz recounted some of the horrors of a visit to Homewood Suites in Baltimore. The "good news" on a re-visit on 19 Nov. is that the toilet seat was in fact fastened down. The bad: Picture of fan. Bad news, also picture of fan with switch "on." Picture of phone. Bad news, this is not room 465. Picture of one tabletop. Those circles are "dug into" the top. Further bad news: the "desk" available for using a computer is a trapezoid of depth 1 foot to about 2 foot immediately below a pull out TV screen and immediately adjacent to a soft chair, basically suitable for someone under four feet tall using a microlaptop. Lex Luther, macaw, declined to pose on the chair by the desk, simply because he wouldn't fit, and otherwise did not want his tail crushed. A picture may follow if a suitable camera lens can be found. And, yes, the wind tunnel in the bathroom is still there. As time permits, an mpg file may be added. Those who fail to learn from the past are condemned to stay at the Homewood Suites.
I'm a patent lawyer located in central New Jersey. I have a J.D. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from Stanford University, where I studied graphite intercalation compounds at the Center for Materials Research. I worked at Exxon Corporate Research in areas ranging from engine deposits through coal and petroleum to fullerenes. An article that I wrote in The Trademark Reporter, 1994, 84, 379-407 on color trademarks was cited by Supreme Court in Qualitex v. Jacobson, 514 US 159 (1995) and the methodology was adopted
in the Capri case in N.D. Ill. An article that I wrote on DNA profiling was cited by the Colorado Supreme Court (Shreck case) and a Florida appellate court (Brim case). I was interviewed by NHK-TV about the Jan-Hendrik Schon affair. I am developing ipABC, an entity that combines rigorous IP analytics with study of business models, to optimize utilization of intellectual property. I can be reached at C8AsF5 at yahoo.com.
