July 9, 2011. The Problem? Amazon

filed its suit against the online
retail giant alleging trademark
infringement over the name of the
storefront, which sells apps for
Google's Android operating system
found on smartphones and

Amazon.com's use of the term
"appstore" in a ruling by an
Oakland federal
judge.

U.S.
District Judge Phyllis Hamilton
ruled Wednesday that she didn't
agree with Amazon's argument that
the names "app store" and
"appstore" are generic and can be
used by anybody, but she said
Apple had failed to show "a
likelihood of confusion" for
customers who use the Apple App

Fargo vs Pension Fund
$125M
Settlement.

•
June 31st Week: Wells Fargo
& Co. agreed to pay $125
million to investors in its
mortgage-backed securities who
alleged that before the Great
Recession hit, they were misled
about how much equity the
borrowers had in their
homes.
•••
'WellsFargo']The
proposed settlement, filed
Wednesday in federal court in San
Jose, ended consolidated lawsuits
filed by the pension funds of
Alameda County, Detroit, New
Orleans, Guam, the Louisiana
sheriffs and other
plaintiffs.
•••
At
issue were mortgage-backed
securities -- financial
instruments derived from a pool
of mortgages -- whose value
depended on borrowers' payments
on loans made at the peak of the
housing bubble in 2006 and
2007.
•••
Certain
other claims over mortgage
securities filed by Charles
Schwab Corp. and the Federal Home
Loan Banks of Chicago and
Indianapolis are excluded from
the class, Wells Fargo has said
in regulatory
filings.
•••
The
litigation named as defendants
Wells Fargo and about 20 trusts
holding mortgages backing $8
billion in securities, along with
various Wall Street banks and
credit-rating agencies involved
in issuing the mortgage
bonds.
•••
The
proposed settlement, which still
requires judicial approval, did
not include any admission of
wrongdoing by Wells Fargo. A
spokesman for the San Francisco
bank said the intent was to avoid
the expense and risk of further
litigation.

Will the new California tax

Your Monthly Phone Bill? YES, it
might HAPPEN. Part of California
budget-related legislation -- is
expected to raise an estimated
$317 million a year in new state
and local government revenue.
•••
Other
states currently are considering
similar sales tax collection
bills.
•••
California's
new law was drafted to circumvent
a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling
that sellers can't be forced to
collect sales taxes unless they
have a physical presence in the
state.
•••
The new
statute would establish that
presence in two ways: when
sellers pay commissions to other
Internet sites in California,
known as affiliates, that refer
buyers; and when sellers have a
related company operating in the
state.
•••
One
affiliate, Ken Rockwell of San
Diego, the owner of a 12-year-old
photography website, said he
planned to move out of state.

106 WiTEL's Global Assets
®™© - Forever -
Minus a Day! By Mark Anderson,
PSI
•••
Since the moment I discovered
N.B. Stubblefield several years
ago, my job required me to
surround myself with his U.S.A.
Wireless
Telephone®™©
innovations. His NBS
wired-WiTEL®™©
innovation has been either in my
pocket, in my vehicle, or left at
home on table-top surfaces
amongst my wireless PC laptop, a
volume of a Smart-Daaf Boys book
about the effluvia of NBS, and a
stack of Invoices worth
$Billions.
•••
Since the moment I discovered NBS
WiTEL®™©? No, not
even. Before I could even call
myself a user of today's
WiTEL®™© iPhone,
CellPhone, WiFi, or whatever
you'd like to call it, I needed
to know who was paying for the
various software, and Service
Mark ®™© fees that
made the thing work. Also --
was a phone number, and antenna
necessary?
 •••
This was to become an essential
part of me . . . like, "as to why
the sky was blue." What were
the components, elements and
effects of wired-wireless.
• Are AT&T's, Bell,
Edison, and NBS WiTEL's -- 100
year old service marks
®™© really viable
forever - minus a day? . . . It
had to be understood.
•
It was the late Jack Valenti,
who
was Hollywood's ubiquitous
lobbyist that helped set the
record straight. He was all about
protecting the service marks
®™© -- and
licensing fees due to those
"certain 60 year old Show Biz
film related intellectual
property right owners, he was
representing. The proper term,
Valenti would always say is,
"forever, minus a day."
•••
It was free enterprisers Ted
Turner, and Troy
Cory-Stubblefield; and educators
like Dr. Molfield and Dr. Horton
of Murray State University,
(MSU), that helped perfect
Valenti's colorful service marks
Validation; ®™© are
"forever, minus a day."
•••
Together, it took the group along
with organizations like MPPA,
SAG, CITA, and even the Kentucky
Colonels, only a couple of years
to convince Congress and
intellectual property asset
owners to fully appreciate and
agree that copyright terms should
be limited. Valenti would always
remind the Pres. Johnson White
House staff, the proper term for
®™©, was, and still
is, "forever, minus a day."
•
Murray State University,
Kentucky
•••
The NBS WiTEL®™©
organization got started, in
1902. In 1930 -- the city of
Murray, Kentucky, not only
dedicated a monument, and
journalistic PR structure on the
MSU campus, but they purposely
did so . . . to carry-on, and
sell the NBS
WiTEL®™© valuable
Service marks - "forever, minus
three days." One day for
"©," - day two for "™,"
-- and day three for "®."
•
Like
Ted Turner, Troy
Cory-Stubblefield followed the
MSU pattern in Hollywood. Turner
bought a million dollar film
library, updated the copyrights
by colorizing his MGM film
product, then digitized the
Classic Film product -- to create
a superior earning power. NBS
WiTEL®™©, headed by
Troy and Josie Cory, bought Vine
Street Studio and Rosemont
Studios, founded VRA TelePlay
Pictures, and formed the Cinema
Prize Award organization.
•••
As you can see, within a
four-decade span, not only was a
new HiTech DVD/CD lasar format
born, but a new WITEL smartphone
Service Marks ®™©
vContent distribution system
model was created by Sony of
Japan -- for the Film maker.
•••
Those certain trademarks owners
include Hollywood's major
studios, Warner Bros., MGM, Sony,
Disney, Paramont, NBS WiTEL, and
their producers, heirs, writers,
stockholders, and members of the
Motion Picture Producers
Association (MPPA).

6 Dumb Ways to Kill A Deal
&endash; and 1 Great Way to
Validate
•••
It has been only recently that I
could comfortably sit at my desk
-- and speak knowingly and
intelligently back and forth into
the offices in far away places,
asking those AT&T, Verizon,
T-mobile and Sprint executives
who knew, or should have known
about the; "forever, minus a day"
Validation Theory.
•••
Confirming "How Many WiTEL
customers are users of their
"™" was the easy part of
Q&A sessions. So was the
validating of -- "How Many of
their WiTEL users are paying more
than $30.00 per month for
"©" fees. AT&T took the
®™© "Validation
Theme" the hardest. Paying $5.00
to $10.00 per month as a
recurring licensing fee for
utilizing the service mark
®™© owned by JAVA,
Microsoft, and NBS WiTEL for the
use of their ®™©
WiTEL, might be the best
solution, say legal experts.

Q&A - Rober Roche. CITA
leading to the best way -- to
Validate
®™©
•••
I usually feel the same cinematic
magic resaoning of Valenti, and
Turner when I'm personally
speaking via
WiTEL®™© -- to the
educators, and authors of
wireless literature like: Robert
Roche, of the CITA, Prof. Bob
Lochte of MSU, and to author,
Troy Cory-Stubblefield.
•••
My first Question to both -
Robert Roche, and Prof Bob
Lochte, of Murray State U, and to
Troy Cory, the grandson of N.B.
Stubblefield -- went something
like this:
•••
Hi, Mr. Roche, it's always a
pleasure speaking with
you, your quote on this
topic is needed for educational
purposes.
•••
Question 1.
Technologically speaking,
would you say, "the only
components and elements needed to
make a "Wireless
Telephone" would be:
•••
(1) - a Microphone - "to talk";
• (2) - an Earphone - "to
listen"; • (3) - an Antenna
- "to transmit and receive voice,
music and message"; • (4) -
a Battery - "to energize the
trans-receiver apparatus," and
• (5) - a Switch,
Switchboard or finger component -
"to dial phone numbers."
 •••
Answer: Certainly the
first four items are components
of a wireless phone -- though
wireless-enabled laptops or
netbooks are also wireless
devices, which may or may not
necessarily include a microphone
(though you can often acquire
such accessories).
•••
Wireless devices --
feature phones, or other
wireless-enabled devices, such as
wireless-enabled laptops, PDAs,
netbooks, tablets, and
smartphones -- have effectively
put the power of voice and data
communications in the hands of
millions of users in the U.S. and
billions of people around the
world. These devices have
brought the Internet to people,
rather than places (in other
words, they have given people
mobile Internet access).
•••
The International
Telecommunications Union (ITU)
has reported that there were an
estimated 4.6 billion wireless
subscriptions around the world as
of the end of 2009. •
CLICK
FOR MORE
INFO:
At that point in time, the U.S.
had 285.6 million active wireless
subscriptions (based on CTIA's
measurements). By June 2010,
wireless subscribership in the
U.S. had risen to 292.8 million.

tvinews+
INFO:
 •••
Now, not every one of those
subscriptions -- in the world or
in the U.S. -- reflects a
single, unique individual. Some
folks have two or more devices
capable of being simultaneously
active (such as a cellphone and a
wireless-enabled laptop).
•••
The Pew Internet & American
Life Project has measured how
people use and think about their
wireless devices in a number of
reports, looking at both adults
and teens. •
CLICK
FOR MORE PEW INFO:
•••
In the U.S. and around the world,
these devices have empowered
people to connect socially and
economically with each other on
many levels and having made
possible political changes in
places like the Philippines where
they helped "people power" change
the government. They have also
made possible heroic actions and
contributions, speeding
assistance in response to
emergencies both large and small,
from roadside rescues to
hurricane and earthquake
responses.
•••
These devices form parts of
systems, to which they are
connected by radio-waves, (EMW).

"I hope this helps." An
explanation of these systems can

Today's Patent Mess -
"Discoveries" vs. "Inventions,"
-- & SpyKing90.com.
•••
Service Mark Law -- which
includes all service marks, both
unregistered, and U.S.A.
registered (®™©),
used to have no problem
distinguishing between -
Patentable - "DISCOVERIES" -- and
the word "INVENTIONS." Today, it
depends how the effects and the
elements of the inventions
"Trademark" and "Copyrights" --
play out.
•••
"DISCOVERIES" -- which used to be
elucidations of the natural
world, were not patentable. The
word "INVENTION" denoted items
that were creations of evident
utility, and were patentable.
Over the last few decades that
distinction has been eroded,
under pressure from commercial
interests.
•
Today, a company can patent
portions of a DNA molecule,
--
even
if it has no idea what that
sequence does; pharmaceutical
companies can patent natural
organisms if they can claim a new
way to isolate and purify
them.
•••
Because of the widespread use of
the effects, elements, and
components of the Wireless
Telephone®™© mark,
"the NBS WiTEL Trust organization
just recently filed its secondary
meaning on September 10th and
13th respectfully," said
Stubblefield. "Said action was
necessary to attach itself to the
original Service Marks registered
in same name and mark,
established in 1898 and 1907
respectfully.
•••
This helps to explain as to why,
and how "business methods" - like
"SpyKing.com," "Stubbyte.com" and
"WiTEL Global," can . . . and
have applied for NEW patent and
other new service marks status to
protect its 100 year old batch of
updated WiTEL®™©
service marks.
•••
The new service marks includes
its claim to all
WiTEL®™© phone
numbers, now valued at several
$Billions of dollars per
month.
•••
The new NBS Trust's "SpyKing.com"
patent, also backs-up the recent
FTC "Red Flags Rule -- the law
enacted by Congress to help out
in the prevention of ID theft, in
the Buy/Sell world of Credit
Cards, used to purchase valid
Goods, Products, Service with
legal title.

102-106 The Kingsbury Commitment
1913
/
• • • • • • •
The
Kingsbury Commitment of 1913
formalized AT&T's monopoly.
The Bell System and Independent
telephone companies reduced
competition out of concern for
government intervention. The
government had been increasingly
worried that AT&T and the
other Bell Companies were
monopolizing the
industry.
••• Under
Theodore N. Vail from 1907
AT&T had bought
Bell-associated companies and
organized them into new
hierarchies. AT&T had also
acquired many of the
independents, and bought control
of Western Union, giving it a
monopolistic position in both
telephone and telegraph
communication. A key strategy was
to refuse to connect its long
distance network --
technologically, by far the
finest and most extensive in the
land -- with local independent
carriers. Without the prospect of
long distance services, the
market position of many
independents became untenable.
Vail stated that there should be
"one policy, one system
[AT&T's] and
universal service, no collection
of separate companies could give
the public the service that
[the] Bell... system
could
give."
••• AT&T's
strategies prompted complaints
and attracted the attention of
the Justice Department. Faced
with a government investigation
for antitrust violations,
AT&T entered into
negotiations.
••• In
the Kingsbury Commitment,
actually a letter from AT&T
Vice President Nathan Kingsbury
of December 19, AT&T agreed
with the Attorney General to
divest itself of Western Union,
to provide long distance services
to independent exchanges under
certain conditions and to refrain
from acquisitions if the
Interstate Commerce Commission
objected.
••• The
Commitment did not settle all the
differences between independents
and Bell companies and averted
the federal takeover many had
expected. However the Commitment
played into AT&T's hands -
the company was allowed to buy
market-share, as long as it sold
an equal number of phones.
Critically, while with the
Kingsbury Commitment, AT&T
agreed to connect its long
distance service to independent
local carriers, it did not agree
to interconnect its local
services with other local
providers. Nor did AT&T agree
to any interconnection with
independent long distance
carriers.
••• Consequently,
AT&T was able to consolidate
its control over both the most
profitable urban markets and long
distance traffic. Between 1921
and 1934, the ICC approved 271 of
the 274 purchase requests of
AT&T.
••• WikiPedia
notes, that the entire network
was nationalized during World War
I from June 1918 to July 1919.
Following re-privatization,
AT&T resumed its
near-monopoly position. In 1934,
the government acted to set
AT&T up as a regulated
monopoly under the jurisdiction
of the Federal Communications
Commission. This was maintained
until AT&T's divestiture in
1984.

In late 2006 Google introduced
"click to call" which enables a
person to place a telephone call
over the Internet by clicking on

In September 2005, Los
Angeles-based VoIP unit VoiceOne
Communications agreed to provide
"click to call" technology to
Google, VoIP said.
•••
In January 2007, Google said it
was terminating the agreement,
citing a purported unauthorized
disclosure that identified Google
as a VoiceOne Customer, according
to the lawsuit.
•
A similar suit brought in July
2009 in Los Angeles Superior
Court was dismissed without
prejudice within five months.

•••
This isn't the first
communications-related suit
brought against the search engine
company, says the NBS Wireless

Frontier Communications, a

106-Palin
USPTO Trademark Request Rejected.
Why? "Sarah Palin's
T-Parties" / "The Bristol Dance
Step"
•••
The
former Alaska governor Sarah
Palin's bid to trademark both her
name and that of her daughter
Bristol ran into trouble
at the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) because the
the application forms were not
signed, government records
show.
•••
"Everybody's
Name is sort of their brand, and
once it gets associated with
goods or services, then it
functions as a trademark," says
Seattle lawyer Marshall J.
Nelson. Once a name is
trademarked, it gives the holder
additional remedies to recover
profits and damages if someone
uses the name
inappropriately.
•••
That
holds true for politicians
as well as
entertainers.
•••
"The
fact that you happen to be a
political figure certainly
doesn't prevent you from
identifying your name in
connection with your products,"
Nelson reported to the press,
noting that one of the earliest
trademarks in U.S. history was
granted to Paul Revere for his
pots and pans -- something that
lives on today with Revere
cooking products.
•••
Both
of the Palins' trademark
applications state: "The mark
consists of standard characters,
without claim to any particular
font, style, size, or color."
•
Sarah Palin listed usage of the
trademark? ---
Palin
cited -- a InterNet Website
featuring information about
political elections; political
issues; and educational and
entertainment services, including
motivational speaking in the
fields of politics, culture,
business and values.
•
The Next step after paying the
$360.00 TM Application Fee, is
--
for
the USPTO Office to offer STEP
TWO - proving-up the reasons of
filing, and the commercial value
of said
®™.
The initially denying the
application-- IS PART of the
routine, - seeking more
--
information, the USPTO
office noted that neither Palin
signed her application, a
requirement.
•••
The
office also said Sarah Palin's
request under political elections
needed more examples of usage
rather than the submitted a grab
of a Web page featuring a news
article about Fox News hiring her
as a consultant.
•••
The
USPTO is also seeking more
examples of usage of the name for
the political issues section,
other than postings on her
Facebook page. This "does not
show use of the mark as
'providing a website featuring
http://sarahpalin.com/." Rather
the proposed mark merely appears
as a posting name," USPTO
examing attorney Karen K. Bush
wrote. As of Feb. 6th, the
Website reads, "This page

The

seeking additional details for
the Bristol Palin application
submitted in September - 2010, a
contestant on ABC's "Dancing with
the Stars."
• Palin's attorney,
John J. Tiemessen, said Friday,
Feb. 4th, that he has six months
to provide the information.

"We
are preparing to respond to all
their questions for both," he
told The Associated Press by

Fairbanks.
••• He
said he couldn't disclose the
reasons why both applied for
trademarks because of
attorney-client privilege.
••• But
Seattle lawyer Marshall J.
Nelson, is with the firm Davis
Wright Tremaine LLP, says it's
not that unusual for entertainers
to trademark their names.
•
The
former Alaska governor and 2008
Republican vice presidential
candidate for the president of
the U.S. - was thrust into the
national spotlight shortly after
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., picked
Palin as his running mat, and
Palin announced her unwed,
teenage daughter was
pregnant.
•••
She
has since become a spokeswoman
for an organization that seeks to
motivate young people to prevent
teen pregnancy. Her trademark
application cited motivational
speaking services in the field of
life choices.
•••
The
younger Bristol Palin's
appearance on a panel discussing
abstinence at Washington
University in St. Louis was
canceled this month after
students expressed outrage she
would be paid from
student-generated
funds.•

The
federal office is seeking more
information and examples of
usage. The USPTO office said,
"Please note this refusal will be
withdrawn if applicant provides
written consent from the
individual identified in the
applied-for
mark."

show that her name had been used

BofA
appointed on Friday Feb 4th, a
new foreclosure, loan
modifications, and collection
division. The new unit will
oversee "Problem Loans" in a bid
to sort out its ongoing
foreclosure, and Title issues,
becoming the first large U.S.
bank to do so, especially after
the Country-Wide buyout.
•••
The new
unit creates a seventh major
division at the bank reporting
directly to Chief Executive Brian
Moynihan, an indication that the
largest U.S. mortgage servicer is
attempting to be more aggressive
in resolving its problem loan
portfolio.
•••
Analysts
said the move is a signal that
major U.S. mortgage lenders have
not yet turned the corner on
dealing with the problem home
loans on their books.
•••
"This is a
significant step. If Bank of
America has these issues, what
kind of problems does everyone
else have?" said Matt McCormick,
a Cincinnati-based portfolio
manager at Bahl & Gaynor
Investment Counsel Inc.
•••
The change
splits the bank's mortgage
business into two parts: one
focused on current and new
mortgages, and the other on
property we now have title, by a
forclosure that are not covered
BY the "ONE SATISFACTION
RULE."
•••
Bank of
America, the largest U.S. bank by
assets, named Terry Laughlin to
oversee the new unit, called
legacy asset servicing. The
division will have roughly 30,000
employees.
•••
The new
unit will manage foreclosures and
loan modifications, and will work
to resolve mortgage repurchase
claims from investors, not
covered BY the "ONE SATISFACTION
RULE.".
•••
Last fall,
when the FTC's Red Flag,
anti-theft prevention act came
into play, the bank temporarily
suspended foreclosures after
critics alleged the industry cut
corners on foreclosure paperwork
and used so-called robo-signers,
employees who signed thousands of

106The Kingsbury
Commitment
1913
/
The
Kingsbury Commitment of 1913
formalized AT&T's monopoly.
The Bell System and Independent
telephone companies reduced
competition out of concern for
government intervention. The
government had been increasingly
worried that AT&T and the
other Bell Companies were
monopolizing the
industry.
••• Under
Theodore N. Vail from 1907
AT&T had bought
Bell-associated companies and
organized them into new
hierarchies. AT&T had also
acquired many of the
independents, and bought control
of Western Union, giving it a
monopolistic position in both
telephone and telegraph
communication. A key strategy was
to refuse to connect its long
distance network --
technologically, by far the
finest and most extensive in the
land -- with local independent
carriers. Without the prospect of
long distance services, the
market position of many
independents became untenable.
Vail stated that there should be
"one policy, one system
[AT&T's] and
universal service, no collection
of separate companies could give
the public the service that
[the] Bell... system
could
give."
••• AT&T's
strategies prompted complaints
and attracted the attention of
the Justice Department. Faced
with a government investigation
for antitrust violations,
AT&T entered into
negotiations.
••• In
the Kingsbury Commitment,
actually a letter from AT&T
Vice President Nathan Kingsbury
of December 19, AT&T agreed
with the Attorney General to
divest itself of Western Union,
to provide long distance services
to independent exchanges under
certain conditions and to refrain
from acquisitions if the
Interstate Commerce Commission
objected.
••• The
Commitment did not settle all the
differences between independents
and Bell companies and averted
the federal takeover many had
expected. However the Commitment
played into AT&T's hands -
the company was allowed to buy
market-share, as long as it sold
an equal number of phones.
Critically, while with the
Kingsbury Commitment, AT&T
agreed to connect its long
distance service to independent
local carriers, it did not agree
to interconnect its local
services with other local
providers. Nor did AT&T agree
to any interconnection with
independent long distance
carriers.
••• Consequently,
AT&T was able to consolidate
its control over both the most
profitable urban markets and long
distance traffic. Between 1921
and 1934, the ICC approved 271 of
the 274 purchase requests of
AT&T.
••• WikiPedia
notes, that the entire network
was nationalized during World War
I from June 1918 to July 1919.
Following re-privatization,
AT&T resumed its
near-monopoly position. In 1934,
the government acted to set
AT&T up as a regulated
monopoly under the jurisdiction
of the Federal Communications
Commission. This was maintained
until AT&T's divestiture in
1984.

• 106p "The First Sale
Doctrine" - Omega vs. Costco
•••
Servicemarked items with a
registered ®™©
symbol after a U.S.A. Logo made
in the U.S.A. the name of USAins,
goods, products, and services are
the items that is causes a
infringement problem in America.
The rules of registering a
Copyright, Trademark, or Patent,
says a recent court
order.
•••
In the Omega vs. Costco case
ruling, it was ordered that the
law applies only to items
purchased inside the U.S. only,
not made. Still
confused?
•••
In the maker/sales ruling between
Omega against Costco, the the
U.S. 9th Circuit decision ruled
against Costco, regarding resale
rights. Still confused?
• The "First Sale"
Copyright Doctrine Law gives
publishers like --
Record labels and other
creators unusual loosely control
over the works they produce. BUT
. . . It also includes an
important balancing principle:
Much of that control BLEACHES OUT
OF CONTROL . . . once a work has
been sold . . . it leaves"first
sale" buyers free to resell,
rent, lend or give away their
purchases. This "first sale"
doctrine provides a crucial legal
umbrella for libraries and
secondhand stores, to name just a
few of the
beneficiaries.
•
The
"First Sale" Copyright Law
Doesn't Apply to --
items purchased outside the
U.S. The doctrine has been
undermined, however, by new
technology and court rulings. One
example of the latter is the U.S.
9th Circuit Court of Appeals'
decision that the first-sale rule
doesn't apply to items purchased
outside the U.S. An appeal to the
Supreme Court foundered this
week, when the eight justices who
heard the case announced that
they were irrevocably
splitorder.
•••Did
Costco of violate a LOGO TM
provision in the 1976 Copyright
Act --
that bars the unauthorized
importation copyrighted works in
quantity manufactured by Omega?
• The watches THEMSELVES had
a copyrighted logo engraved on
the back, giving Omega the legal
basis to sue Costco for
infringement.
• THE COURT RULED THAT: .
. .
no copyrighted product
manufactured outside the U.S. can
be imported without the copyright
owner's permission. The issue was
whether big-box retailer Costco
could sell discounted Swiss Omega
watches obtained from companies
that had purchased them outside
the
U.Sorder.
•
THE WINNER WAS -- Omega!
•
The 9th Circuit agreed with Omega
that this provision trumped the
first-sale doctrine. With limited
exceptions for personal,
nonprofit or governmental
useorder.
•••The
ruling could help manufacturers
of goods, procucts, -- and
services combat "gray market"
imports, allowing folks like --
Omega to lower their prices in
countries with lower incomes,
like China does, without fear of
the goods being shipped out of
one country into another, then
resold at a discount in the
U.S.
•- THE
SOLUTION!.
•••Companies
like Omega doesn't need copyright
law to address that problem.
Omega can resolve there problem
by signing contracts that bar
local retailers from exporting
their inventory to resellers.
DOING WHAT NBS
WiTEL®™© DOES
BEST!.
•••Narrowing
the first-sale doctrine just to
items made in the U.S. encourages
copyright holders to manufacture
their goods, products, and
services, like NBS'
WirelessTelephone.org
WiTEL®™© phone
numbers elsewhere in order to
prevent the sale of used or
redistributed
goods.
•••Those
markets are huge, generating as
much as $60 billion in sales
annually. Libraries, EBay sellers
and many discount NBS Wireless
Telephone®™©
unlicensed retailers also will be
forced to trace the goods they
buy back to the factories just to
avoid being hit with a lawsuit
for unwittingly
infringing.
•••That's
just the sort of expansion of
copyrights the courts should be
guarding against, but they failed
to do so in the Costco case. The
first-sale doctrine is a valuable
counterbalance to copyright
owners' power, and Congress
should make sure that it applies
no matter where the sale is
made.

- Owner of Paramount and MTV
asserts that the video site's

bounds to build traffic quickly
so they could sell the site for a
huge sum. YouTube owner Google
vows to fight the appeal.
•••
- Media giant Viacom Inc. has
challenged a June ruling that
video website YouTube did not
violate federal copyright laws
when it allowed users to upload
thousands of pirated clips to the
wildly popular site.
•••
- In a 72-page appeal filed
Friday, Viacom asserted that
YouTube's founders aggressively
operated outside legal bounds in
an effort to build traffic
quickly so they could sell the
site for a huge sum. Google Inc.
bought YouTube in October 2006
for $1.65 billion.
•••
- The stakes are high. Media
industry executives view Viacom's
copyright infringement lawsuit,
filed three years ago, as an
important case to establish
ground rules to protect the
digital distribution of
copyrighted material.
•••
- Viacom, which owns movie studio
Paramount Pictures and popular
cable TV channels including MTV,
Comedy Central and Nickelodeon,
worries that its businesses would
suffer if Internet sites have
little incentive to safeguard
against the use of other
companies' copyrighted
content.
•••
- Viacom maintained that, if
allowed to stand, the district
court ruling would "severely
impair, if not completely
destroy, the value of many
copyrighted creations."
•••
- The media company had demanded
more than $1 billion in damages.
But U.S. District Judge Louis
Stanton of the Southern District
of New York ruled against Viacom
in June, determining that YouTube
operated within a "safe harbor"
provision of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act because
it promptly removed pirated
videos after being notified of a
violation.
•••
- At the time, Internet advocates
hailed Stanton's ruling as an
affirmation of free expression
and the growth of the Internet.
Viacom wanted to enforce a system
in which YouTube and other video
websites would have to determine
who owned the rights to material
before it was posted.
•••
- Viacom believes Stanton
misinterpreted the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act, and it
provided internal YouTube e-mails
to illustrate that YouTube's
founders were aware of the
rampant piracy. The media company
alleged that YouTube allowed
clips to be posted from "The
Daily Show," "MTV Cribs," "South
Park" and other professionally
produced shows to help build
interest in the site.
•••
- Viacom offered several e-mails
as examples of YouTube's
practices, including one in which
a YouTube founder instructed
colleagues to "Concentrate all of
our efforts in building up our
numbers as aggressively as we can
through whatever tactics, however
evil." Current owner Google Inc.
has said it has taken steps to
monitor the site and initiated a
content identification system to
more effectively ferret out
copyrighted works.
•••
- "We regret that Viacom
continues to drag out this case,"
Google said in a statement. "The
court here, like every other
court to have considered the
issue, correctly ruled that the
law protects online services like
YouTube, which remove content
when notified by the copyright
holder that it is unauthorized.
We will strongly defend the
court's decision on appeal."
•••
- Google has said it has spent
$100 million to defend against
the suit. Viacom recently hired
former U.S. Solicitor Gen. Ted
Olson to help guide its
appeal.

suit

A federal
jury in Oakland delivers the
judgment against German business
software maker SAP in a case that
began in
2007.
•••
Oracle
Corp. won a $1.3-billion verdict
Tuesday in a lawsuit in which it
alleged that German business
software maker SAP infringed on
the copyright of the Redwood
Shores, Calif.,
company.
•••
The
verdict in the high-profile
federal court case is one of the
largest ever for copyright
infringement. The eight-person
jury in Oakland awarded the
damages one day after the
companies presented closing
arguments.
•••
Oracle
sued SAP in 2007 claiming that
SAP's now-defunct U.S. business
software unit, TomorrowNow,
illegally downloaded Oracle
software and documents to support
Oracle's customers. SAP bought
TomorrowNow in 2005 and closed it
in
2008.
•••
SAP did
not contest that it was liable
for the infringement, but
estimated that it owed $28
million to $41 million to Oracle.
Oracle, however, claimed that SAP
owed as much as $3
billion.
•••
"For more
than three years, SAP stole
thousands of copies of Oracle
software and then resold that
software and related services to
Oracle's own customers," Oracle
President Safra Catz said. The
trial, she said, "made it clear
that SAP's most senior executives
were aware of the illegal
activity from the very
beginning."
•••
An SAP
spokesman said the company was
"disappointed" by the verdict and
"will pursue all available
options."
•••
"This will
unfortunately be a prolonged
process, and we continue to hope
that the matter can be resolved
appropriately without more years
of litigation," spokesman Saswato
Das said.

• 106 Sintrends: Former KB
Home CEO Bruce Karatz
sentenced
 •
The highly watched
Options-Backdating Fraud Case --
brought on an Eight months of
house arrest for the former KB
Home CEO chief, Bruce Karatz.
http://www.smart90.com/wtqca.com/authority.htm
U.S.
Federal District Judge Otis D.
Wright II --
also sentenced Karatz
to five years' probation., and
fined the former executive $1
million and ordered him to
perform 2,000 hours of community
service.
After the
former KB Home CEO chief, Bruce
Karatz --
was sentenced in Los
Angeles, Karatz kissed his wife,
Lilly Tartikoff, and embraced
relieved supporters who included
his KB founder and billionaire
Eli Broad, former Los Angeles
Mayor Richard J. Riordan and
Father Greg Boyle, director of
gang intervention program
Homeboy.
• The Options-Backdating
Fraud Case --
ruined Karatz.
His 20-year run as chief
executive of home-building giant
KB Home was derailed by
allegations that he manipulated
the value of stock options, was
sentenced on November10, 2010, to
five years' probation, including
the eight months of house
arrest.
•••
•- Wright rejected
prosecutors' request for a
lengthy prison sentence, noting
that there was no evidence that
the crimes damaged KB Home or its
shareholders.
•••
•- Karatz, 65, was convicted
in April on charges that he lied
about the Westwood-based
company's practice of backdating
options.
•••
•- Prosecutors said the
misinformation was given to KB
accountants and also appeared in
a 2006 quarterly report filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
•••
•- In a brief statement to
the judge before the sentence was
imposed, Karatz said the criminal
prosecution "has been the most
difficult time of my life." He
did not apologize.
•••
•- Karatz is one of the most
prominent corporate executives to
be prosecuted in the government's
long-running crackdown on options
backdating and one of the few to
be convicted.
• Only a handful have
received prison sentences.
•••
•- A federal probation
officer had recommended the
sentence that Wright imposed,
saying he was swayed by Karatz's
long history of philanthropy,
previously clean record and the
lack of a financial loss.
•••
•- "It was distressing to
read the tone of the government's
remarks," Wright said. "I think
it was mean-spirited and it was
beneath this office.
•••
•- "I and every other
federal judge took an oath that
we will administer justice and do
equal right to the poor and the
rich.
•••
•- Under the sentence,
Karatz will spend eight months
confined to his Bel-Air mansion
while monitored by a global
positioning satellite device.
•••
•- He declined to comment
about the sentence. Defense
attorney John Keker said no
decision had been made on
possibly appealing the
conviction.
Karatz served as KB Home's
chief from 1986 to 2006,

Sues U.S. to break Microsofts
Monopoly / P - 1
/.
••-
Google Inc. - is suing U.S. to
break the Software monopoly,
rival Microsoft Corp, and Adobe
has on the U.S. Government.
Google, the U.S. Department of
the Interior for allegedly
excluding Google's bid to provide
its e-mail system.
••-
Google sues U.S. over bidding for
e-mail contract
•- The
David Sarno report for the LA
Times reads that: Google's
lawsuit alleges the Interior
Department stacked the deck in
favor of Microsoft's e-mail
system.
••-
Google Inc., pushing to expand
its e-mail and cloud computing
business, took the federal
government to court to change a
bidding process that it said
stacks the deck in favor of rival
Microsoft Corp.
••-
Google, which has been battling
Microsoft across the country to
gain a foothold in the
$20-billion office software
market, sued the U.S. Department
of the Interior for allegedly
excluding Google's bid to provide
its e-mail system for the
agency's 88,000 employees.
••-
According to the lawsuit, the
U.S. Department of the
Interior
specified that it would consider
only systems that used
Microsoft's business e-mail
software, a limitation Google
called "unduly restrictive of
competition.
• •-
"Based on the risk assessments
and market research," the
Department of the
Interior
wrote in
its specifications, Microsoft's
software was the "only commercial
product that satisfies every
requirement identified by the
department.
••-
The suit, filed in the U.S. Court
of Federal Claims, (Nov-2010) 00
alleged that Interior violated a
federal law that mandates
government agencies to use open
and competitive procedures in
soliciting contracts. Google
seeks to halt the department's
process until it complies with
that law.
••-
"Google is a proponent of open
competition on the Internet and
in the technology sector in
general," said Google spokesman
Andrew Kovacs. "Here, a fair and
open process could save U.S.
taxpayers tens of millions of
dollars and result in better
services.
••-
Kendra Barkoff, a spokeswoman for
the federal agency, said the
department could not comment on
pending litigation.
••-
For several years, Google has
been battling to win territory in
the global market for office and
e-mail software, a sector
Microsoft has long dominated with
its Outlook and Office
products.
••-
To distinguish its offerings,
Google has long touted its
Internet cloud, an approach that
stores customers' e-mail and
documents in Google's remote data
centers rather than on servers
operated by businesses
themselves. The cloud approach
allows major customers to save
money by outsourcing their own
in-house e-mail systems.
••-
But Google has run into
difficulties in its attempts to
loosen the tight grip that
Redmond, Wash., software giant
Microsoft has on the e-mail
market, which includes decades of
relationships with some of the
world's largest businesses and
government agencies.

106
The German T-Mobile - AT&T
Deal . The AT&T Inc.
announced Sunday it would buy
T-Mobile USA in a cash and stock
deal worth $39 billion.
The
German T-Mobile - AT&T Deal
would combine two of the largest
U.S. wireless providers and build
a telecommunications behemoth
that would tower over Verizon
Wireless, the other leading
cellular network.
•••
The
merger would combine AT&T's
95.5 million wireless subscribers
with another 33.7 million from
T-Mobile, a division of the
German communications
conglomerate Deutsche
Telekom. With close to 130
million subscribers on a wireless
system that would combine the
vast national networks of both
companies, the resulting union
would far outstrip Verizon and
its 94.1 million customers.
•••
AT&T
suggested that increased
competition resulting from the
deal could benefit consumers but
did not explicitly say the plan
would mean lower prices for its
customers.

The German T-Mobile - AT&T
Deal .
•
••
"This
transaction represents a major
commitment to strengthen and
expand critical infrastructure
for our nation's future,"
AT&T Chief Executive Randall
Stephenson said in a
statement.•
•••
AT&T
highlighted the efficiency
savings it would garner from a
merger, given that both companies
use similar cellular technology
-- as opposed to a different
model used by Verizon -- and both
are planning to take similar
steps toward the next generation
of faster 4G networks.
•••
Part
of AT&T's gambit has to do
with the steep rise in the use of
data services by consumers with
sophisticated smart phones.
With many more users adopting
video-ready, Internet-connected
phones such as Apple's iPhone and
the many Google-powered Android
devices, demand for wireless
bandwidth among consumers is
quickly increasing, and the
industry has been struggling to
stay ahead of that demand.
•••
AT&T
said data traffic on its wireless
network had grown 8,000% over the
last four years.
•••
"Because
AT&T has led the U.S. in
smart phones, tablets and
e-readers -- and as a result,
mobile broadband -- it requires
additional spectrum before new
spectrum will become
available."
•••
Critics
quickly warned about the perils
of conglomeration, saying federal
regulators should scrutinize the
deal carefully lest it actually
lead to less market
flexibility.•••
"Don't
believe the hype: There is
nothing about having less
competition that will benefit
wireless consumers," said S.
Derek Turner, research director
at media industry watchdog Free
Press, in a statement.
•••
"A
market this concentrated -- where
the top four companies already
control 90% of the business, and
two of them want to merge --
means nothing but higher prices
and fewer choices, as the newly
engorged AT&T and Verizon
exert even more control over the
wireless Internet." /

THE LAW SUIT
•••
"The patents at LEGAL ISSUE
relate to a range
of functionality embodied in
Motorola's Android smartphone
devices that are essential to the
smartphone user experience,
including synchronizing e-mail,
calendars and contacts,
scheduling meetings, and
notifying applications of changes
in signal strength and battery
power," said Horacio Gutierrez,
Microsoft's (News - Alert)
corporate vice president and
deputy general counsel.
•••
"We have a responsibility to our
customers, partners, and
shareholders to safeguard the
billions of dollars we invest
each year in bringing innovative
software products and services to
market," he added, "Motorola
needs to stop its infringement of
our patented inventions in its
Android smartphones."
•••
Gutierrez explained that
smartphones have become an
integral part of people's daily
lives and are used for a variety
of tasks beyond making phone
calls; from watching video and
listening to music to staying in
touch with relatives or
friends.
•••
"The Microsoft innovations at
issue in this case help make
smartphones 'smart.' Indeed, our
patents relate to key features
that users have come to expect
from every smartphone. The
ability to send and receive
e-mail on-the-go has driven
smartphone adoption. Nowadays,
everyone expects to receive
e-mail from multiple services in
real time, to read it on their
phones, and to reply or send new
messages out &endash; in
continuous and seamless
synchronization with their e-mail
services. Microsoft's Exchange
ActiveSync, a proprietary
technology that we developed,
makes this possible," Gutierrez
said.
•••
"That Microsoft has important
patents in this area should not
surprise anyone &endash; we've
spent over 30 years developing
cutting-edge computer software,"
Gutierrez added. "The key value
proposition of smartphones has
moved from the radio stack to the
software stack, as people buy
smartphones because they are
fully functional computers that
fit in the palm of your hand.
With this shift, it is imperative
that companies address IP issues
related to the software that
makes possible this new class of
devices. The rules of the road
are long-established in the
software industry, and
fundamental to the industry's
growth and economic impact is
respect for others' intellectual
property rights."
•••
Microsoft's legal action seeks to
ensure its intellectual property
rights, and judging by the recent
actions by Apple and
Oracle (News - Alert),
Microsoft is not alone, Gutierrez
said.
•••
The Wall Street Journal reported
that Apple has sued an Android
phone maker, HTC for alleged
patent infringement, while Oracle
Corp. has sued Google
directly.
•••
If they're successful, the
lawsuits could lead to increased
costs for companies that use the
Android operating system,
according to the Journal.
•••
Motorola said it hadn't received
a copy of the new Microsoft legal
complaint, but added, "The
company will vigorously defend
itself in this matter."

Gov • Q
- Did Google's YouTube Really
Infringe on Viacom
Copyrights?
•••
NO,
Says. U.S. District Judge Louis
Stanton in New York ON Jun 24,
2010.
As
U.S.
District Judge Louis L. Stanton
in New York
explained, Congress recognized
that the Internet couldn't
function if broadband providers,
search engines and hosting
services were held liable for
every unauthorized copy made on
their networks. The Digital
Millennium Copyright Act of 1998
protected those companies from
liability as long as they acted
quickly to remove any infringing
material identified by copyright
holders.
•••
Viacom argued that YouTube didn't
qualify for this protection
because infringements were common
and central to the company's
fortunes. Echoing earlier
rulings, however, Judge Stanton
held that the law doesn't require
YouTube to police its network for
bootlegged videos. Instead, it
only has to remove the items
singled out by copyright holders.
That's sensible -- copyright
owners are far better positioned
to know whether a clip was used
legally or not. In fact, many of
the clips cited in the original
lawsuit weren't infringing. At
least 100 had been posted by
marketers employed by Viacom.
•••
Google
Inc.'s YouTube didn't violate
Viacom Inc. copyrights when
content including clips from its
MTV and Comedy Central cable
television channels were posted
on the video-sharing website, the
judge ruled.
•••
Judge
Stanton in New York said YouTube
wasn't liable for infringement.
Viacom, controlled by Sumner
Redstone, had sought at least $1
billion in damages, according to
a revised complaint filed in
April 2008.
•••
Stanton
agreed with YouTube that it was
protected by the safe-harbor
provision of the federal Digital
Millennium Copyright Act, which
says a service provider isn't
liable for infringement if it
removes material from its site
when notified by the copyright
owner.
•••
"The
provider must know of the
particular case before he can
control it," Stanton said in the
ruling. "The provider need not
monitor or seek out facts
indicating such
activity."
•••
More than
24 hours worth of video is
uploaded to the YouTube site
every minute, the judge said.
YouTube had a policy of removing
infringing content from its site
and banning users after three
such offenses, according to the
ruling.
••
•In
the past Hollywood Entertainment
producers, and their Associations
have asked the courts repeatedly
for help in coping with online
piracy, but the results have been
decidedly mixed.
••
•
Although judges have come down
hard on numerous file-sharing
networks and search engines that
specialize in bootlegs, they've
ruled in favor of several
websites whose content is
generated by users, even if it
wasn't authorized by the
copyright holders.
••
•
The latest may be the most
significant: Judge Stanton
dismissed Viacom allegations that
Google's YouTube had built its
business by turning a blind eye
to widespread copyright
infringements.
••
Both
companies asked Judge Stanton in
March to decide the case in their
favor without a trial. Viacom
said YouTube benefited
financially by allowing users to
post and share programs including
"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart"
and "South Park" on its website
without authorization. The
ruling, which Viacom plans to
appeal, reaffirmed the crucial
principle that online companies
should be held responsible for
what they do, not what others do
with their
services.
(Source: Bloomberg.
Harris/Jeffrey).
•••
The LA
Times reported that some
analysts assert that the ruling
increases the burden on
entertainment companies, but it
really just rebuffs another
effort to shift copyright
holders' responsibilities onto
the middlemen who have opened new
distribution pathways online.
••
•
Those efforts are
understandable, given how quickly
works can spread around the
world, and how many sites can
become unauthorized sources. But
speedy, low-cost distribution is
one of the great advantages of
the Internet, not a flaw.
••
•
Many entertainment
companies have come to accept
that reality, striking deals with
YouTube and others to generate
revenue from the material that
fans post online.
••
•
Meanwhile, YouTube and
its competitors are adding
filtering technologies that
enable this monetization, as well
as giving copyright holders more
say over what gets posted. That
kind of cooperation in the
marketplace is a more effective
response to online piracy than
years of futile litigation.

Q&A-FCC
Genachowski May 13, 2010,
During the noon-time, May 13,
2010, Q&A session with FCC
Chairman, Julius Genachowski, The
first question taken by the
Chairman was posed by
SMART-DAAF-Boys author,
performer, Troy,
Cory-Stubblefield of
TVINews.
••••
"Who created the Wireless
Telephone and its Service Marks
®™©" . . . and "How
does one follow and keep up with
the new defines and idioms given
to words such as: iPhones, Cell
Phones, Blackberries. etc,
etc.?"
••••
After the all important
Q&A session was over, Troy,
the grandson of Nathan B.
Stubblefield, the inventor of the
Wireless Telephone® invention
and its ®™© Service
Marks, said . . . "Today's
Wireless
Telephone®™© has
become a personal broadcast
medium.
••••
"The effects, and elements
of the Wireless
Telephone®™© . . .
has turned people into
mini-broadcasters. It has created
them into stars of their own TV
productions. Now all they have to
do, is understand the values of
getting a blanket to produce the
vContent they wish to play on
their show."

Troy points out that his
NBS organization along with
TVInews, Smart90.com, and VRA
TelePlay Pictures offer a
complete line of DVDs and CDs
that offer FREE use of its
Service Marks.

"They can play our
vContent, and have a boost of
confidence, that they are not
infringing on other individuals'

101FCC-NAB
and SpectrumsApr2010 /
April-2010. The Turf War between
Congress, Cable, Radio-TV,
WiTEL®™© and the
FCC is explained at NAB-Las
Vegas. Chairman Julius
Genachowski tries to ease NBA
members fears about giving up
airwaves to NBS
WiTEL®™© and Cable
operators.
•• •
The CEO of
NBS WiTEL®™©, Troy
Cory-Stubblefield found serious
problems with the FCC at least
five years ago before the
2006-2008 Auction sales to place
to AT&T, Verizon, and other
Telecoms. The warning showed
little concern - the the problems
of selling Spectrums without
identifying them with
WiTEL®™© phone
numbers to identify each phone
assigned a WiTEL®™©
phone number.
•• •
The lack
of action, exacerbated by a turf
battle between agencies, allowed
the shoddy Financing of the
Auction sales practives and risky
bets based on prior Radio-TV -
Wireless
Telephone®™© rules
of law since 1908, continued
until just months before the
Obama adminstration come into
being.
•• •
FCC
Chairman Julius Genachowski
called the So-called
retransmission consent disputes
took place in 1990, and have been
a regular occurrence in the
industry since Congress passed a
law almost 20 years ago allowing
broadcasters to seek financial
compensation from cable operators
in return for carrying their
signals. The tiffs have grown
uglier lately as broadcasters
have become more aggressive in
seeking fee
hikes.
•• •
Genachowski
said that the marketplace was the
preferred method to resolve these
issues, but that at the same time
he was not too pleased with
"sudden program interruptions"
and the potential for bigger
cable bills. "Some ask, Is 'free
TV' really free when cable rates
go up because of retransmission
fees?" he
said.
•• •
Time
Warner Cable Inc. and other
distributors have asked the FCC
to revisit the retransmission
consent rules, and the agency is
soliciting comments on the
topic.
•• •
Genachowski,
whose request for spectrum was
compared by NAB President Gordon
Smith to "The Godfather's" Vito
Corleone making people offers
they can't refuse, joked about
the comment when he took the
stage in Las Vegas. "All the good
restaurants have been offering to
comp me."
•
Battles over Carriage, and
WiTEL®™© Phone
Number fees between broadcasters
cable operators, and invioces
from WiTEL®™©.
•• •
Speaking
candedly to those NBA
broadcasters that the FCC was
going to seize spectrums from
existing broadcaters to sell them
to other telecommunications
companies was a myth. The goal of
the FCC's broadband plan, he
said, is not to "confiscate
broadcasters' spectrum and drive
broadcasters out of
business."
•• •
As part of
the FCC's broadband plan, which
was presented to Congress last
month, the agency has said it
would like broadcasters to
voluntarily return 120 megahertz
of spectrum, or airwaves,
allocated to TV stations to allow
for quicker mobile phones and
improved broadband service.
Broadcasters do not want to give
up their spectrum and say they
want to offer their own mobile
services, which could provide a
new revenue stream to prop up the
local TV business hurt by a loss
of advertising to the
Internet.
•• •
Although
Genachowski tried to assuage
fears that the FCC would force
broadcasters to cough up
spectrum, he said the situation
could become
dire.
•• •
"We're at
serious risk as a country in not
moving quickly enough on our
technology infrastructure and in
other areas to remain the world's
leader in
innovation."
•• •
This is
not "theory or idle speculation,"
he added. "It's math and
physics."
•• •
Spectrum wasn't the only
issue of concern that Genachowski
broached. He also talked about
recent fights between cable
operators and broadcasters over
fees that in some cases have led
to cable customers losing access
to local TV channels. That
happened in New York in March
when Walt Disney Co. briefly
pulled the signal of its WABC-TV
off Cablevision Systems in a
showdown over carriage
fees.

to ban imports of ink cartridges
by 11 companies.
•• •
Two of those companies

•• •
HP said it expects the
commission to rule in favor of
banning the importation of these
goods from the companies.

HP's ink business has long
been a cash cow, only recently
being supplanted as HP's most
profitable business by its
services division. HP's printer

personal computer division in the
last fiscal year, even though the

the tech giant--arguably best
known as a printer maker--had
filed its latest complaint with
the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC).
•• •
HP at that time roported
that several makers of cartridges
for use in inkjet printers were
infringing on HP patents by
importing and selling their
products in the United States.
Following an investigation by the
ITC, 11 different companies were
found to have violated patents
related to HP's 02 inkjet
cartridges.
•• •
Among the 11 companies
charged with patent infringement,
InkPlusToner.com and Comptree Ink
reached settlements with HP. Both
have paid HP an undisclosed
amount in damages and have
promised to stop selling the
compatible 02 cartridges in the
U.S. HP added that it expects to
reach a similar agreement with
SmartOne
Services.
•• •
The ITC also approved the
request of another company,
Zhuhai Gree Magneto-Electric, to
stop the investigation into
alleged patent violations as long
as it promises not to import or
sell future compatible inkjet
products in the U.S. Finally, HP
said it expects the remaining
seven companies to receive
notices from the ITC ordering
them to stop importing and
selling the cartridges in
question.
•• •
HP is pleased with the
outcome on these matters, and
remains committed to vigorously
pursuing legal enforcement
against practices that do not
respect HP's IP [intellectual
property] rights," said
Stephen Nigro, HP's senior vice
president for Inkjet and Web
Services Business, Imaging and
Printing Group, in a statement
Thursday.
•• •
HP has a long and fierce
history of going after makers of
compatible inkjet cartridges,
typically charging them with
patent infringement. Most of
these cases have been settled
with the manufacturers paying HP
damages and promising to stop
selling the cartridges in
question.

mobile applications that run on
Android phones after its Chinese
partners came under government
pressure to pull out of deals
with
Google.
•• •
Access to Google's Hong
Kong search site has been spotty.
Google responded to mounting
concerns of business users of
Gmail and other Google services
with a blog post that offered
some technical solutions that
would allow business users in
mainland China to access a

similar to what other businesses
do.
•• •
The
company acknowledged that China
could block access to those
services at any time. It has set
up a dashboard on its website
displaying which services are
accessible and which ones are
being blocked or partially
blocked.
•• •
"My
concern is that lots of Google's
mobile services are based on
search," said Kevin Wang,
director of China research for
iSuppli Corp. "Now we don't know
if we'll still have their search
engine in
China."
•• •
As long as
the search engine is accessible,
Google will be positioned to
capture a growing share of mobile
advertising, analysts said,
noting that the company's
strategy is to get as many
Web-enabled phones as possible
into the hands of
consumers.
•• •
That
requires driving costs down for
such devices -- known as smart
phones because they combine the
features of a regular phone and a
computer.

pass savings on to developers and
trump competitors such as
Microsoft, which charges a

manufacturers and mobile
providers to modify the platform
as they see
fit.

company, China Mobile Ltd.,
already has outfitted a line of
third-generation, or 3G, signal
devices named

year over year, to more than $22
billion.
•• •
Total
wireless service revenues
increased slightly, to $77
billion from $75 billion.
Industry analysts have said that
carriers may soon introduce new
pricing plans, including tiered
pricing for data users, because

/
iPad
plans to go full steam ahead in
selling its newest iPad computor.
According to records with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
"the Fujitsu Lts. -- transfer to
Apple" took place on April 3.
Servicemark advisor, Mark
Anderson, of PSI -- pointed out
"How Easy a trademark name can be
utilized by a simple license
agreement."
•••
Fujitsu was approved for a
trademark on the iPad name for
use in hand-held computing
devices. The name was assigned to
Apple by Fujitsu, records made
public Friday
show.
•••
Owning the trademark on
the iPad name allows Apple to
forbid others from using it
without its permission and
eliminates the possbility of a
legal battle over the name
between Apple ana Fujitsu, which
first sought the ttrademar in
2003.
•••
Bloomberg reported that it
was time to "Tip your hat to
Apple today as it has succeeded
at obtaining full rights to the
iPad trademark from Fujitsu. The
trademark was previously owned by
Fujitsu who developed and sold a
handheld scanner with the name
'iPad" in 2002; the mobile device
was used by retailers to track
inventory, check prices, and
complete sales away from a
stationary sales terminal.
Fujitsu applied for the "iPad"
trademark in 2003 and it remained
in limbo until April 2009 when it
fell into "abandoned" status.
Fujitsu re-opened the trademark
application and the USPTO
published it for public review
and comment in September 2009.
This newly re-opened trademark
caught Apple's attention and the
Cupertino company went on the
offensive by objecting to
Fujitsu's application and filing
its own trademark application for
the term iPad."
•••
Over the course of the
past few months, Apple and
Fujitsu have waged a minor
shouting war over the trademark
with Fujitsu claiming ownership
and Apple objecting. With the
Apple iPad slated to launch on
April 3rd, solving the issue
surrounding the iPad name
became imperative for Apple.
Though the details are unknown,
Apple and Fujitsu have worked out
a last minute agreement as a
document uncovered by
PatentAuthority.com reveals that
Fujitsu re-assigned the iPad
trademark in its entirety to
Apple. The transfer was completed
and the trademark was assigned to
Apple on March 17th,
approximately two weeks before
the April 3rd launch date.
••• What
transpired must have happened
behind tightly closed doors as
nary a word of this agreement has
been made public until now.
Though we don't know with
certainty, we can only presume
that it involved the transfer of
a large lump sum of cash from
Apple to Fujitsu in return for
the rights to the name iPad. Now
with the ownership of the iPad
trademark clearly in its
possession, Apple can relax
comfortably and release the
highly anticipated tablet device
on April 3rd without any legal
form of reprisal from
Fujitsu.

- Apple vs. Taiwan - Apple Sues
Taiwan smart-phone maker for
Service Mark
infringement.
•••
Everyone knows when the Wireless
Telephone®™©
Service Marks were first
introduced to the world in 1902,"
says WiTEL©™©
spokesman, Mark Anderson. "It was
'A First' for anything and
everything that looks like a
telephone using an antenna to
transmit and receive EMW
signals."
•••
Just imagine the surprised look
on the faces of onlookers during
the public demonstrations in
1902. Two NBS
WiTEL®™© phones
were linked and connected
together with two WT-phone
numbers. A WiFi187 "hot
spot" was created by his
aerials grounded in the earth.
"No matter if it's a 'Cell
Phone', 'Mobile
Phone', or 'iPhone',
it's still a Wireless
Telephone®™©," says
Anderson.
•••
When Apple first introduced its
iPhone in 2007, not only did it
prove up the original NBS
WiTEL®™© designs by
its inventor, N.B. Stubblefield,
but according to the numbers from
the Cupertino, Calif., company
Apple has sold more than "40
million units.
•••
Mark Anderson, of PSI
WiTEL©™© said,
"the
accused copy-cat'r of the
iPhone was HTC, a Taiwanian
company that produces the
Nexus One phone."
*Take2).
Apple alleges in their
(January 5, 2010) action,
-- that HTC Nexus, had designed
and uses the Android operating
system to deceive consumers.
Google Inc. endorsed the HTC
product and is now selling the
WiTEL®™©
Nexus-Android unit directly to
consumers.

The Bratz Doll $$$ payoff was big

•2010 - The
WiTEL®™© Service
Mark Lawsuit
Explosion /
This Year -- "It's An Mobile
Patent Lawsuit Explosion," writes
Nick Bilton in a New York Times
headline. In today's world of
"Stealing" the Service Marks
®™© owned by
100-year old organizations like
NBS WiTEL®™© - 1898
and Edison, is a big legal Game.
The best way to stop the
"Stealing" of
WiTEL®™©'
intellectual property rights is
to SUE, with a Capital "S."
•••
"And that's exactly what Apple,
along with a few other metaphors
are doing for us right now," says
Anderson. Play a simple melody,
with lovable sexy legal words,
then monetize it by giving the
Suit a 'Look-Listen -- iPhone
WiTEL®™© look."
•••
"We can sit by and watch
competitors steal our patented
inventions, or we can do
something about it. We've decided
to do something about it," Apple
Chief Executive Steve Jobs
said in a statement. "We
think competition is healthy, but
competitors should create their
own original technology, not
steal ours."
"The U.S. Government Created
EMW - MONEY FACTORY."
•••
The quotes from Steve Jobs
were about the same words used by
the U.S. attorney general in
the Kinsbury Commitment of
1910. Just before World War I
commenced, "the commitment became
a "Money Factory for AT&T,
GE, and governments."
•••
Not only did the regulatory
seizure take place in the U.S.A.,
but in Europe. The most important
elements of wireless telephony,
were taken from the author, and
inventor of the Service Marks, by
NBS Wireless
Telephone®™©.
After the regulatory seisure of
both, the EMW portion of
"Telephony" and "Telegraphy",
they were reassigned to
AT&T, and several other
Telecom monopoly's" -- says
Anderson.
•••
According to the Apple recent
filings, the Taiwan company
violated patents include
unlocking mechanisms, power
conservation efforts,
touch-screen scrolling, scaling
and rotating capabilities. Apple
is seeking monetary damages and
an injunction that would prevent
HTC from using, selling and
marketing products breaching the
patents in the U.S.
• Lawsuits - "As An
Investment?"
•••
"It should be pointed out," says
Anderson, "that today's Service
Mark plaintiffs are having a
heyday. Their filings are based
on the words, WiFi-187,
WiMAX-187, and "seamlessly."
Advancing a land line - online
wired system to a wired-wireless
antenna tower system is big
business.
•••
As a result companies that only
buy and sell Service Marks,
(include trademarks, patents, and
copyrights) are taking the
"seamlessly"
WiTEL®™©
efforts serious. They plan to win
big bucks from established online
systems.
•••
"But, continues Anderson, "what
most of those online firms, and
Telecom switching to the wireless
industry have foregotten, to
become a real Wireless
Telephone®™©
operator, they too must apply,
and receive for a
WiTEL®™© license
from NBS
WiTEL®™©."
•••
As for "patent trolls," Eric Von
Hippel, a professor of
technological innovation at
M.I.T.'s Sloan School of
Management, says, "if companies
entered a litigious dispute "they
would usually come to an
agreement to simply share each
other's patents." But he said a
new genre of patent lawsuits,
brought on by what he calls
"patent trolls," had changed the
nature of the disputes. These
companies have no interest in
using the patents, Mr. Von Hippel
said, but instead hope to reap
large sums of money from the
lawsuits themselves.
•••
Bilton in his NY Times article,
reported that, "at first it looks
as if we're in the middle of a
patent lawsuit Super Bowl party."
Nearly every large mobile phone
player -- with the exception of
Microsoft, Palm and, so far,
Google -- has recently been
involved in some sort of patent
litigation regarding mobile
technologies.
•••
"Sampling any one of the many
lawsuits now underway, is a great
study," says Troy Cory. Within
the last year, for example,
Cybersitter sued both China,
Taiwan, and Japan based on Berne
Convention standards. Apple was
sued by the Taiwanese company
Elan Microelectronics over
alleged infringement of
touch-screen patents. Nokia went
on a lawsuit spree, suing Apple,
Samsung, LG and a variety of
other mobile handset companies.
Kodak sued several companies over
patents related to its
digital-imaging
technology.
•••
Although Service Mark
®™© litigation is
not new in todays hitech world -
"the law-suits surrounding
the WiTEL®™©
wired-wireless mobile landscape
are," says Texas attorney,
Charles Portz.
•••
Legal experts have not explained
what the difference between the
effects, elements, and number
code system of a mobile

Mark. For most, mobile technology

113.09iiNetNeutralityRule
/ September 21, 2009 / FCC
Ensuring Net neutrality. Julius
Genachowski, the new FCC chairman
is right to want new rules that
would keep service providers from
limiting selected data traveling
through their networks.
•• •The
FCC took a tentative stab at the
issue in 2004, when then-Chairman
Michael Powell announced
four crucial (4
Freebies) "Internet
Freedoms": the ability of
Internet users to access any
legal content, software or
services online, and to connect
to the Net through any compatible
device. Genachowski laid out two
more: Broadband providers
should not
discriminate against particular
websites or applications, nor
conceal how they manage data. He
also said that the commission
should translate these principles
into formal rules rather than
leaving them in legal limbo.
•• •Lobbyists
for phone and cable TV companies
argue that there's little
evidence of ISPs playing unfairly
or violating Powell's four
freedoms. Yet when the FCC moved
to stop Comcast from
surreptitiously interfering with
a legal file-sharing application
last year, Comcast sued, claiming
the commission had no power to
enforce the principles. It's
paradoxical that the government
should have to regulate the
Internet to preserve its
unregulated essence. But with
so little competition in
broadband service, the major
phone and cable companies have
the power and the incentive to
stop worthy but disruptive
innovations in the name of
"managing congestion." The FCC
should set clear rules that
enable ISPs to keep data flowing
from all legal services and
applications, not just favored
ones. •

HP at that time roported
that several makers of cartridges
for use in inkjet printers were
infringing on HP patents by

found to have violated patents
related to HP's 02 inkjet
cartridges.

Among the 11 companies
charged with patent infringement,

Internet 'net neutrality' is
endorsed by FCC Chairman Julius
Genachowski proposes formalizing
rules and adding mandates that he
says would keep online traffic
moving freely. The proposals
would also cover wireless
Internet service.
•• ••AT&T,
the nation's largest land-line
and wireless carrier, complained
that changing government rules a
year after wireless companies
spent billions of dollars in an
FCC auction to lease what they
thought were unencumbered public
airwaves "creates the impression
of a 'bait and switch.' "
•• •Genachowski
tried to allay some of those
concerns. He said the rules would
be enforced case by case. When
networks are congested, for
example, telecommunications
companies might be allowed to
limit use by "very heavy users"
so other customers would still
have access to the
Internet.
•• •Obama
was a strong supporter of network
neutrality during the
presidential campaign, helping to
draw online support.

FCC's four guiding Internet
principles since 2005 assure that
