Common law trademark rights are rights that you obtain by use of your name or mark."

Bruce Sunstein was quoted in AIPLA Daily Report, October 17, 2009 in answer to the question, "Do you agree with Judge Randall Rader's definition of a patent troll as anyone who asserts a patent far beyond its value?" Bruce said, in part, "I think a troll is anyone suing my company!"

Cir., No. 2007-1441, 10/10/08.  The Court took the occasion to address Karol's recently published article, in which he speculated that a decision this past spring by the Federal Circuit could be read to place “a bedrock [principle] of U.S. patent law . . . on shakier ground.”  The Videotek case, and in particular the Court's response to Karol's piece, itself became the subject of a further article by BNA's Patent, Trademark and Copyright Journal.

Jakub Michna, an associate at Sunstein, was quoted in bnet Business Network, May 8, 2008 in the story "Federal Circuit Court Advised on Risks of Limiting Patent Protection." He said, in part, "Today, we need a broad rule to fit our information-based economy."

Mr. Sunstein said in part, ""Theoretically, a virtual marketplace such as eBay is not legally responsible for hosted content. It is not its role to ensure that the objects exchanged are genuine, unless platform managers are aware of or have been informed of fraud and know that the objects they list are counterfeit."

Lisa Tittemore was quoted in the Boston Globe, February 28, 2008, in the story "Mass. man suing Apple over patent."

Jay Sandvos was interviewed in a November 10, 2007 Boston Globe article, "Northeastern sues Google over patent." Commenting on the Eastern District of Texas as a forum for this type of suit, he said, "Because they have so much patent litigation, they have a certain expertise."

Robert Asher was interviewed in The National Law Journal Online on October 1, 2007.  In the article, "From the Upcoming Issue: Patent review overhaul draws praise," Bob said, in part, "In the past, these reexaminations were filed when litigations started looking like they need help, now [lawyers are] bringing them at the start or before litigation."

Lisa Tittemore was interviewed in IPLaw360 in their August 3, 2007 article "Debate Rages Over IP Protection in Fashion Industry." She said, in part, that "It has been typically difficult for fashion designers to assert intellectual property rights because the Copyright Act views apparel as a 'useful article'...unlike...other types of art that are covered in the law."

Jay Sandvos was interviewed by the Mercury News on July 10, 2007 in the article "Apple shares hit high after analyst predicts cheaper iPhone." His comments include, "it makes sense to seek patent protection for every possible aspect of such a device whether or not Apple actually plans to use it - just to prevent competitors from doing something along these lines."  Jay's comments were also picked up by more than 70 newspapers and on-line news services around the world.

Bruce Sunstein was quoted in a May 30, 2007 BusinessWeek.com article, "Qualcomm Under Fire." He said, "In the end, it's in the interest of Nokia and Qualcomm to come to terms."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed on May 3, 2007 by EDN.com in the story, "New Supreme Court patent ruling may create uncertainty."  He said, in part, "In setting the bar higher, they [The Supreme Court] created uncertainty as well.  It's one thing to set the bar higher, but the uncertainty undermines the patent system."

Bruce was also quoted on March 13, 2007 in the BusinessWeek.com story "Viacom sues YouTube over copyrights,"  which also appears in startribune.com.

Lisa Tittemore was interviewed in TheDeal.com on March 13, 2007 in an article, "Viacom sues Google over YouTube." "While there is little question that YouTube is hosting copyrighted material," Tittemore said,  "it is being posted by a third party, and that as a service provider, Google is likely to argue that it is not responsible for the content its users put on the site. The company is also likely to argue that it takes steps to remove copyrighted material when it becomes aware of it," she added.  "However, a court might need to rule on whether YouTube must do more 'active policing' of its site by using filtering technology to prevent the posting of copyrighted material," Tittemore said.

Steve Saunders was interviewed in TheStreet.com on February 23, 2007 in a story entitled, "TechWeek: No Fair Play for Microsoft."

Thomas Carey was interviewed on January 16, 2007 by OpenSource.com in the article  "IP Attorney: Bankrupt or Not, SCO case is 'boring'." His comments include "if there is no Chapter 11 filing, then the trial goes on as is. SCO suffers a slow and painful death rather than a quick one."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed on November 8, 2006 by OpenSource.com, in the article "IP Attorney: Microsoft-Novell Partnership Creates Internal Competition for Open Source."  His comments include, "Make no mistake, Microsoft is not doing this because it's 'good,' but because it is good business. . . . It's the same way IBM embraced Linux more than five years ago. . . . The fact is, IBM sells lot of hardware and now they are able to sell hardware in a market they did not have before. . . . For Linux overall this is a celebration of having come of age. Linux is now in its adulthood."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed on October 20, 2006 by Warren Communications News in the article "Patent Wiki No Panacea for Perceived Ills, Inventor Rep Says,"  regarding a proposed review website for patent applications. His comments include, "I say, what's not to like [about the proposal]. . . .  One could actually implement this without rule changes. . . .

Tom Carey was interviewed on September 1, 2006 by the Associated Press about the the Federal Trade Commission's failure to stop settlements by drug companies with generic rivals, which the FTC believes slow the introduction of low-cost generics. His quotes, featured in the story "FTC Head: Payments to Generic Firms Bad," include, "The incentive to go down this path is enormous. . . .

Tim Murphy was interviewed in the August 30, 2006 edition of PharmExec Direct about the rising number of cases in which brand name patents have been invalidated, either partially or completely. His quotes, featured in the story "Federal Courts Get Tough on Patents," include, "Pharmaceutical companies have been very aggressive in extending the life of a patent. . .

Tom Carey was interviewed on July 28, 2006 by the Associated Press. In the story "Bristol-Myers Announces Probe; Profit Off," regarding Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. being the subject of a criminal antitrust probe over a pending deal with a generic drug maker involving its best-selling product, Plavix, and a drop in their second quarter profits, Tom commented on the rising number of agreements among drug companies: "The FTC is concerned about the increasing number of agreements like the one with Apotex that drug companies are making and is studying whether they mute competition. . . . A criminal probe into the agreement is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, and is likely to prevent further arrangements. . . . No company wants to find itself on the wrong end of a criminal action. . . . It is a political black eye, it could mean jail time for executives."

Tom Carey was interviewed in the July 28, 2006 edition of Forbes.com about the issue of whether large drug companies will be permitted to settle with copycat generic drug makers. His comments, featured in the story "Patent Wars," include, "In their [FTC regulators] view, the public interest is not being served. . . . It makes sense for the generic company to settle up and go happily along until the patent expires. In their view, all that's happening is the drug companies are coming up with ways to serve monopoly profits."

Meredith Ainbinder was quoted on July 28, 2006 by Mass High Tech: The Journal of New England Technology in the article "Legal E-mail Driving Valora's Growth."  Her comments include, "The ability to keep documents electronically has given rise to the desire to do so. . . .

In the story "YouTube dances the copyright tango," concerning helicopter pilot and journalist Robert Tur's lawsuit claiming that his video of the 1992 Los Angeles riots was posted without his permission on YouTube's video-sharing website, John commented on YouTube's recent practice of putting ads on its site next to video clips: "They hadn't done this before. . .. The law states that you can't receive profits directly attributable to the infringing content. I think this would make it much harder for them to make an assertion that they weren't profiting."

Tom Carey was interviewed by E-Commerce Times on July 24, 2006. His comments, featured in the story "SCO Group Claims IBM Destroyed Evidence," include, "This case has had so many false leads to it, what is one more?" . . . It has all been a bunch of hooey. . . .SCO's actions throughout this lawsuit have had the earmarks of someone with no case but a lot of energy. . . . Now I think the open source community knows to make sure it does business in a clean and transparent manner."

Tom Carey was interviewed in the July 7, 2006 edition of CRN, in the story "FireStar Files Patent Suit Against Red Hat," which also ran on InformationWeek.com. The story concerns a case filed in Texas over JBoss' Hibernate 3.0's object mapping technology. His comments include, "It's potentially more significant than the SCO [copyright] case because it's about a patent that covers a basic concept or idea, not an expression of an idea, which copyright covers. . . . It's a more powerful case. That's why RIM [Research In Motion] ended up settling [with NTP] for so much. . . . [The SCO's case]effect on open source is nil. It's dead."

John Stickevers was interviewed on June 14, 2006 by GAMESPOT news. His comments, featured in the story "Nintendo patent signals imminent suit against Microsoft?," include, Although the title of [Nintendo's new patent - 'Messaging service for video game systems with buddy list that displays game being played'] seem broad, and one might think that Nintendo could assert this patent against Microsoft's Xbox Live service, the scope of the patent is much narrower."

Bruce Sunstein was quoted by eWeek.com on June 12, 2006. In the story "Qualcomm Tries to Block Nokia," he commented on the patent infringement suits filed in the U.S. and the U.K. by chip maker Qualcomm regarding its GSM Technology in the U.S. and the U.K: "There's a very strong incentive for these parties to reach an agreement. If you look at the European Convention, policy matters are much more important when they're in a patent environment than they are in the U.S. . . . The Europeans are more hostile to patents. This will likely help Nokia. [If Nokia prevails in the European Union before the case is heard here,] it might solve everything."

Bruce Sunstein was quoted in the June 12, 2006 edition of MultiChannel News. In the story, "Cablevision Network DVR in Court’s Hands," he commented on litigation between Cablevision Systems Corp. and broadcast networks, cable outlets and Hollywood studios in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, concerning Cablevision's network-based digital video recorder service (called "remote storage DVR" (or RS-DVR)): “It hinges on Cablevision being able to say that kind of [network DVR] usage by the consumer is fair, and they’re just providing the technology for it. It’s not what they [Cablevision] are doing is fair use, per se. . . . I think this will go all the way [to the Supreme Court], and even then it may not be decided until Congress steps in."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed by Information Week on May 30, 2006.  His comments, featured in the story "Symantec-Microsoft lawsuit shows Vista straining ties," which appeared on CMPNet Asia, include, "For Symantec, this is about survival as Microsoft threatens to move more into Symantec's space."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed in the May 29, 2006 edition of USA Today.  In the story "Networks Fight Cablevision Service," he observed that, compared to their case against VCRs and digital video recorders (DVRs), network studios have "an easier case" against Cablevision Systems' service that permits a digital set-top box function like a DVR (called "remote storage DVR" (or RS-DVR)), because RS-DVR "is a service sold to the consumer, while TiVo is a device sold to the consumer."

Lisa Tittemore was interviewed on May 8, 2006 by MarketWatch and her comments are featured in the article "Apple Beats the Beatles In London Court".

It was too abstract."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed on April 20, 2006 by MSNBC.com in the article "Are Copycat Cars a Sincere Form of Flattery?". His comments concerning trade dress infringement include, “Generally, you can’t win unless the consumer is confused by what they see, so if you recognize a car is a Lexus and think it looks like a Mercedes, generally that’s not enough".

On April 14, 2006, Bruce Sunstein was interviewed by internetnews.com in the article "Report Details DMCA Misuses", and also by TMCNet in the article "EFF Says Seven-year-old Law Is Overly Restrictive." His comments include, "The DMCA is an imperfect piece of legislation, but ever since Adam and Eve shared the apple we live in a world that is imperfect. . . . The DMCA provides a fig leaf to content providers, and that's a good thing in the age in which we live. . . . I'm not worrying about a chilling effect from the DMCA. . . . For every story of abuse, there are millions of legal downloads that have been protected against illicit copying by combination of digital rights management and the DMCA."

Bruce Sunstein was interviewed in the April 14, 2006 edition of The Wall Street Journal. His comments, featured in the story "TiVo Wins a Vital Patent Dispute," include, "There's little doubt, if TiVo wins here, it will have more business leverage in the marketplace, and more people will be willing to pay them money."

Tom Carey was interviewed in the January 9, 2006 news section of SearchOpenSource.com concerning SCO's legal battle against Linux vendor Novel, Inc. His comments, featured in the story "IP attorney: Why SCO has no case", include, "The key to the case is that IBM specifically negotiated with SCO a clause that permitted it to use the same programmers who saw the Unix code to make competing products. . . . The result is, absent literal copying of meaningful amounts of Unix into Linux, SCO has no case."
