Trademarks: What They Is, What They Ain’t
Trademarks are important for businesses, but they are not as broad as many people think. I’d be rich if I had a nickel for every time I read a Tweet that said, “ZOMG, I can’t believe the smiley face emoticon has been trademarked!”

Win or lose, I’m with you every game, every inning.
Thanks for a great season. Pundits predicted that the Angels would finally defeat the Red Sox in the ALDS, and they were wrong. Pundits predicted that the Rays would walk all over the Red Sox in the ALCS, and the Sox made a series of it. And although the 2008
