		<description><![CDATA[by Michelle Fabio &#8211; Sponsored by Legalzoom Jailbreaking Smartphones The Lack of Jailbreaking Lawsuits Will Soon Be Over Be careful what you do with your smartphone.   Of the 10 million iPhone users in America, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) estimates that about 350,000 have hacked into their smartphones to install third-party applications not sanctioned by the manufacturer, such as video recorders and advanced digital camera settings. Is this process, called &#8220;jailbreaking,&#8221; legal?   Smartphone manufacturers haven&#8217;t filed any lawsuits against individuals who have hacked their phones or against those who develop the third-party applications, but some cell phone carriers have threatened legal action against consumers who jailbreak their phones, possibly alleging breach of contractual provisions because of the use of certain applications.   That said, the process of jailbreaking your own smartphone doesn&#8217;t appear to be illegal in and of itself as you do own the phone and its software under the licensing agreement. The EFF, though, wants the law made clear that there is no copyright violation involved, so it is turning to the US Copyright Office for help.   DMCA Exemption Request   The EFF, a digital rights defense organization, has filed a request for an exemption [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Business Justice Protect Business Intellectual Property November 1, 2008 -The largest companies in the world today owe their value not only to the property they own or the property they manufacture, but also to their &#8220;intellectual property&#8221; &#8211; the ideas they create.  Microsoft&#8217;s value is not based just on the number of DVDs it sells, but the computer code that is on those DVDs. Google&#8217;s value exists because of patents that protect how Google&#8217;s search engine algorithms are written.  Walt Disney is heavily valued by the large copyright and trademark portfolio the company owns for their characters, films, music and other media. Think about it&#8230; how much is the simple sketch of a big eared mouse, &#8220;Mickey Mouse&#8221;, or a web page address, Yahoo.com, worth? They are both examples of intellectual property. Take even Adult Websites such as http://www.Nude.com out of Nevada.  They have trademarked the website name. While some states have their own laws protecting copyright and trademarks, to fully protect intellectual property, a person or a business needs to register patents and trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and copyrights with the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress.

		<description><![CDATA[By: Martin Truman How To Protect Your Crown Jewels With A Confidentiality Agreement How should you use a confidentiality agreement to protect your trade secrets and how effective are they anyway? Many commercial clients still regard a Confidentiality Agreement or Non-disclosure agreement as routine documents that do not require detailed consideration or legal advice. Are you one of them? They are all the same aren&#8217;t they? I must have seen and reviewed several hundred Non-disclosure Agreements in my 11 years in commercial practice. Non-disclosure Agreements vary from a half page statement through to a comprehensive 8-10 page document. Usually a two to three pager, or possibly a concisely drafted and formatted one page document, will meet most needs. 80-90% of the clauses will be the same in all agreements and can be scanned quickly when you know what you are looking for; but the 10-20% unique clauses are the ones to watch out for. It is usually these that have the potential to catch you out. What type of information? For what purpose is it being disclosed. How sensitive is the information? What is the upside? What is the downside? What is the shelf-life of the confidential information? What practical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels Business Justice &#8211; Intellectual Property Obtaining a Patent Used to be Very Expensive There is a lot of homework to do before moving forward.  Hiring a research team could cost upwards of $7000.  That is what I was quoted back in 1965 when I wanted to patent the roll-out fire escape ladder.  I was in college and back them $7000 seemed like $25 million does today.  Now through LegalZoom, the research can be done for you for just $300. Before you invest time and money into patenting your idea, it&#8217;s critical that you identify any existing patents that are similar to yours.  We will show you how to get a patent, step by step. LegalZoom&#8217;s Comprehensive Patent Search identifies any relevant patents, both approved and pending approval with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Listing relevant &#8220;prior art&#8221; is required to complete your utility patent application. LegalZoom can conduct a Comprehensive Patent Search in 3 simple steps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ron Bartels A trademark is the one of the most important business assets you&#8217;ll ever own. It&#8217;s your name, your logo, or any other symbol that distinguishes your company or products in the marketplace. Business Justice &#8211; Trademark Education &#8211; The How To Process &#8211; Business Identity &#8211; Registered Trademark Registering your trademark prevents others from using your business identity to market their own products, which can confuse your customers and damage your brand. LegalZoom can help you register your trademark in 3 easy steps. First, some must know education about trademarks 1. Introduction to Trademarks A trademark is anything that is used, or intended to be used, to identify the goods of one manufacturer from the goods of others. It is a brand name. Trademarks are important business tools because they allow companies to establish their product&#8217;s reputation without having to worry that an inferior product will diminish their reputation or profit by deceiving the consumer. Trademarks include words, names, symbols and logos. Anything that distinctly identifies your company can be a trademark, provided that it is for goods. A service mark is very similar to a trademark, except that it is used to distinguish services in the stream of commerce. [...]]]></description>

With a registered copyright, you control how your work is reproduced, distributed and presented publicly. LegalZoom can help you quickly and easily copyright original works of authorship including books, videos, movies, songs, paintings, photographs, choreography, and website content. Copyright Education 1. Definition of a Copyright A copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to authors of &#8220;original works of authorship.&#8221; This includes literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Material not protected by copyright (or otherwise protected) is available for use by anyone without the author&#8217;s consent. An author of a copyrighted work can prevent others from copying, performing or otherwise using the work without the author&#8217;s consent.
