How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!But you don't like top-down bureaucracy. The cross-licensing schemes, consortia, patent pools, etc. are grass roots solutions devised by patentholders that allow them to respect each others' patent rights, avoid litigation and thrive in the marketplace. They are creatures of free-market...- Rudynate

How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!I'm going to answer your question with a story. I worked for a hearing aid manufacturer. The hearing device industry is a small, specialized industry. Most American manufacturers are located in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. Internationally, most other companies are in Denmark, Switzerland...- Rudynate

How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!I don't agree with the dissenting opinion.. it's very ham-handed. Hearing aids are highly miniaturized electronic devices. What applies to a blender does not necessarily apply to a hearing aid.- Rudynate

How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!Under current law, that patent may never have issued. The Supreme Court decisions Bilski v. Kappos in 2011 and Alice v. CLS Bank in 2014 have drastically revised the landscape in software patenting. But also, when someone hears about a new product or invention, from a hindsight point of view...- Rudynate

How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!But since false marking is a crime, it is a reasonable assumption that a product marked "patented" is patented. You're right though, the fact that a product is not marked "patented" does not mean it is not patented. It is extremely difficult in that situation to do a patent search and try to...- Rudynate

How do i know if i m not violating some patent private labeling a product
HOT!In the United States, claiming that a product is patented that is, in fact, not patented is called "false marking." False marking is a federal crime punishable by a fine of up to $500.00 per incidence. So a product run of 1000 pieces could end up costing the perp $500k if they all entered...- Rudynate

Buy a float tank. Change your life.
NOTABLE!A long time ago, I had a membership in a subscription-based place. When I joined, the place was brand new, shiny-clean, a pleasure to go to. I think they didn't sell enough memberships to make money. Maintenance started slipping and repairs went undone and I stopped going. After a few months...- Rudynate

Where Can I Find Better Quality Friends?
HOT! PEOPLEI spent my adolescent years in Rochester NY. I and all of my siblings thought it was a complete toilet and couldn't wait to get away. I got away from it as soon as I could.

PEOPLEIt is somewhat of a truism that a person's external environment and his/her internal environment reflect each other. One of the quickest routes to quieting a chaotic state of mind is to make sure your external environment is in order.- Rudynate

HOT! PEOPLEThat is the conventional wisdom. In 12-step programs it is called "taking a geographic cure." And it is true that, no matter where you move, you take yourself along. But I don't think it is always the case that wanting to change your surroundings is doomed to fail. I visited San Francisco...- Rudynate
