Fair use is something that you assert in US courts as a defense to an infringement suit. If you're sued in Argentina or somewhere else in the world, even if WIKI's servers are in the US, the laws of that country apply.

Making parts that look like genuine parts has been done in the automotive industry for longer than I've been alive (and I'm 61). As long as the parts do not bear the trademark of someone else or infringe on a patent of some sort, there's no corruption. It behooves the buyer of these things...

You're making things up. Nothing you've indicated shows any corruption of the judiciary, the legal profession, or the biking industry. I don't know why you have your panties in a bunch over this, but you've not indicated any positive evidence of impropriety nor that you have any right to...

It depends what they are copying. The function of the device is not protected by copyright. The APPEARANCE might be.

It has ALWAYS been the case that the owner of the IP is the one that has to pursue the infringer. It's not "the times we live in." In fact, for things like trademarks, failure to do so waives further rights. Again, there may be copyright issues for the reproduction of the plans and...

Kathleen Riley/Cher in Suspect Paul Newman/Frank Galvin in Verdict (this one is a bit obscure) Talia Shire/Rosalie Asher in Kill Me If You Can. and then there are a slew of Grisham adaptations: Tom Cruise/Mitch McDeere in The Firm Susan Sarandon/Reggie Love, Tommy Lee Jones/Roy Foltigg in The...

What's the difference between a catfish and an attorney?

OK, so the patent is irrelevant at this point. The fact that you stated that they were linked by some IP principal was confusing. You get trademark rights by using the mark in commerce. That means actually using it for actually making a sale, rather than squatting on it. The intent to...

Your post is too long for most people. The questions that come to mind: Did you have a lease executed before the foreclosure started? How many units in the complex (or is it just a single family)? Did you have your lease recorded with the county registrar of deeds?

Possession means nothing despite the adage. The fact that the actual drawings were given to someone else doesn't necessarily convey copy rights. There's not enough information in your saga to tell if the plans are protected by copyright and whether the manufacturer of parts from there was an...

I'm not understanding how the name or logo (unless the logo conveys the essence of the invention) even has a bearing on the patent. It is neither protected nor relevant to the patent. When you say you "expect approval" that you've already filed a non-provisional application?

Here's 10p, go call your mum and tell her there are serious doubts about you becoming a solicitor.

When was the tax sale? Generally, security interests other than other taxes and government encumbrances are extinguished by the tax sale.

Yep, and if he'd bought title insurance at that point, he'd not be having to chase this himself now.

It's unlikely the owner of the dumpster is going to come after you for damages.

He also played Twiki (the robot in Buck Rogers), one of the Talosians in the original Star Trek pilot (later remade into the Menagerie episode). one of the Ewoks in the Return of the Jedi, and a bevy of other little person roles.

A credit card is not an "open account." Open account refers to providers of goods or services that deliver such before receiving payment.

No, the Peleton is unusual in that it has a lot of room under the unit and an unguarded belt that can drag a small person underneath and jam them. Both of the treadmills I've owned sit closer to the floor and guard the underside of the belt. Indeed, Peleton has called for owners to unplug the...

Yes, public disclosure bars you or anybody else from patenting anything. Having filed a provisional or regular patent prior to making such disclosures does provide protection PROVIDED you didn't screw it up. Screwing it up likely again means nobody can patent it.

Driving with expired tags is a minor offense. Evading the police and recklessly driving at high speed causing death is a FELONY. I'm sorry for your loss, but your son was committing a serious crime.
