Thanksgiving weekend Ohio State fans will have more to talk about than the team's final match-up with Michigan. The Ohio State University, famous for football in the "Horseshoe" and for protecting its trademarks, dropped the other shoe against Caesar's Entertainment, which owns the Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati, Ohio. Caesar's filed a trademark registration for "The Shoe" as the name of its Cincinnati casino concert venue. OSU registered "The Shoe" trademark in 2006 for "various articles of clothing, toy collectables, photographs and artwork." It also holds concerts at the stadium, but has not trademarked the stadium.

Prenuptial agreements are more common than ever. Keeping a prenup legally binding, however, may be a bit trickier than you think. Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving wrote their prenup on the back of a cocktail napkin. It didn't hold water in court. You can lose your prenup's intended protections if you don't follow the terms - including how you manage your finances. I've seen several recent cases where protections have become nullified by poor stewardship.
The purpose of a prenuptial agreement is to protect premarital assets, and sometimes even assets accumulated during the marriage, from division in the event of divorce or death.
If you need help with a prenup, or any family law matter, you can contact

| What is Ohio's "totality-of-the-circumstances" test? |
|
Ohio's defamation law recognizes a truth that how you say something can be just as important as what you say. Defamation can be broadly defined as a false statement that injures a person's reputation, business, or profession.
The context and circumstances in which you say something matters, and whether a statement conveys an opinion or fact can make the difference between actionable defamation and constitutionally protected free speech...It's easy to take offense when false criticisms go too far. But a critical piece of any defamation claim is that the words used must be given their common and ordinary meaning. Words that lack a precise meaning or that are "loosely definable," are not ordinarily defamatory.

Whether one is a victim or an accused "defamer," hiring an attorney experienced in the intricacies of defamation law is the most significant step in successfully resolving any defamation claim. If you have questions concerning defamation contact Strauss Troy Attorney

| Superman was introduced to us in 1938, that special KRYPTON and KRYPTONITE trademarks started being used in 1943. |
|
Recently, DC Comics formally opposed trademark registration of KRYTPONITE VAPOR by Ravensmoon Productions.
Ravensmoon filed the mark in a class that covers electronic cigarette refill cartridges. The group has distributed Kryptonite Vapor product from its website since 2013, as well as in retail establishments. Knowing it can't fight a super power, on Instagram the company referred to the product as "Ravens Moon Vapor formerly KRYTPONITE VAPOR." According to our friend, Michael Lee over at the
Pirated Thoughts blog, DC Comics has also filed for extensions to oppose Chevy's use of the term in the automotive class. The U.S. Patent and Trademark office looks to determine if names are "confusingly similar."
