Foreign Trademark Filing: What You Need to Know in a Nutshell
This is what I hear from many clients: “the trademark you filed for us will protect us in foreign countries too, right?? Wrong! As with patents, trademark registrations only cover the country in which they are filed. So your US trademark application will only bestow trademark rights in the United States and not beyond. Therefore, in order to protect your trademarked word or design in Japan, or Germany, or whatever country you’re concerned about, you will need to file a trademark application in each of those countries.

This article describes how someone’s property is distributed under the intestacy laws of Pennsylvania should they die without a valid Will.
There’s an old adage that a person either devises his own plan in life or ends up as part of someone else’s. Because 50%-60% of the population never executes a Will, the majority of us will allow our state legislature to determine who is most deserving of our money, belongings, and real estate when we die. Why do otherwise intelligent people who work and save their whole lives fail to plan for the inevitable? Are we that trusting, that apathetic, that fearful, that cheap?
