Fun story I just heard about a friend of a friend: while in zoom court, her cat walked across the screen. When she tried to move him off camera, the legal reporter asked for the name of her "legal assistant." And that's how Stan the cat got entered into an official trial record.

Jorts quoting Cesar Chavez beautifully reminds me of the time my 5th grade show featured a segment on Chavez and the grape strike; it ended with 2 girls dressed in grape costumes (balloons in trash bags) dancing to "I heard it through the grapevine." In retrospect, that was odd.

@CWolfEsq I was always pretty appalled by the "donate sick leave to other people" practice when I worked at the USPTO. Good lord, you're the federal government, you can certainly afford it, just be decent already and give people the maternity and sick leave they need.

@ellle_em I have a very loving home full of cuddles and treats with minions who regularly let me outside into a fence backyard for playtime, but I still constantly meow at the back fence gate hoping that someone else will let me into the unrestricted outside. AITA?

In the past few days, i have learned that a ton of people think that every lawyer out there is making over $125,000 a year. Although plenty of lawyers do, lots of early career lawyers and lawyers in the non profit, government, and academia industries make far below that amount.

The USPTO's examination guide on this topic is long and wordy, so if you want a quick rundown of what cannabis goods can be registered with trademarks at the USPTO, here it is: (I examined cannabis trademarks at the USPTO for ~2 years) 1/?

A good question. The USPTO will register trademarks for for specific cannabis goods that were essentially decriminalized under federal law. Off the cuff thread 1/8

@rachaeldickzen @Ancommiey I assure you that a thorough investigation will take place and that its findings will be shared with our community. The pointing of a firearm prompts an internal review that will be monitored by the Independent Police Auditor who reports directly to the Board. (1/2)

There's no "right" way to look like a lawyer. In all the photos below, I was a kickass lawyer. Also, thinking there's a "right way" to look like a lawyer tends to result in disproportionate harm to BIPOC and people who don't conform to gender norms. Let's...not do that, okay?

Spray tan and lashes doesn’t make anyone less of a lawyer. What *does* make someone a bad lawyer is making conclusory assumptions based on appearances. And my eyesight is so bad that contact lenses are literally medically necessary. Do better.

Did y'all know that the USPTO had a gift shop? It's technically the inventors hall of fame museum gift shop, but it is in the USPTO. They def need more trademark shirts and accessories, but they have way more (R) stuff than I've seen in the past! I went a bit wild.

For the record, friends, i do know the difference and i do take care to use the correct terms myself. I don't judge other people who don't though, because life is too short.

I'll write more on this later when I have more time to formulate my thoughts, but in the meantime, I strongly suggest that attorneys check the USPTO trademark register to ensure their names are not being fraudulently listed on applications, whether you're in trademarks or not.

@ellle_em I (14m) take advantage of the fact that my roommate (34f) thinks I'm getting frail and old (because I am) and jump up on the counter as much as I like because I know she's afraid she'll hurt me if she just knocks me off to the floor. AITA?

Hey, the Washington Post talked to me about Barbie Pink and color trademarks! Only one of my comments got in but I'm still delighted lol. (I sent the reporter all the color trademark record links she included in the article! How cool).

He’s tried to ‘liberate’ colors for years. His latest: the ‘Barbiest pink.’

The paint, dubbed “Pinkie,” is the latest salvo in Semple’s years long campaign to “liberate” colors from legal restrictions.

Actual automated warning about my DC bar app (paraphrased): "You said you moved out of residence #10 on Dec. 29, 2017 and into residence #11 on Dec. 30, 2017. This gap is impermissible! WHERE WERE YOU THAT ONE NIGHT IN 2017, COUNSEL?" Me: "....A hotel?"
