This is Elizabeth King of Conley Rose in Houston, Texas and you are listening to IP Fridays.com.
KS: Hello and welcome to this episode of IP Fridays. Our names are Ken Suzan and Rolf Claessen and this is THE podcast dedicated to Intellectual Property. It does not matter where you are from, in-house or private practice, novice or expert, we will help you stay up-to-date with current topics in the fields of trademarks, patents, design and copyright, discover useful tools and much more.
RC: First of all we are really happy that we get lots of feedback. One feedback comes from Gordon Firemark in Los Angeles.
GF: Hi guys. This is Gordon Firemark from the Entertainment Law Update Podcast at EntertainmentLawUpdate.com. I want to congratulate you on getting your new IP Fridays podcast up and running. I am looking forward to being a loyal listener. I also wanted to ask you about possibly interviewing you both about the experience of getting your podcast set up. I teach a course called Power Podcasting for Lawyers in which I teach lawyers all about the reasons why they should podcast and how to get set up and I think your experiences with your new show would be very instructive so I wonder if you would contact me. I am sending you my email address and if you would like to get in touch, I would love to record an interview over Skype one of these days. Thanks.
RC: Also, Ed Timberlake in Carrboro, North Carolina. He is a passionate trademark prosecutor who wants to be on the show. He will be on one of the next shows. And we got some really funny feedback from Bob Rees. Unfortunately it is a picture. He has patented some foam and bubble technology and he made a really nice picture “Thank God It’s Friday” with his bubble technology and you can have a look at it at www.ipfridays.com/rees.
We didn’t even start a month ago and we already have 444 downloads, that means 444 times people downloaded our shows and listened to them. That is really great given that we are in a very small niche of intellectual property. Most people come from the U.S., Germany and the U.K. We also already have 125 email subscribers. Thank you so much. If you want to tweet about us go to www.ipfridays.com/love and it will prepopulate a tweet where you can tell all your Twitter followers. You can also like us on Facebook at www.ipfridays.com/like and, of course, we are also on LinkedIn at www.ipfridays.com/linkedin.
I heard about a recent case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is referred to as the Petrella case. It is a copyright case and it is about the doctrine of laches and since I am not really the copyright guy, Ken can you tell us about this case?
KS: Rolf, the United States Supreme Court recently issued an important decision with respect to the laches defense. The case is Petrella v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc.
