Presidents CornerTabitha Youngstrom, President

Greeting to you all and welcome back. In this months edition I am going to shared about Intellectual Property (IP), copyright, and trademark laws. I know this can be confusing so I hope this will help clear some air on the subject. Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. IP is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs. Copyright law is a branch of that part of the law which deals with the rights of intellectual creators. Copyright law deals with particular forms of creativity, concerned primarily with mass communication. It is concerned also with virtually all forms and methods of public communication, not only printed publications but also such matters as sound and television broadcasting, films for public exhibition. The subject-matter of copyright protection includes every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever the mode or form of expression. For a work to enjoy copyright protection, however, it must be an original creation. The ideas in the work do not need to be new but the form, be it literary or artistic, in which they are expressed must be an original creation of the author. And, finally, protection is independent of the quality or the value attaching to the workit will be protected whether it be considered, according to taste, a good or a bad literary or musical workand even of the purpose for which it is intended, because the use to which a work may be put has nothing to do with its protection. The owner of copyright in a protected work may use the work as he wishesbut not without regard to the legally recognized rights and interests of othersand may exclude others from using it without his authorization. Therefore, the rights bestowed by law on the owner of copyright in a protected work are frequently described as exclusive rights to authorize others to use the protected work. The original authors of works protected by copyright also have moral rights, in addition to their exclusive rights of an economic character. What is meant by using a work protected by copyright? Most copyright laws define the acts in relation to a work which cannot be performed by persons other than the copyright owner without the authorization of the copyright owner. Such acts, requiring the authorization of the copyright owner, normally are the following: copying or reproducing the work; performing the work in public; making a sound recording of the work; making a motion picture of the work; broadcasting the work; translating the work; adapting the work. Remedies for infringement of copyright or for violation of related rights consist of civil redress, as where infringers are obliged by court to cease the infringement and to undertake reparatory action by any appropriate means, for example, rectification in the press or liability for damages. Some laws also provide for penal remedies in the form of fines and/or imprisonment. Trademarks already existed in the ancient world. Even at times when people either prepared what they needed themselves or, more usually, acquired it from local craftsmen, there were already creative entrepreneurs who marketed their goods beyond their localities and sometimes over considerable distances. As long as 3,000 years ago, Indian craftsmen used to engrave their signatures on their artistic creations before sending them to Iran. Manufacturers from China sold goods bearing their marks in the Mediterranean area over 2,000 years ago and at one time about a thousand different Roman pottery marks were in use, including the FORTIS brand, which became so famous that it was copied and counterfeited. With the flourishing trade of the Middle Ages, the use of signs to distinguish the goods of merchants and manufacturers likewise expanded several hundred years ago. Their economic importance was still limited, however. Trademarks started to play an important role with industrialization, and they have since become a key factor in the modern world of international trade and market-oriented economies. Industrialization and the growth of the system of the market-oriented economy allow competing manufacturers and traders to offer consumers a variety of goods in the same category. Often without any apparent differences for the consumer, they do generally differ in quality, price and other characteristics. Clearly consumers need to be given the guidance that will allow them to consider the alternatives and make their choice between the competing goods. Consequently, the goods must be named. The medium for naming goods on the market is precisely the trademark. Virtually any sign can constitute a trademark. Here are some examples of what constitutes a trademark.

Words: This category includes company names, surnames, forenames, geographical names and any other words or sets of words, whether invented or not, and slogans. - Letters and Numerals: Examples are one or more letters, one or more numerals or any combination thereof. Devices: This category includes fancy devices, drawings and symbols and also two dimensional representations of goods or containers. Combinations of any of those listed above, including logotypes and labels. Colored Marks: This category includes words, devices and any combinations thereof in color, as well as color combinations and

color as such. Three-Dimensional Signs: A typical category of three-dimensional signs is the shape of the goods or their packaging. However, other three-dimensional signs such as the three-pointed Mercedes star can serve as a trademark. Audible Signs (Sound Marks): Two typical categories of sound marks can be distinguished, namely those that can be transcribed in musical notes or other symbols and others (e.g. the cry of an animal). Olfactory Marks (Smell Marks): Imagine that a company sells its goods (e.g. writing paper) with a certain fragrance and the consumer becomes accustomed to recognizing the goods by their smell. Other (Invisible) Signs: Examples of these are signs recognized by touch. You may cite our trademarks properly as outlined herein to refer accurately to our products and services. You may not, however, use our logos and design trademarks (as opposed to our trademarks that consist solely of words) without our prior written authorization. In addition, you may not use our trademarks: In, as, or as part of your own trademarks (including our trademarks that consist solely of words) To identify products or services that are not ours In a manner likely to cause confusion In a manner that implies inaccurately that we sponsor or endorse, or are otherwise connected with, your own activities, products, and services Parties wishing to use Wives Behind the Badge, Inc.s trademarks, service marks, images, or copyrighted materials in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging must obtain written permission by the President of Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. prior to use. Only the President of WBTB can grant authorization for trademark uses, WBTB auxiliary offices or other personnel do not have this authority. Use of Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. trademarks for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of WBTB may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws. Use of WBTB trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized. Proper Attribution When you use our trademarks in any materials, please include a brief statement attributing ownership of these trademarks to us. This attribution should identify each mark used, attribute it to its proper owner by name, and indicate whether the trademark is registered. For example: Wives Behind the Badge , One Family * One Vision * One Badge , Families Behind the Badge , Blue Line Kids , H.A.L.O.S. (Helping Aid Lost Officers Survivors) , K.A.R.E. (K9, Assistance, Resources, Education) , P.O.L.I.C.E. Families Training , Santa Shield, and their logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. or its subsidiaries in the United States and/or other countries.

This positive right of use belonging to the trademark owner is recognized in most trademark laws. This means first the right of the owner of the mark to affix it on goods, containers, packaging, labels, etc. or to use it in any other way in relation to the goods for which it is registered. It means also the right to introduce the goods to the market under the trademark. Finally, a third right out of the series of rights incorporated in the right to use a trademark is the trademark owners right to use his mark in advertising, on business papers, documents, etc. The Right to Exclude Others from Using the Mark - It follows from the marks basic function of distinguishing the goods of its owner from those of others that he must be able to object to the use of confusingly similar marks in order to prevent consumers and the public in general from being misled. This is the essence of the exclusive right afforded to the trademark owner by registration. He must be able to object to any use of his trademark by a third party for goods for which it is protected, to the affixing of the mark on such goods, to its use in relation to the goods and to the offering of the goods for sale under the mark, or the use of the mark in advertising, business papers or any other kind of document. Furthermore, since consumers are to be protected against confusion, protection generally extends to the use of similar trademarks for similar goods, if such use is likely to confuse the consumer. Remedies for Trademark Infringement , a successful infringement action leads to prohibition of the use of the confusingly similar mark. If the infringing mark is registered, cancellation of the registration is ordered. The trademark owner can also, in principle, ask for compensation for damages. Many countless volunteer hours go into our programs from conception to execution. Great pride, emotion, and heart are poured into everything from our logos to our newsletters. Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. trademarks are the principal means by which we identify our company, products, and activities to the public and by which the public, in turn, has come to recognize our company.

I would like to thank WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization Handbook published in 2004 which I utilized for this article.

Presidents Corner Continued.

I want to end this months corner with some fun and useful tips.

To get rid of caked-on hairspray on bathroom mirrors use 2 parts water and 1 part liquid fabric softener. Wipe on with a damp cloth and wipe off with a clean one. You should wash make-up brushes and sponges regularly to keep them free of dirt, oil, and bacteria. Lather them up with baby shampoo and rinse in cool water then let them air dry. Quick mirror makeover for when guests are coming. Clean the mirror with aerosol air freshener, it will bring back your mirror to a glossy shine and leave the room smelling fantastic. Mineral Deposit build up in your faucets, cut a lemon into quarters and push a piece into the faucet and let stand 10 minutes then twist the wedge out. Repeat with the remaining wedges until the deposits are gone. Add a cotton ball soaked in vanilla or lavender oil to your vacuum cleaner bag to freshen the air while you vacuum. A great all natural wood floor cleaner is tea. Just brew a strong pot let cool and mop, the teas tannic acid will keep your wood strong. Okay here is one if you have kids and had to clean up vomit. Baking soda, sprinkle on the top as soon as possible. It will soak up some of the mess and make the smell easier to deal with. Bubble gum remover, the best way to remove gum from clothes, hair, carpet, pets is with Bengay. Put it

on the gum, then apply heat with your hair dryer set on low. Press a plastic sandwich bag on the gum and it should pull away easily. Be sure to wash the area after youve removed the gum.

Red wine in the carpet, use shaving cream (check the carpet is colorfast first), let it set for a minute then wipe it away. This will also work on grease stains. Clean and deodorize your disposal with ice cubes and orange or lemon peel. Run the disposal until you no longer hear the ice grinding. The ice will congeal any grease allowing the disposal to break it up and the peels will help clean the rest and leave it with a wonderful smell. A great all natural cleaner for the refrigerator is 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of hot water, squeeze a lemon in for a nice scent and wipe away dirt and grime without leaving chemicals behind. Refrigerator freshener, hollow out a grapefruit or orange and fill it with salt then place it in the back of your refrigerator. Leave it there until the salt gets completely damp and then throw it away and replace it. To quickly kill bacteria on a kitchen sponge, wring it out then microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. Do NOT nuke a dry sponge it will ignite. You can also put them on the top rack in the dishwasher and run them through with the dishes. And last but not least after a long winter of burning fires use a can of cola with 31/2 fl. Oz. of all purpose cleaner and 31/2 quarts hot water in a bucket. Sponge on sooty bricks and leave 15 minutes. Clean with a stiff-bristled brush and wipe with clean water.

LEO Pageant Beauties

Two of our Wives Behind the Badge recently competed in the Mrs. International Pageant system, each focusing on law enforcement support as their platform. loved competing in Mrs. pageants," says Parker. "In the Mrs. systems, a pageant title is used as a megaphone to bring attention and awareness for a cause you feel passionate about. I was excited to have the opportunity to speak about Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. and law enforcement issues to a broad audience. I certainly never thought I'd be doing a pageant at 7 1/2 months pregnant, but it was an absolute blast and I made lots of memories to share with my daughter one day!" Parker competed for the title of Mrs. New Jersey International 2013 this March 9th, and was honored to be named the first runner-up and Mrs. Photogenic!
Teena Handline, our Pennsylvania Auxiliary Assistant Director, is a 23 year old second year law student at Temple University studying Corporate Law. She has been married for almost two years to her husband Joe, a Philadelphia Police Officer. They are the proud pet parents of a fabulous little pug puppy named Oreo. "Pageants have crafted my ability to think on my feet in interviews," says Teena. "The most difficult interviews I have ever had were in pageants. Job interviews are a piece of cake! I also love having the opportunity to bring attention to issues that I am passionate about. That sparkly crown and sash really opens doors and makes people listen!" Teena competed for the title of Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2013 this March 23rd, and was thrilled to be the People's Choice Award winner!

Beginning 24 years ago, Mrs. International was developed to promote today's married women, their accomplishments, and commitment to family and marriage. Each contestant competes in Interview Competition, which is valued for 50% of her overall score, Evening Gown for 25%, and Fitness Wear for 25%. Each contestant has the opportunity to select a platform of her choice that she spends the year promoting. Husbands are a direct part of the show, escorting their wives in the Evening Gown competition, and the husband crowns his wife titleholder.

Caught Being Good

The Lahoma, Oklahoma Police Chief is taking steps to create a positive atmosphere in the community by rewarding both children and adults who are setting an example by following traffic laws and showing community service and leadership. While on duty, if an officer spots a community member, or someone just passing through setting a positive example for others, they reward those individuals a coupon from one of the participating vendors, as well as stickers for the kids.

Area businesses, including McDonalds, Freddys Frozen Custer and Steak Burgers, and Sonic have joined this effort by providing coupons for free drinks, sundaes, sandwiches and ice cream for those who are caught being good.

Wives Behind the Badge Mission Statement: Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. is dedicated to providing resources and emotional support to law enforcement families, and serving as a positive voice for law enforcement in the community.

Wives Behind the Badge Members Testimonial

It was a Saturday night and my husband was working his usual night shift. I sat in front of the computer out of boredom once again and was feeling a bit sorry for myself. All of my friends were with their husbands, enjoying a movie, game night or an evening out. How come I was the wife spending her evening alone while her husband worked?

I began my search to seek out support available for police wives. I came across Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. and I immediately knew I found what I had been searching for when I read the words:
ONE FAMILY. ONE VISION. ONE BADGE. I registered the next day as a member of Wives Behind the Badge's online support forums. I learned quickly from the other members that I was never alone. It has truly been a blessing to be a part of this unique, caring and supportive group of women. There are more than 200 active forum members from all over the United States and the world, all of who I call my sisters. It is a place where I feel safe to express my life's up's and down's. My sisters cheer me on and offer advice that only one who understands and shares this life as a law enforcement officer wife can do. Please join us, you will be glad that you did! Register for our free and secure online support forum at: http:// www.wivesbehindthebadge.org/forums. Wives Behind the Badge is a big part of my life, not just through the forums, but as the director of the Oregon Auxiliary. Volunteering for this organization has allowed me to give back to the law enforcement community and make a real difference.
