The Ohio State University’s recent success in trademarking the word “the” was certainly a head-scratcher for those of us not well versed in intellectual property law. Even after accepting that such a common word could be protected as a trademark, we were left to wonder how much distinctiveness the seemingly blandest three letters in the English language could provide. After all, the job of a trademark is to distinguish a product from others, clearly identifying who produced it. advertisement advertisement Ohio State, and fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who also has used “the” to brand his products, seem to have succeeded in wringing meaning from the word by using it in a tongue-in-cheek way that reveals a certain silliness inherent to the idea of the trademark as an indicator of origin. It’s hard to imagine anyone really thinking, “I’ll buy this T-shirt because it has a ‘the’ label, indicating that it was produced by The Ohio State University, and … [Read more...] about How 3 little letters can make a big difference in how we think about brands

There’s a deep disconnect between regular people and Beltway elites who are far removed from everyday suffering. No matter how Democrats will positively spin the slight drop in painful consumer price inflation announced today ( from 9.1% in June to 8.5% in July ), Americans are enduring a national pay cut due to wage growth that is far below inflation. Real average hourly earnings fell 3.6% from July 2021 to July 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics . With a nearly 4% pay cut, it’s no wonder Americans are loading up on credit card debt , at a record not seen in 20 years, to pay for this inflation. (RELATED: HICKS: Democrats Are Rolling Out Yet Another Bidenflation Scam) The energy index rose 32.9% over the last year, and the food index increased 10.9% – both are the largest 12-month increases in over two decades. Americans already can’t afford the things they need by the end of the month, but Democrats’ answer is to make matters worse.

Mohamed Fane migrant from Senegal who arrived in wooden boat to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria looks at a boat at a cemetery of abandoned wooden boats in Arinaga. Spain, August 4, 2022. REUTERS GRAN CANARIA — Standing in a cemetery of abandoned boats, Mohamed Fane picks a West African franc off the floor and shudders at the traumatic memory of his voyage from Senegal to the Canary Islands. After an arduous overland trip and months waiting, smugglers shepherded the 33-year-old carpenter into a flimsy wooden vessel with two dozen others to sail from the Moroccan town of Dakhla – but it ran out of fuel far from the Spanish archipelago. One famished and thirsty man died on board, while a Spanish rescue boat saved the rest. Fane, who barely ate in three days at sea and used his water bottle to bail out the leaking boat, wept like never before when he reached Gran Canaria. “It is the hardest thing that ever happened to me, I would never repeat it,” he said. Such horrendous … [Read more...] about ‘No one can stop them’: African migrants aim for Spain’s Canary Islands

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin David Moyes said his West Ham United side weren’t prepared for the way Manchester City set up tactically against them on the opening weekend of the 2022/23 Premier League. In some ways it was a new look Man City, but despite Moyes’s surprise, many aspects of Pep Guardiola’s team remain the same, or at least similar to things they’ve done before. The unexpected twist, according to Moyes, was Guardiola returning to a formation in which his full-backs drift into midfield rather than overlapping down the wings. The two more advanced midfielders, in this case Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, can then join the forward line with the wingers staying wide, creating a shape that looks like 2-3-5 in attack . It’s a system Guardiola has used in the past, but it was especially evident on Sunday. An even more noticeable change for City in this 2-0 win was the powerful Norwegian striker leading the line, making his first … [Read more...] about Haaland Slots In At Manchester City As Guardiola Reverts To Inverted Fullbacks
