The IPKat was amused to receive a little verse from the excellent and ever-entertaining Tony McStea (Senior Patent Attorney, Global Patents, Givaudan Schweiz AG) who writes:
A reader writes: "Can anyone provide me with, or direct me to, an English-language translation of the following recent cases from France dealing with secondary liability: (i) Telecom Italia f/k/a Tiscali v Dargaud Lombard - Jan. 14, 2010, Cour de Cassation (First Civil Chamber), (ii) eBay v L'Oréal, a May 2009 decision of the Tribunal de grande instance (TGI) de Paris; (iii) Jean L. v eBay France, T.G.I. Strabourg - Dec. 15, 2009". If you can help, please email the Kat here or post a link below. Thanks!
Around the blogs. The IPKat has just been pointed to another law firm weblog with IP/IT content. It's Mablaw.com, the house blog of Matthew Arnold & Baldwin. The content actually goes a good deal wider than IP and IT, since it embraces other practice areas such as banking, employment law and residential developments. Congratulations go to patent litigation weblog PatLit for securing its 500th email subscriber. The 1709 Blog, which focuses on copyright, welcomes a new team member: Tom Harding, now of Olswang but formerly an international disc jockey and editor of IDJ.
"When I saw the mail today [this being the emailed version of the Tiger Watch competition results post, here], I was reminded of the classic limerick that requires the mispronunciation of the Latvian capital to work:Right: a tiger that's safe for any young lady to ride on.There was a young lady from Riga
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.
This spurred this:
A maker of watches called TAG erred
When riding to fame on one Tiger.
His prowess with putters
Led him on to flutters
Whose number the mind truly staggered".

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
