December 29, 2005 Happy Holidays, everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your support over the last eight years and wish everyone a wonderful, safe, healthy holiday and New Year. As a little treat, I wanted to point out that The Brennan Center for Justice has published a very interested report on Fair Use, that you can download for free right here. Also, the U.S. Trademark Office has (happily!) lowered their filing fee for filing new marks. This is good news for those of you who have this on the agenda for the new year. I will be happy to help out any of you who have questions or want to go ahead and register. Finally, for those of you who are looking for a last-minute tax deduction, please consider making a charitable gift to The LifeLab - the non-profit that I founded to provide free support and services to young adult cancer survivors post-treatment. You can do so quickly and painlessly here. Your accountant, thousands of young adult survivors and I all thank you!
June 19, 2005 Happy 8th Birthday to Lawgirl.com! Yes, I have been online for 8 years this month. And on the eve of celebrating this momentous occassion, I am incredibly proud to announce a new project that I have launched, which relates very little to law, but a lot to do with life. My life in particular, since as many of you know I am a cancer survivor. Please go have a visit to the website for my new non-profit organization The New York LifeLab, dedicated to helping young adult cancer survivors restart their lives after cancer treatment. Wishing you all a wonderful summer, and thank you for your support!
February 14, 2005 Happy Valentine's Day and a Happy New Year to you all. Cornell University's IP law center has published a really handy chart on copyright duration and expiration of terms, which you can find right here. I found this to be a really great resource and wanted to pass it along.
November 12, 2004 Dear World: We're really, really sorry.
