Don’t let your east Texas town partner in crime let Juarez be a warning

January 30th, 2011

Small town acceptance of wrong doingWhile considering the current issue of the number of “patent troll” cases taking place in the East Texas area I remembered a story I heard of a town in the Juarez Valley outside of the Mexican border city of Juarez.

During the past number of years the people of a small town in the Juarez Valley became aware of the drug trafficking taking place in there town due to its proximity to the United States.

But instead of doing something to rid themselves of this illegal practice they created a kind of symbiotic relationship as the drug traffickers brought business to the small town.

As time passed, the highly documented battle for trafficking territory began to take place and reached the small town resulting in atrocious acts of violence and killing.

The small town’s passive acceptance of the traffickers and their business began to have its repercussions as the violence spilled over into their lives and climaxed when, one day, notes were posted throughout the town announcing a date in which every person had to leave town or be killed.

Of course, not at all to this extreme, the concern for East Texas is that there will not be passive acceptance of these “patent trolls” just to capitalize on their business.

The desperateness of these “patent trolls” to have their cases brought to the favorable court circuit in East Texas reached an all-time high when it was reported that one group set up an employee-less front in a local Tyler office in order to file in a court there.

If the people of East Texas continue to allow this ridiculous practice to take place, there could be repercussions later greater than expected. Because when you sell your soul to the devil, you will get burned!

East Texas Intellectual Property Insurance

September 28th, 2010

Intellectual property insurance is unique, and you probably haven’t heard about it if you haven’t had to use it. The purpose of intellectual property insurance is to protect companies from copyright, patent, or trademark infringement claims that are made against them. Just like your car insurance would, intellectual property insurance pays the costs for the defense should a suit arise as well the judgement, up to the policy limits of course.

With a business in East Texas, it is important to know at least the basics on intellectual property insurance. To start, there are two main types of intellectual property insurance. One type protects you if you have to go after someone for infringing on your copyright. This type pays the costs of filing suit against the individual or company violating the copyright. The second type protects you from being sued by another company or individual for infringing on their copyright. In this case, the insurance company pays for your defense and court costs.

If there is any possibility that you or your company could be sued by a competitor for infringing on their idea or that a competitor could infringe on your idea, it is absolutely necessary to have intellectual property insurance. Unless you have a large amount of extra money laying around, a copyright infringement lawsuit could bankrupt your company in a hurry.

Obtaining intellectual property insurance in East Texas requires that you show proof of registration for your copyright, trademark, or patent.

Companies and Intellectual Property Insurance

Intellectual property insurance is pretty interesting and many who aren’t involved with a large Tyler Texas company have never heard of it. Basically, just as you insure your car or house in case of an accident, intellectual property insurance can insure a company both for getting sued for copyright infringement and going after someone suspected of stealing an idea from the company.

Sometimes, the second coverage (for going after an individual who stole your intellectual property) is a separate package and is called a pursuit policy. This is because it helps to pay the legal expenses it takes to pursue an alleged offender.

Intellectual property insurance can make the difference between the life or death of your Tyler business! If the threat exists that you could find yourself in an argument over intellectual property rights, then you should undoubtedly equip yourself with intellectual property rights insurance.

Even if you are the creator of a copyright, it can still be hard to hold onto it without intellectual property insurance. If you have to go to court to defend your patent and have no intellectual property insurance, you could very well spend all of your money just defending what is already yours.

An intellectual property insurance plan is very simple. If someone tries to steal your idea or accuses you of stealing theirs, the insurance will kick in and pay your legal fees for defending yourself.
