On Thanksgiving, Zanche is suffused with gratitude for the rescue facility that took her in as an abandoned young cat & saved her life. literally, the name is S.A.V.E. (Skillman NJ)
Zanche encourages you to give generously to the animal rescues in your hometown & to adopt your own rescue animal.

Lilith, also a rescue from S.A.V.E.,who has not quite recovered from her early-life trauma, nonetheless has a Thanksgiving wish that you will rush out on Black Friday to adopt a homeless kitty or dog.
"the life you save may be your own."

Your patent freedom-to-operate search found a patent your invention may infringe. Time to panic? NO.

This isn't legal advice & I’m not your lawyer. Please seek the counsel of a licensed attorney for your specific legal needs.

I'm working on some "fun" posts for next week. I'm using a Tom Waits vs. Frito-Lay case to make some points AND tying it to aquatic horror.

One of my favorite things about being a solo attorney is that I don't have a boss telling me my social media content is "too weird" or "too political"!

We go out for Thanksgiving now because doing all that cooking and cleaning up the mess for our tiny family doesn't make sense, but in the last few years we did bother to cook, I was removed from pumpkin pie duty because I forgot to add the sugar. Don't bake while working, folks!
November 26, 2025 at 9:33 PM
I'll have a full post up on this later today.
Awesome! Just in time for my posts next week that include that Tom Waits example to illustrate right of publicity!

Expect that Waits v Frity-Lay case to be cited in plaintiff briefs and judicial rulings. Also the Bette Midler v Ford case.

You'd think marketing firms would learn, but clearly not.

I am so nerding out over this Cash v. Coca-Cola right of publicity / ELVIS Act lawsuit!!! I am a music nerd and IP law nerd and used to practice in TN. Trifecta!

I bet I'm going to get banned from Coca-Cola's YouTube channel for my comment there.

I miss him and his opinions so much.
Found by a restaurant dumpster, eventually would only accept whipped cream from a particular brand, only the fat-free kind, only in a certain bowl, and only if I'd eaten some of it first.

I really wish I had dual citizenship somewhere so I could renounce my citizenship to whatever the hell is attempting to masquerade as the USA now. It's making me sound like a sovereign citizen lunatic. But if the Constitution doesn't really matter any more, is there even a USA?

Apparently we no longer have a First Amendment.
The FBI has requested interviews with six Democrats regarding their video, which reminds troops to follow the Constitution.

The Trump administration saw the now-infamous video as treasonous, called for them to be hanged, and is weighing court-martialing Sen. Mark Kelly. trib.al/ELXKBpd
