Judge Jenkins (who became an NDIL judge in February) sanctions against a #ScheduleA plaintiff and its counsel in a #trademark case: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.409127/gov.uscourts.ilnd.409127.122.0.pdf

"[W]hile some attorneys seem to approach Schedule A cases in a 'cut-and-paste' style, their professional obligations apply with equal force as in any other litigation."

Interesting Schedule A order from Judge Seeger: Plaintiff filed for a default judgment seeking $50,000 per defendant. Judge Seeger granted the motion but awarded $1,000 statutory damages per defendant. 😂 Blue Sphere v. Schedule A, 1-22 cv 5599, Dkt. 43 (NDIL Aug. 29, 2023)

So, I really love @ivory except that I find that, still, quotes are a feature I really need—I don’t like posting things to my follows without explaining why.

@mammoth does QTs, and is nice (recommendations in the alpha build are great!) but very crashy for me (often, among other things, crashing while posting and losing the text).

So: recommendations for clients that do QTs and are Good?

Oh, now isn't this interesting. While poking around in the Sterne #ScheduleA docket, I found this letter from ContextLogic (which hosts the Wish platform).

"Plaintiff has declined to disclose to ContextLogic the identity of the Plaintiff or of the intellectual property allegedly being infringed, even on a confidential basis."

@design_law Sounds like all these NDIL judges need to read and learn from this Breyer opinion:

This #Mossify case also makes me wonder:

What if, from the plaintiffs' perspective, the REAL problem with naming the defendants and stating the the infringement claims publicly is not

alerting the defendants

but

alerting potential defense attorneys?

If indeed “AI is a lot of work” (and that seems reasonable!) you have to wonder what a wiki-model for AI improvement would look like (both technically and sociologically) https://www.theverge.com/features/23764584/ai-artificial-intelligence-data-notation-labor-scale-surge-remotasks-openai-chatbots

Bellabooty is back with another #ScheduleA case, this time represented by Boies Schiller: https://www.scribd.com/document/658626873/Bellabooty-v-Schedule-A-now-with-Boies-Schiller

This is the first time I recall seeing a BigLaw firm on the plaintiff's side.

(h/t @hewittlaw for noticing the high-powered new counsel)

For some thoughts on the prior Schedule A case I saw from them, see: https://mastodon.social/@design_law/110355390713042808

Parallel universes are real! You shall be sent to live in one... forever.

You will get a choice between 5 universes that each have a similar collection of languages though technology & culture may be very, possibly hazardously, different.

To make your choice you may request one (1) kind of typical artifact. This will be fetched from each universe, you may compare to make your choice.

Electronics will be disabled. If the artifact doesn't exist... you get nothing.

What do you request?

Wrote a furious note to Sens. Murphy and Schatz about their Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, which would require parental consent for <18s to access social media, to tell them they're aiding the GOP's genocidal war on queer & trans kids by cutting them off from the vital lifeline of community, belonging, & inclusion that social media provides.

Oh, you're worried about youth mental health? All youth, or just the ones whose govt isn't actively trying to kill them?

Because when I think #Twitter, I think "the place where the great jobs are."

"Twitter appears to have made its first deal of the Elon Musk era: buying a job-matching tech startup called Laskie, Axios has learned.”

From from the USPTO on the #PatentBar:

"[T]he USPTO published an FRN implementing the suggested changes. These changes include: (1) requiring the USPTO to review certain applicant degrees in Category B every three years to determine whether they should be moved to Category A, (2) making ...all Bachelor of Science in computer science degrees from an accredited university or college will be accepted under Category A..."

Please boost ​:boost_requested:​

As part of a wave of layoffs, I got laid off from my backend development job last month as the company's financials I was working with have been steadily decreasing. I applied for another job shortly after, and after a month of interviews and an honestly great response from their team, at the last minute, they told me that they were focusing their hiring efforts away from the US and towards Singapore. With Calckey donations, I don't have enough money to pay for rent or groceries. So I'm asking to #GetFediHired, I'm the lead developer on the Calckey project, and I'm a fullstack, multi-language developer. I have 3+ years of enterprise experience, and I work great on teams as well as solo. Resume and references available upon request.
