		<description><![CDATA[Update on the ongoing Invicta saga&#8230; I&#8217;ve been made aware that Invicta has actually filed suit against Plasticase now.  (See THIS POST for the back-story.)  I haven&#8217;t had a chance to review the pleadings in depth, but the complaint is based on Plasticase&#8217;s alleged &#8220;false marking&#8221; of its cases.  False marking occurs when someone marks [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floridaiptrends.com&#038;blog=711062&#038;post=262&#038;subd=kwimberly&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interest in this case has been very high, so I&#8217;m going to update it more often than most cases. Invicta was served with the Complaint on April 8th.  An answer or other motion tolling the time to answer should be filed in the next couple of days.

		<description><![CDATA[Invicta evokes a polarizing response from &#8220;watch geeks.&#8221;  Some appreciate the value-priced quality while others sniff that Invicta is merely a &#8220;TV brand&#8221; due to its ubiquitous presence on ShopNBC.  Still others delight in the (fictional) misfortunes of its CEO from disgruntled purchasers.  More recently, Invicta has been blazing a trail in the oversized watch [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floridaiptrends.com&#038;blog=711062&#038;post=217&#038;subd=kwimberly&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Walgreens, in which Walgreens was sued for some allegedly infringing Crocs-like shoes (original post HERE). The case involved design patent infringement and was one of the first cases in Florida to handle the Federal Circuit&#8217;s Egyptian Goddess opinion.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been waiting for the right time to present this case, and I think the recent freezing temperatures in Florida provide the perfect backdrop for this trademark, copyright, and patent infringement lawsuit. Superbowl XXXVII introduced the general public to the &#8220;nipple shield.&#8221;  Janet Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;wardrobe malfunction&#8221; created a huge controversy based on nine-sixteenths of a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=floridaiptrends.com&#038;blog=711062&#038;post=150&#038;subd=kwimberly&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The name of the presentation was &#8220;Design Patent Infringement Gets a Manicure&#8221; and covered the recent Egyptian Goddess design patent case.
