Feeling a little defeated bc my 3rd attempt at making the Bloodborne hunter's hat out of paper is so close but the actual hat part itself is too big for the hole to attach the brim to even though I made so so sure to line all the registration lines up correctly???

So if I'm not getting it like I want to on paper I'm nervous about trying with EVA foam idk :/

I'm sad, I don't want this costume to flop bc I couldn't get the hat right but the hat's arguably the most important part :(((

I CANNOT OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF CHECKING YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

I just found out that North Carolina, one of the closest Presidential swing states in the country where a self-proclaimed "Black Nazi" and Holocaust Denier is running for Governor, has purged 10% of its voters.

And this same story is being repeated all over the country, on various pretexts (like not having voted/registered recently).

Republicans can't win a fair race. They KNOW they can't win a fair race. So they're trying to cheat.

If your vote didn't matter they wouldn't be trying so hard to deny it. Don't let them take your voice away.

(Also, vote Josh Stein for Governor if you're in North Carolina.)

And if you're "in suspense", you can still vote!! Maybe bring extra proof of identity with you, if you have it, just in case, but you can still vote!! Make sure you still vote!!

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.)

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

How long does it take to register a trademark?

Trademark registration is a crucial step for businesses looking to protect their brand identity. While the timeline for registering a trademark can vary depending on several factors, the typical process takes anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, though it could be shorter or longer based on the specific circumstances. Below is an overview of the different stages involved in the trademark registration process and the timeframes associated with each.

1. Trademark Search (1-2 Weeks)

Before filing an application, it is highly recommended to perform a trademark search to ensure your mark is unique and does not conflict with existing registered trademarks. This search helps identify any potentially similar marks that might cause confusion and lead to your application being rejected.

Timeframe: A preliminary trademark search can be completed within 1 to 2 weeks. However, this stage can be longer if more extensive searches or legal opinions are required to analyze the results.

Importance: Conducting a thorough search can save time and money by preventing unnecessary filing of a mark that may face objections or opposition.

2. Filing the Application (1-3 Days)

Once you have confirmed the availability of your trademark, the next step is filing the application with the relevant trademark office. This process can typically be done online through the intellectual property office’s portal. The application must include essential information such as the applicant’s details, a clear representation of the trademark, and a list of goods or services associated with the mark.

Timeframe: Filing the application itself is a relatively quick process and can be done within 1 to 3 days. However, this timeline may vary depending on the complexity of the trademark and the completeness of the application.

3. Examination by Trademark Office (3 to 6 Months)

After submission, the trademark office will begin the examination process. This is one of the most time-consuming stages. A trademark examiner will review the application to ensure it meets all legal requirements, including distinctiveness, non-conflict with existing marks, and compliance with public order and morality.

Timeframe: This examination phase typically takes between 3 to 6 months in most jurisdictions. In some cases, it could take longer depending on the backlog at the trademark office, the complexity of the application, and the specific office’s workload.

Process Details: During examination, the trademark office will assess whether your mark is eligible for registration. If there are no issues, the application will move forward. If there are concerns or objections, the applicant may receive an office action, which requires a response within a set time frame.

4. Publication for Opposition (1 to 3 Months)

Once the trademark examiner finds that the mark is acceptable, the trademark will be published in an official gazette or journal. This is a public notice period where third parties can raise objections or oppositions to the registration of the mark.

Timeframe: The opposition period typically lasts between 1 to 3 months. During this time, anyone who believes they will be harmed by the registration of the mark can file an opposition.

Possible Delays: If an opposition is filed, the process may be delayed further, as both parties may need to engage in legal proceedings to resolve the matter. This could significantly extend the timeline.

5. Registration or Refusal (2 to 4 Weeks)

If no oppositions are filed, or if any opposition is successfully resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark will proceed to registration. The trademark office will issue a certificate of registration, granting the applicant exclusive rights to use the trademark for the specified goods or services.

Timeframe: The registration process usually takes 2 to 4 weeks once the opposition period has expired, assuming no further complications.

Alternative Outcome: If the examiner finds issues that are not resolved through office actions, or if an opposition is unsuccessful, the trademark application may be refused, and the applicant will need to reconsider their mark or file a new application.

6. Total Time for Registration (6 Months to 1 Year)

In most cases, the entire trademark registration process takes around 6 to 12 months. However, several factors can influence this timeline, including:

Jurisdiction: Some countries have faster processing times, while others may take longer due to bureaucratic delays or higher application volumes.

Opposition and Legal Challenges: If there are oppositions or challenges, the timeline could extend significantly. Trademark litigation or complex legal issues can add several months or even years to the process.

Office Backlogs: Trademark offices that handle a high volume of applications may experience delays due to backlogs, which could lengthen the review and examination process.

International Registration: If applying for international trademark registration (e.g., through the Madrid Protocol), the process may take longer due to the involvement of multiple national or regional trademark offices.

7. Expedited Processes (Optional)

In some jurisdictions, applicants may request expedited processing of their trademark application for an additional fee. This can speed up the examination process, sometimes reducing the time from several months to just a few weeks.

Timeframe for Expedited Applications: Expedited processes can cut down processing time to as little as 2 to 3 months, depending on the jurisdiction and the complexity of the application.

Trade Mark Infringement in India

A business establishment functions within a geographical area in order to provide certain goods and services to the customers with an intent to distinguish themselves from other competitors in the market. In order to boost healthy competition amongst the players in the market adequate protection must be given to protect the intellectual property rights of the businesses. This unique identity is established through providing good quality products and services, appropriate product pricing, efficient product design, good customer services, etc. Furthermore, in a growing economy with a vast number of businesses operating, each competing to maximize their market share, the customers often are not able to distinguish between different product offerings. In order to distinguish their products and services, business establishments use trademarks that are usually visual marks like colours, logo, symbols, etc and are used to indicate a particular business’s products and services. Trademarks allow businesses in creating a unique identity and also help the customers in making prudent decisions. A trademark helps a business to develop its goodwill through creating a unique identity and is treated as an asset for the business. Such trademarks are personalised and are associated to a particular business establishment. With the substantial ease of doing business in India, there has been an increase in the number of start-up businesses registering their trade marks in the country which is evident from the increase in the number of applications for registration.
