Over time, a consistent track record based on the quality of your products or services, and effective advertising, can attach brand value.

How #JeSuisCharlie has been subject of 50 #trademark applications - @HuffPostUK article with quotes from @EIP_Brands http://t.co/0r7Yti76qR

@cantabip it is what you do when you are supposed to follow a decision but you don't want to and cannot explicitly diverge

@cantabip the word we use in England is "distinguished" - ie every subsequent case distinguished factually

@cantabip tbh I am not sure they are patentable in Europe. V hard to get EPO to accept that case is a Mobil-type situation.

@sciencebase Yes I got that; admittedly my addition was less humorous. Maybe if I add a smiley face it will help :-)

@sciencebase around me, GP receptionists count calendar months, while pharmacists count 4-week months, so always in danger of running out.
