When I give a Christmas present, I like it to be something useful and enduring. (Don't tell my wife, but I got my her a Shop Vac). For my dear readers, I have just such a gift: the entire November-December 2011 issue of The Trademark Reporter (Vol. 101 No. 6), featuring a star-studded lineup of authors. Once again, I thank my friends at TMR for granting me permission to post these articles. [Note to e-mail subscribers: you will have to surf to the TTABlog to find active links to the articles].
