Hello. Quoting from Rodney W. Grimes (Sun Aug 20 05:48:34 1995): ... > ready to handle.

My lawyers can handle an international registration on behalf of any legal entity you indicate, with fair good discounts on the normal rates. They are 42 lawyers here in Italy, devoted to 'trademarking', they can directly handle any registration in both western and eastern Europe, the United States, China, Honk Kong and they are associated with the major firms in the rest of the world. I have very good prices, and I was very stisfied each time I used their services. I'm not related to them, I'm just a *really* sat- isfied customer. I can directly ask them to perform a reserch on the trademark, but they obviously need a letter from the company (or associa- tion) to actually register the name. Since I think this discussion an get very techincal about trade- marking international law, I think we can save traffic on -hack- ers list by using something like "FreeBSD-tm@free.it", a list I can setup immediately. Moreover, even if I'm not lawyer, I'm pretty educated about these problems, and anyway I can get advice from them for free, so I think it's worth using this resource. All those interested in forming (and joning) the FreeBSD- tm@free.it list, send an e-mail to piero@free.it.
