TM Notice Questions

#1 05-01-2004, 02:30 PM

I am compiling my Trademark Notice (TN) for my wife and I, and I have the following questions:

On page 196 of CTC3, second paragraph, sixth line:

"...but the benefit of establishing the Security Agreement before the mortgage was executed could easily outweigh the additional costs of publishing."

(I changed "copyright" to "Security Agreement" per the CTC3 Errata pdf.) Is this right? Makes more sense to me as "copyright" rather than "Security Agreement."

OK, We have two kiddos, and as such, we want to do 2 TM Notices, one for us, (before mortgage) and one for kids (after mortgage).

My first Question is:

Should the paragraph above read "Copyright" (as I received it) or "Security Agreement"(as corrected per the CTC3 errata)?

Be fully aware that I know that CN is now TN.

I see that you date the TM (or Copyright) Notice in the actual document, regardless of the date you publish it. so I can see that being an advantage in playing the dating game. The SA, on the other hand, must be notarized to establish date of actualization, right? so if that is the case, there would be no way to date it (the SA) before your Mortgage was entered into.

I guess my second question is: Do you have to have the SA notarized to make it authentic and legal? If so, is there any way to make it effective at an earlier date than you have it notarized?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

HB

HB,

Your children are not of the majority--basically they are still minors. they have no ability to contract just yet (unless they are of age to do so).

Please keep in mind that UCC FSs are a business tool. Although it may be key in some situations--it is not more important than the constitution and your remedy. Do not leave your remedy.
