amichalek writes "April 15th is almost upon us. Here's an article about what is likely to trigger an audit by Caroline Grimm Jordan MBA.

Who's Afraid of a Big Bad Audit?

In short, it would cost me a substantial amount of time. And, as the saying goes, time is money."

AWWinter writes "By Arnold Winter, Esq.
Trademarks are letters, words, designs, logos, slogans, and similar devices that you use to create name recognition in your market for your products or services. As such, trademarks are valuable business assets, and protecting your marks under trademark law increases the value of your business. At the same time, it's equally important that your marks don't conflict with anyone else's legal rights."
