Ruble is a hosting server and not an email server. Decker is one of the email servers for the set of servers ruble is in so it is a correct destination for email.
That error indicates the user was not set up on the email server. It can sometimes take quite a long time for new mailboxes to be set up currently. We have some new software currently in testing that will dramatically reduce that amount of time, though.

Customer Questions (37)
Q: Do you think you will ever do these pointed more towards men or gender neutral themes? My husband would love something like this. More scifi or horror or historical fiction that is not femanine.Asked by Shanellroberson, July 2020
Once Upon a Book Club answered...July 2020
Hi there! We are a female-owned and operated company so our boxes are curated to what we know and love. We currently don't have plans to offer gender-neutral or male-oriented adult or young adult boxes, however our upcoming middle grade boxes (ages 7-13) will be gender-neutral and perfect for young readers of all ages!
Q: Are the "gifts" actually usable items, or are they just story related trinkets??Asked by Heather C., March 2020
They've done a lot of different items including household stuff, kitchenwares, accessories, purses, jewelry, and recreated historical artifacts. You can see their past box archive on their main website and see all the gifts they've done in the past.
by Logan L., March 2020
Q: Are the books always some type of romance or love story?Asked by Trish O., May 2019
Book genres range each month, though the only time we've included a specific romance book is in our Valentine's Day box! Most other month's we've included mystery, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, and magical realism in our adult box, while young adult is a bit broader, featuring fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, mystery, and more!
by Logan L., May 2019
It main genre isn't romance but there may be a love interest or romance within the books. The adults box is usually historical fiction, contemporary, magical realism and thriller-like book. YA box are broader like Logan said. Mystery, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, Fantasy, etc.

Great box
Awesome subscription everyone i have put on to this loves it
Good job guys
Arvy L.
I love it so much
Wonderful idea
Great experience!!!!!
3 different titles!
Overall this is a genius idea of a book box. It is exciting to wait to open up a "present" at that time of the novel. You want to read faster just to get to open the gift! If I could offer any suggestion, it would be to have more items that can be used after the book is done. Some are casually looked at but then honestly they are put in the drawer or trash. And they are great Items that go with the novel but not anything you can use in life. There has been some journals, umbrellas, etc that can be used. But there are no many. Maybe the geniuses dreaming up the items can try and include 1-2 items that can be used after the book is finished. I am a repeat buyer who is ordering her first Christmas boxes! Very excited. I also ordered the scary halloween box. Only reason I didn't order the sweet too is it is a sequel of a book I haven't read yet. So wouldnt be able to read it.
Fun experience
Alison T.
Very entertaining read. Quality of gifts was a little disappointing. Great book which is the most important thing.
Very cool
Holly B.
This was SO COOL! I just got my first box a week ago and I've just finished the book and opened all of the gifts. The shipping was delayed quite a bit but with the pandemic and supply shortages going on, I get it. But I really loved it. The book was a three out of five stars for me but with the corresponding gifts I think I'll remember the story forever. Really great concept. I'll continue to support this company for as long as I'm able <3
Very fun
Renee K.
Subscribed for 27 days
When I got my OUAB box I had several books that I needed to read so it took me a few weeks to get to started. I'm sure by now that everyone has already opened their box which is why I'm comfortable sharing the photo of my opened surprises. It really was a lot of fun to get stuff that tied in with the story.
I recommend this box.
Lost apothecary
Susan E.
I've received 5 books from Once Upon a Book Club. I absolutely love each and every one of the books and the surprise that come with the different pages. My daughter and also love the books so after reading each book we make sure we put the surprises back what they came in.
Thank you Once Upon a Book Club,
A very happy customer ,

This is peak book club, peak subscription box, peak book-lovers dream. It doesn't get better than this. It's not just a box with a book and some swag, this is an immersive experience that will change the way you read!
Gotta Get Yourself One, Both, or More!
Toni C.
I stumbled on Once Upon a Bookclub not too long ago but didn't subscribe until the Bridgerton box came out. At that point, I went whole hog and subscribed to both the Adult and Young Adult boxes. The gifts associated with each book are quality, and so much fun to open as you read. It's quickly become my favorite subscription box I get.

Friday's NFL: Buccaneers' Tom Brady played entire Super Bowl season with partial MCL tear
By Rick Stroud
Tampa, Fla. — Tom Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl 55 victory at age 43 during a pandemic, becoming the first quarterback to win a title in his team's home stadium.
But the legend only grows from there.
Brady did it while playing with a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee that he sustained in his final season with the Patriots.
The injury gradually worsened during his first year with the Bucs and he finally had surgery to repair the MCL in late February after winning his seventh Super Bowl ring.
Brady has declined to give specifics about his knee surgery, only confirming that it was "pretty serious."
The Super Bowl MVP had acknowledged that the injury occurred prior to taking his first snap with the Bucs in training camp. Now we know it was a lot more than an arthroscopic procedure. Brady tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee during Week 1 of the 2008 season.
The MCL is a band of tissue that runs along the inner edge of the knee. It helps to connect the shin and thigh bones to keep the knee stable and working properly during movement.
The risk of playing with a partially torn MCL is that the knee can become hyperextended easily and bend in the wrong direction.
"It was an injury I dealt with really since last, you know, April, May," Brady said following the Bucs' mandatory minicamp in June. "I knew I would have to do something at the end of the year and happy I did it and it was probably something that certainly needed to be done and there was a great outcome so I'm very happy about that. I feel like there's some things I'll be able to do this year that I wasn't able to do last year."
Brady missed about one practice each week the final few months of the 2020 season, presumably to give his ailing knee some rest.
He was good enough to pass for 4,633 yards with 40 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while leading the Bucs to an 11-5 record during the regular season. He added another 1,061 yards passing with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions in four preseason games, including the Super Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.
Brady has spent the offseason rehabbing the knee and this week is working out in altitude near his summer home in Yellowstone, Mont.
Imagine how much better Brady can be with a fully repaired left knee, which he uses to step into his passes.
Two NFL teams remain under 50% vaccinated less than two weeks from the start of training camp, a person familiar with the vaccination rates told The Associated Press.
As of Friday, Washington and Indianapolis had the two lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates among the 32 teams in the league, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't released the numbers, which are changing daily.
Pittsburgh, Miami, Carolina and Denver have the highest vaccination rates and are among 10 teams that have achieved at least 85%. About 73% of players have been vaccinated. Teams on the lower end of the vaccination table face potential competitive disadvantages.
… Saints starting defensive tackle David Onyemata has been given a six-game suspension after being notified by the NFL he tested positive for a banned substance.
In a statement from the NFL, the league said Onyemata had been suspended without pay for the first six games of the 2021 regular season for violating the NFL Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances. He will be able to participate in all preseason practices and games.
Onyemata said on social media that he suspected the test result stemmed from his use of a supplement that he mistakenly believed was permissible under league rules.
… Playing home games without spectators because of the pandemic caused the Packers' operating revenues to drop nearly 27% during the most recent fiscal year.
The Packers reported $409.8 million in expenses and $371.1 million in revenues. That's the first time since 2000 the team spent more money than it brought in.
The team had a record $506.9 million in revenues a year earlier.

Kravchenko Wins on Day 6 to Secure Final Table Seat at Party Poker Premier League
Going into Day 6 of the Party Poker Premier League, only Andy Black and Tony Guoga had sewn up their spots at the final table. Roland de Wolfe and Annie Duke were in good shape, but still needed points to find their way to the final table. Day 6 would decide who went on to the final table directly, who would leave with nothing to show, and who would battle in best-of-5 heads-up playoffs to determine the final two final table spots.
In the first heat of Day 6, Vicky Coren, Annie Duke, Marcel Lüske, Alex Kravchenko, Ian Frazer, and Eddy Scharf battled for points and the final table. The first elimination would occur on the very first hand of the match. Annie Duke started the hand by raising with her [Ac][7c]. Marcel Lüske followed by reraising with his [Kc][Kd]. Ian Frazer then pushed all-in from the big blind, holding [Jh][10h]. Duke folded and Lüske made the call. The flop of [Ah][3h][3c] gave Frazer a flush draw, but the turn of [9d] and the river of [8s] would not save him and Ian Frazer was gone in last place. Also gone were his chances of making the playoffs, as Frazer was now guaranteed to fall in the final four. Frazer's elimination also mathematically reduced Phil Hellmuth's chances of making the playoffs to zero.
Annie Duke would finish in fifth place. Annie reraised Alex Kravchenko preflop with [7c][3c] and Alex made the call with [Ks][9s]. After a flop of [Kc][Jc][3d] Annie pushed all-in, receiving the call from Alex. The turn fell [Ad] leaving Annie with 14 outs, the nine remaining clubs, th three remaining sevens and the two remaining threes. None of them would fall on the river of [Qd] and Annie was eliminated. Annie earned one point, and that point would be enough to guarantee her a spot in the playoffs.
Alex Kravchenko would soon eliminate another player. Holding [9s][5h] on a flop of [9h][8s][6c], Alex bet enough to force Eddy Scharf all-in. Eddy made the call with [Qd][Jd] and would need some help to survive. He would not receive the help he needed as the turn came down [8d] and the river came down [5d]. Eddy earned two points for his fourth place finish, and he was also in the playoffs.
Vicky Coren would go out in third place, earning three points. Vicky moved all-in with [Ad][2s] only to be called by Alex Kravchenko's pocket tens. The board of [Kc][6h][4d][9h][7d] did not help Vicky, and she was gone. Vicky's fate was undetermined and she would have to watch the last match to see whether or not she was in the playoffs.
Alex Kravchenko and Marcel Lüske met in heads-up play, both hoping to get the win that would guarantee them a spot at the final table. The match ended when Lüske went all-in on the turn of a board reading [Jc][7s][3d][6h] while holding [Ks][7h]. Kravchenko called with [Qs][Jd] for the better pair. The river card was the [3c] and Kravchenko had earned the victory and a seat at the final table. Marcel Lüske was guaranteed at least a playoff spot, but could reach the final table directly if Roland de Wolfe finished in last place in the next match.

That was actually my first solo trip and with not much preparation because there was only a 50- 50 chance for it to happen then. I started the journey from my home (Cochin) but literally, my trip was started from Trivandrum because I had some works to complete there.
So I started from Trivandrum by noon, and it was less than a two-hour journey to Varkala. Bus was my medium of transport and I caught KSTRC to Kallambalam, the place from where we have to leave the highways for Varkala. That was an advice by a shopkeeper from Trivandrum because the direct buses to Varkala from Trivandrum were not too often then. From Kallambalam I got a bus to Varkala. Buses will lead you up to Sivagiri or Varkala bus stand. There is yet to complete around 3 Km to reach Varkala beach. There are some buses or else you have to catch a rickshaw for this. I even reached the cliff by walking my final 2 km. You can't trust every rickshaw drivers out there, they may charge good price even for short distances. So ask the fare before you pick one.
Varkala Sivagiri is the nearest railway station and Trivandrum International Airport is the neighbouring airport, from there you can track the same route of mine. Also, pick a rickshaw from Sivagiri.
The only thing that I prepared with was my stay option which I was booked online through booking.com. That was the cheapest one I have ever booked through online. It was a kind of backpacking hostel named 'blah blah hostel'. Yes, you read it right 😉. It was 190 per head for one night. I booked a bed in a 6-bed dormitory, and guess what I was the only guy in that room for the day, totally alone.
The hostel was pretty neat and tidy, more importantly too close to the Cliff. There were some foreigners in the nearby rooms and it was nice to have a little conversation with them too.
Similarly, you can find options to stay from affordable ranges to expensive ones which are right at the cliff itself. And I must say Varkala Cliff is the best spot to spend a night.
Once I got settled, I went for a walk in the Cliff. It will take around 15 mins or more depends on how you enjoy the walk to reach the other end of the cliff. There was a giant parking area at the entrance of a ground which will be almost filled by the time of sunset.
Many restaurants, fancy and clothing shops, resorts and everything is there alongside the cliff. You can try almost all varieties of seafood there in that soothing ambience in the lap of the Arabian sea. Without a second thought, Cliff is my personal favourite in Varkala.
Apart from the cliff, the main attractions of Varkala are the beach series.
Papanasam beach is a bit crowded during the season because there is a belief that a dip in the sea will wash away the sins in one's life. I stayed on the Papanasam beach when I visited Varkala last time. And the morning walk through the beach was one thing to remember for the lifetime.
You can land on Edava beach by walking through the cliff itself. Last time there was a team surfing there on the beach but nobody was there this time, maybe because it was not the right season. After a long walk through the cliff and Edava beach, I have turned back to my hostel.
Kappil beach is a must-visit destination at Varkala. A ride through the road separating the backwaters and sea on the other side is something really worth experiencing. Since I had been there before and it was already started raining, I skipped Kappil then.
After spending a whole day, I moved from there. Actually Varkala worth more than that. Cliff was the only destination in my chart for that time.
I know Varkala is not too far from my home and I'm gonna come back for the place. So there is no Goodbye to Varkala.


"Frame" and "reframe" have been a recurrent theme lately.
Trying to provide for family, or wanting to deplete fossil fuels to the point of no return?
Dressing provocatively, or wanting to maximize vitamin D absorption?
Sharing the benefit of hard-earned knowledge, or trying to sell more books by whatever means?
Deepening my mindfulness, or starving myself?
I'll be writing more about this, but let's start by looking at the word "frame" itself.
It _had_ to be word of the week, didn't it?
Gratitude. Thanksgiving. Gratitude (Latin gratitudo) is a state of mind. Thanksgiving is a direct translation of the Latin gratias actio -- action, specifically a performance, enactment, of thanks.
Latin gratias means "thanks," but also it means "grace," in all the multi-splendored nuances of that word. Old-English thanc instead is cognate with "think" -- thanksgiving is an enaction of your state of thoughts.
Giving thanks and feeling gratitude--are they the same for you? This is a tail that can wag the dog--the action can lead to the feeling.

Prof. brought fun to accounting
Cassie Stone
She taught accounting to a rock-n-roll beat. She helped raise money for high school drum corps and winter guard. And, in place of a mortarboard cap, she always wore a sequined beret to the commencement ceremonies.
"Scottie was beautiful because she embraced life fully," said Daniel W. Kent, director of the Human Resources Management Program in the Haile/US Bank College of Business. "Her zest for living was complete and contagious; her capacity for joy knew no boundaries. Where Scottie was, fun followed."
Glynellen "Scottie" Barty died Feb. 1 at University Hospital due to complications from a stroke suffered Jan. 30. She had been a professor in the Haile/US Bank College of Business for nearly 30 years and was also a former Faculty Senate member. Barty taught accounting and law classes.
For some students, accounting can be a difficult subject to learn, but Kent said Barty livened up her classroom by using music to teach accounting principles.
"She showed me how she taught the Accounting equation to a Bo Diddley beat," Ken said. "As I rapped out the 'bump-bump-bump bump-bump' on the table, Scottie chanted: 'Assets minus liabilities equals owner's equity.'"
The bottom line for Barty was to make sure her students had every opportunity to do their best.
"No one else would've thought to lively-up Accounting by marrying it to rock & roll – only Scottie," Kent said. "She probably belongs in both the Accounting and the Rock & Roll Halls of Fame."
Barty was known among her colleagues for her kind heart and good nature.
"She was fun," said Margaret Myers, interim dean of the college of business. "She was cool. She cared about her students, in and out of the classroom."
A memorial service was held on campus for Barty Feb. 13, but another memorial is scheduled to be held in Dayton, Ohio in April. The final date has not been set.
A scholarship for accounting students has been set up in Barty's name. Anyone interested in donating a memorial to Barty can do so to the NKU Foundation in 221 Lucas Administration Center or the Pride Youth Development Foundation, c/o Charles Gumbert, in Cincinnati.
Story by Cassie Stone


This month was tough, you guys. Normally, I love the holiday season, but this was the first Thanksgiving I didn't get to spend with my boys and it was pretty hard. I missed them terribly. Thankfully, it was only for a few days, and we still have Christmas to spend together, but I don't think I can ever go through that again. Oh geez, how am I going to survive those boys growing up and having lives of their own? I'm such a wimp - haha!
In shop news, thank you so much to everyone that shopped small this past weekend! Usually, I am better at preparing for the biggest sales weekend of the year, but I am so swamped with life outside of the shop that I dropped the ball on promoting the sale. To make up for it, I will be having surprise sales the first few weeks of December! Stay tuned!
I made a little stop-motion video earlier in the month, but man I need to figure out the lighting. Any tips?
Teaming up with one of my favorite snacks, Cuties, was awesome!
Being Disneyland annual passholders, Pat, Brody, and I got a chance to watch Disney Pixar's Coco a week early and we L-O-V-E it! I can't wait to buy it for our collection.
Speaking of Disney, I worked on Disney-inspired DIYs: Moana labels, Thanksgiving party game, Big Hero 6 fashion, card for mouse ear collectors, and a holiday shopping list!
I redecorated Louie's bed with some colorful, bilingual, handmade items, so naturally I took pictures before he destroys them later - haha!
Due to my work schedule, I've fallen behind on the everyday holiday book. I hope to rework it and finally start the drafts for illustrations. If you would like to help fund my project by becoming a patron, feel free to visit my Patreon page. As always, thank you SO MUCH to my current patrons who continue to believe in me!
I am still floored that tomorrow is already December. Eek! Let's make it a good one, shall we?


Ruled by Mercury, the Gemini woman is the messenger, she is wise and curious. She is captivating, truly enchanting. Since she is the astrology sign of duality, she is quite the challenge. A paradox. A hurricane. Her smile lights up her eyes, and she charges the air around her with her electricity. She is mysterious and has an energy nobody can match. Creative and imaginative, adaptable and full of flexibility. She is idealistic with deep, private passions. Her heart wants roots but her mind wants wings.

Zooming to the centre of the Milky Way
GigaGalaxy Zoom phase 2
The second of three images of ESO's GigaGalaxy Zoom project has just been released online. It is a new and wonderful 340-million-pixel vista of the central parts of our home galaxy as seen from ESO's Paranal Observatory with an amateur telescope.
This 34 by 20-degree wide image provides us with a view as experienced by amateur astronomers around the world. However, its incredible beauty and appeal owe much to the quality of the observing site and the skills of Stéphane Guisard, the world-renowned astrophotographer, who is also an ESO engineer. This second image directly benefits from the quality of Paranal's sky, one of the best on the planet, where ESO's Very Large Telescope is located. In addition, Guisard has drawn on his professional expertise as an optical engineer specialising in telescopes, a rare combination in the world of astrophotographers. Guisard, as head of the optical engineering team at Paranal, is responsible for ensuring that the Very Large Telescope has the best optical performance possible.
To create this stunning, true-colour mosaic of the Galactic Centre region, Guisard assembled about 1200 individual images, totalling more than 200 hours of exposure time, collected over 29 nights, during Guisard's free time, while working during the day at Paranal [1].
The image shows the region spanning the sky from the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer) to Scorpius (the Scorpion). The very colourful Rho Ophiuchi and Antares region is a prominent feature to the right, although much darker areas, such as the Pipe and Snake nebulae also stand out. The dusty lane of our Milky Way runs obliquely through the image, dotted with remarkable bright, reddish nebulae, such as the Lagoon and the Trifid Nebulae, as well as NGC 6357 and NGC 6334. This dark lane also hosts the very centre of our Galaxy, where a supermassive black hole is lurking.
"The area I have depicted in this image is an incredibly rich region of the sky, and the one I find most beautiful," says Guisard.
This gorgeous starscape is the second of three extremely high resolution images featured in the GigaGalaxy Zoom project, launched by ESO as part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009). The project allows stargazers to explore and experience the Universe as it is seen with the unaided eye from the darkest and best viewing locations in the world. GigaGalaxy Zoom features a web tool that allows users to take a breathtaking dive into our Milky Way. With this tool users can learn more about many different and exciting objects in the image, such as multicoloured nebulae and exploding stars, just by clicking on them. In this way, the project seeks to link the sky we can all see with the deep, "hidden" cosmos that astronomers study on a daily basis. The wonderful quality of the images is a testament to the splendour of the night sky at ESO's sites in Chile, which are the most productive astronomical observatories in the world.
The third GigaGalaxy Zoom image will be revealed next week, on 28 September 2009.
[1] The image was obtained from Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, by observing with a 10-cm Takahashi FSQ106Ed f/3.6 telescope and a SBIG STL CCD camera, using a NJP160 mount. The images were collected through three different filters (B, V and R) and then stitched together. This mosaic was assembled from 52 different sky fields made from about 1200 individual images totalling 200 hours exposure time, with the final image having a size of 24 403 x 13 973 pixels.
As part of the IYA2009, ESO is participating in several remarkable outreach activities, in line with its world-leading rank in the field of astronomy. ESO is hosting the IYA2009 Secretariat for the International Astronomical Union, which coordinates the Year globally. ESO is one of the Organisational Associates of IYA2009, and was also closely involved in the resolution submitted to the United Nations (UN) by Italy, which led to the UN's 62nd General Assembly proclaiming 2009 the International Year of Astronomy. In addition to a wide array of activities planned both at the local and international level, ESO is leading three of the twelve global Cornerstone Projects.
ESO, the European Southern Observatory, is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive astronomical observatory. It is supported by 14 countries: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries. ESO also plays a leading role in promoting and organising cooperation in astronomical research. ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope, the world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory. ESO is the European partner of a revolutionary astronomical telescope ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. ESO is currently planning a 42-metre European Extremely Large optical/near-infrared Telescope, the E-ELT, which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky".
A native of France, Guisard has worked for ESO in Chile since 1994, and is now the head Optics Engineer for ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). He is in charge of the optical alignment of the Paranal telescopes, as well as maintaining and improving the image quality of these telescopes and their active optics. Stéphane spends most of his free time photographing the night sky, enjoying the same crystal clear skies as the VLT. His fantastic astronomical images and time-lapse movies have been used in many books and TV programmes. Stéphane Guisard is also a photographer for The World At Night (TWAN).

The Supreme Court last week held any sale by a patent owner, irrespective of location or resale restrictions, exhausts the patent owner's patent rights related to the specific products sold. Previously, the the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that infringement of a patent occurred if products sold overseas by the patent owner were imported into the U.S. without the patent owner's permission, or if products sold by the patent owner in the U.S. subject to resale restrictions were resold knowingly in violation of those restrictions.
The case involved printer cartridges sold by Lexmark that were refilled and resold by Impression Products without Lexmark's consent. Some of the Lexmark cartridges were sold by Lexmark at a discount as part of its "Return Program". To receive the discount, the original purchaser agreed not to resell or refill the cartridges and to return the empty cartridges to Lexmark. Impression Products was fully aware of these restrictions on refilling and resale, yet acquired such cartridges, refilled them and resold them. Other Lexmark cartridges were sold overseas and Lexmark never gave anyone permission to import those cartridges into the U.S. Yet, Impression Products imported cartridges into the U.S., refilled them and resold them. Lexmark sued for infringement.
The Court of Appeals predicated its finding of infringement on 35 U.S. § 271 which provides "whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent." The Court of Appeals held that Impression Products did not have permission to resell the Lexmark products that were subject to the resell restrictions and did not have permission to import into the U.S. those products sold overseas. As such, both types of sales infringed. The Court of Appeals also held that the patent exhaustion doctrine did not apply to either type of sale.
For over 160 years, the doctrine of patent exhaustion has imposed a limit on that right to exclude. See Bloomer v. McQuewan, 14 How. 539 (1853). The limit functions automatically: When a patentee chooses to sell an item, that product "is no longer within the limits of the monopoly" and instead becomes the "private, individual property" of the purchaser, with the rights and benefits that come along with ownership. Id., at 549–550. A patentee is free to set the price and negotiate contracts with purchasers, but may not, "by virtue of his patent, control the use or disposition" of the product after ownership passes to the purchaser. United States v. Univis Lens Co., 316 U. S. 241, 250 (1942) (emphasis added). The sale "terminates all patent rights to that item." Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., 553 U. S. 617, 625 (2008).
The Supreme Court's decision may close the door on assertion of patent rights in such cases, but that may be only half the story. As the Supreme Court noted, the single-use/no-resale restrictions in Lexmark's contracts with customers may have been clear and enforceable under contract law. Thus, the resale restrictions may be enforceable under contract law against the original purchaser who breached, and may give rise to a tortious interference claim against a company, such as Impression Products, if that company had knowledge of the restrictions and induced the breach. As such, inclusion of contractually enforceable resale restrictions in sales documents related to both domestic and foreign sales may become more important in some industries than such restrictions have been in the past. Likewise, ensuring that competitors are on notice of such restrictions may be equally important.
This is just one example of how contract rights might be used to expand the protections afforded by patents. We are here to assist if you need help drafting or enforcing contracts designed to do so.
Composite picture systems used by police departments and other law enforcement agencies typically require maintaining records for thousands of people. Mug shots and other photos are stored digitally in some graphical format such as "bitmap", "gif" or "jpeg" files. These files typically are quite large, necessitating large amounts of memory for storage and processing and large amounts of bandwidth (and time) for transmission of these files to officers in the field. Various techniques are known for compressing these files to reduce memory and bandwidth requirements, but these techniques often degrade image quality. Thus, Pierce Cote set out to find a way to maintain image quality while reducing the memory required for storage and the bandwidth required for transmission.
Cote was awarded U.S. Patent No. 8,005,303 on August 23, 2011 covering a method and apparatus he developed for encoding and decoding image data. Between May, 2013 and April 2014, the patent was reexamined and in April 2014 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office again found the claims (as amended) defining Cote's invention to be patentable.
 reproducing the composite image on a second display based on the composite facial image code.
Two months later after the reexamination was complete, the U.S. Supreme Court published its decision in Aiice Corporation v. CLS Bank International.
Section 101 of the Patent Code provides that "[w]hoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor … ." There is an exception to that general principle: subject matter directed to laws of nature, natural phenomena, or abstract ideas is not patent‐eligible. In Alice, the Supreme Court established a two‐part test to determine whether patent claims are directed to ineligible subject matter.
When the owner of the Cote patent sued Nintendo for infringement, Nintendo filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings contending that the claims of the Cote patent were ineligible for patent protection under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Nintendo argued that under the Alice test Cote's patent never should have been granted. When the District Court found in favor of Nintendo, the owner of Cote's patent appealed.
While the Court did acknowledge that patent claims satisfy Alice if "the claimed solution amounts to an inventive concept for resolving [a] particular problem", the Court apparently discounted the problem Cote was seeking to address, namely to find a way to maintain image quality with reducing the memory required for storage and the bandwidth required for transmission.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but perhaps the claims would have been written differently if the lawyer who wrote Cote's claims had the benefit of the Alice decision when the patent was originally granted or even when the patent was being reexamined by the Patent Office. Likewise, if the Patent Office,which allowed the claims twice, had the benefit of Alice, it could have rejected the claims as written giving Cote's and his lawyer the opportunity to bring the claims into conformance with the new test established by the Supreme Court in Alice. This is just one reason why we keep abreast of developments in intellectual property law and share significant developments with clients and friends in articles such as this.
According to a recent U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) study, only 11.4% of the patent applications filed are initially allowed. 86.4% are initially rejected and the rest are abandoned before the PTO takes any action. In well over half the cases, these rejections are overcome and a patent is granted if the applicant does not give up.
Most rejections are for anticipation by or obviousness in view of prior art. PTO examiners will withdraw such rejections when presented with arguments and amendments sufficient, in their view, to overcome the prior art. When an examiner refuses to withdraw an improper rejection, the applicant can appeal to the Patent Office Board of Appeals and then, if necessary, to a court having the power to order the PTO to grant the patent. Last week the PTO was ordered to grant a patent on a saw safety system by a court in Washington D.C.
a reaction subsystem adapted to mitigate the unsafe condition.
The claims further require that the reaction subsystem include a brake mechanism adapted to stop the blade of the cutting tool within 10 milliseconds after detection of an unsafe condition. In other words, if a finger or some other body part of a user comes into contact with the blade, the safety system allegedly stops the blade within 10 milliseconds and thereby prevents serious injury.
braking means electrically connected to said safety circuit means for substantially instantaneously stopping the cutting member in response to said generated output signal of said safety circuit means.
The Friemann patent also specifically states: "[e]xperiments have shown that with a protective circuit arrangement in accordance with the invention it is possible for a band cutter to be stopped in about 1/200th of a second, so at the usual speed of rotation of the band cutter of 14 meters per second the run-on distance amounts to 3-5 cm." One two-hundredth of a second is 5 milliseconds, well under the 10 millisecond threshold listed in the claims SDC was seeking to patent. All of this led both the PTO Examiner and Board of Appeals to conclude that the SDC claims were not patentable given Friemann's express teachings.
But SDC was not ready to give up. Believing that the system disclosed by the Friemann patent was incapable of stopping the blade in 10 milliseconds, SDC took the PTO to court. In a real battle of the experts, SDC was able to prove to the satisfaction of the court that none of the example devices shown in the Friemann patent could stop the blade fast enough. SDC and its experts asserted that braking by the Friemann devices would not even begin for 18 to 20 milliseconds, and that, even if braking began at the exact time the user's flesh came into contact with the blade, the braking system would still require 25 milliseconds to stop the blade. The burden then shifted to the PTO to prove Friemann taught one of ordinary skill in the art in 2001 how, without undue experimentation, to build a safety system conforming to SDC's patent application claims.
To try to meet its burden the PTO attempted to show changes that could be made to what Friemann disclosed without undue experimentation that would result in total braking times of less than 10 milliseconds.
If the PTO abides by the court's order and does not appeal, not only will SDC finally get a patent, but the term of the patent will also be extended for the period of delay resulting from the PTO's refusal to grant the patent.
SDC's invention provides an asserted important safety feature for saws and other cutting tools. The only way to protect that invention is to secure a patent. Despite repeatedly receiving bad news and facing a real uphill battle in the PTO and in court, through persistence and perseverance SDC finally prevailed. While many inventors find any rejection disheartening, often these rejections are made in error and are ultimately overcome.
The team of lawyers at Nikolai & Mersereau collectively share more than 150 years of experience addressing issues related to the patentability of inventions across a wide range of technologies. More than 2500 patents have been secured by the firm for its clients, 80 already this year alone. Our attorneys have the skill and experience necessary to successfully marshal patent applications through the PTO and a track record of success securing patents for our clients. Like the attorneys who represented SDC, we don't take things at face value, but dig deeper to present the facts necessary to overcome rejections. We are ready to help you secure patents on your important inventions, just as we have for so many of our clients.
Yesterday the United Kingdom (UK) voted to exit the European Union (EU), a step referred to in the world press as BREXIT. In light of these political developments, we have been in contact with our associates throughout Europe, and particularly in the UK, to see what impact this will have on our clients' efforts to protect their intellectual property there. In this article, we provide our preliminary assessment.
Yesterday's vote does not mean that the UK is immediately no longer a member of the EU. The Treaty on European Union outlines a process for exiting that takes at least two years. No country has ever exited the European Union before so some believe the process may take as long as a decade to complete.
Whether that process is ever completed and the UK actually exits the EU is left to be seen.
Further, the vote yesterday has virtually no impact on other treaties and international agreements related to intellectual property. The UK is still (and likely to continue to be) a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization, the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and the Madrid Protocol.
Yesterday's vote should have essentially no affect on European Patents. This is because the European Patent Office is not an EU body. It was created as a result of a separate international agreement known as the European Patent Convention (EPC). In fact, countries such as Switzerland and Norway are part of the EPC even though they are not, and never have been, members of the EU.
Any of our associates in Europe who have helped us in the past secure European Patents will be able to continue to help us in the future. Likewise, when a European Patent is granted by the European Patent Office, the owner will be able to validate that patent in the UK just as it will be able to validate the patent in any other country that belongs to the EPC.
Currently, trademarks may be protected in the UK either via a UK trademark registration or an European Community Trademark Office registration. Both types of registrations may be applied for directly or through the Madrid Protocol. Any departure of the UK from the EU will have no impact on a UK trademark registration. The status of European Community Trademark Office registrations as they relate to the UK is less clear.
The trademark experts we work with in the UK are uniform in the belief that some new rules will be developed. Since these new rules have not yet been developed, it is unclear whether the protections afforded by an European Community Trademark Office registration will automatically be extended into the UK or whether some re-registration process may be required. For now, our European associates are recommending that existing European Community Trademark Office registrations and applications continue to be handled as in the past and when the new rules are promulgated the steps required by those rules be then taken. If the UK is the predominant place in Europe where a company markets its goods, it may make sense to apply for registration directly in the UK now rather than wait. We are here to assist you with this.
What may change is the number of associates we will need to work with regarding trademarks if and when the UK exits the EU. We currently have associates in all major European countries, e.g., the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Ordinarily we work with only one of them at a time to secure a European trademark registration. After any departure by the UK from the EU, we may find it necessary to work with both an associate in the UK and a different associate elsewhere in Europe. If, however, the UK decides to join the European Economic Area as a member state, like other non-EU countries such as Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein have, we may be able to continue to use a single associate located in the UK to assist us with the trademark registration process. Also, some of our associates have offices in both the UK and other European countries.
Generally the situation is the same as for trademarks.
In summary, the UK will remain a member of the EPC which is completely independent of the EU so BREXIT should have virtually no impact on the procurement and maintenance of European patents and protection in the UK. For the time being, we can continue to handle trademarks and designs as we have in the past. In the future, it may be necessary to take separate steps to protect trademarks and designs in the UK and in the rest of Europe. It is possible to pursue such separate protection now.
Some of our clients have trademark registrations in individual European counties separate and apart from their European registrations. We are often asked whether both are necessary since the protection afforded is somewhat redundant. These clients know that we have been reluctant to advise them to give up any of these registrations, primarily because of the earlier priority of the national registrations. Maintaining both the national and the European registrations now makes more sense than ever given the instability that has been created by the BREXIT vote in the UK. It is a distinct possibility that other EU countries will follow suit.
Section 505 of the Copyright Act provides that a district court "may . . . award a reasonable attorney's fee to the prevailing party." Last week, the Supreme Court attemped to clarify when such an award is proper in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Kirtsaeng, a citizen of Thailand, came to the United States 20 years ago to study math at Cornell University. He quickly figured out that respondent John Wiley & Sons, an academic publishing company, sold virtually identical English-language textbooks in the two countries—but for far less in Thailand than in the United States. Seeing a ripe opportunity for arbitrage, Kirtsaeng asked family and friends to buy the foreign editions in Thai bookstores and ship them to him in New York. He then resold the textbooks to American students, reimbursed his Thai suppliers, and pocketed a tidy profit.
Wiley sued Kirtsaeng for copyright infringement, claiming that his activities violated its exclusive right to distribute the textbooks. See 17 U. S. C. §§106(3), 602(a)(1). Kirtsaeng invoked the "first-sale doctrine" as a defense. That doctrine typically enables the lawful owner of a book (or other work) to resell or otherwise dispose of it as he wishes. See §109(a). But Wiley contended that the first-sale doctrine did not apply when a book (like those Kirtsaeng sold) was manufactured abroad.
At the time, courts were in conflict on that issue. Some thought, as Kirtsaeng did, that the first-sale doctrine permitted the resale of foreign-made books; others maintained, along with Wiley, that it did not. To settle the continuing conflict, the Supreme Court in an earlier decision involving the same case ruled 6 to 3 that the first-sale doctrine allows the resale of foreign-made books, just as it does domestic ones. See Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 568 U. S. ___, ___ (2013) (slip op., at 3).
Returning victorious to the District Court, Kirtsaeng invoked §505 to seek more than $2 million in attorney's fees from Wiley. The court denied his motion. The District Court gave "substantial weight" to the "objective reasonableness" of Wiley's infringement claim. In explanation of that approach, the court stated that "the imposition of a fee award against a copyright holder with an objectively reasonable"—although unsuccessful—"litigation position will generally not promote the purposes of the Copyright Act." Here, Wiley's position was reasonable: After all, several Courts of Appeals and three Justices of the Supreme Court had agreed with it. According to the District Court, no other circumstance "overr[o]de" that objective reasonableness, so as to warrant fee-shifting.
The Supreme Court agreed to consider the matter of whether the fees should be awarded to resolve disagreement in the lower courts about how to address an application for attorney's fees in a copyright case.
 repeated or overly aggressive assertion of copyright claims.
In the end, the Supreme Court indicated that district courts should consider the totality of the circumstances. The Supreme Court again sent the case back to the District Court so it could do so. As noted above, the District Court has already found that no other circumstances override Wiley's objective reasonableness to warrant fee-shifting. As such Kirtsaeng will likely not recover his attorney fees. However, the guidance provided by the Supreme Court should prove to be most useful when framing arguments in other cases.
