This document summarizes the importance of trademark protection and registration. It notes that intellectual property theft costs businesses $250 billion annually. While some protection comes from using a mark, registering it federally or at the state level provides broader legal protection. To protect a mark, businesses should monitor for improper uses, pursue true infringers, and maintain registration through continued use and renewal filings every 5-10 years. As a business and its marks evolve, new registrations may be needed to protect modified versions. Proper trademark protection and enforcement helps preserve a business's identity and assets.July.August 2011 Estate Planner

The document summarizes a 2011 bankruptcy court ruling regarding whether a private stock sale transaction could be avoided under bankruptcy code.

Two Mexican companies, Vitro SAB and Satmex, used U.S. bankruptcy laws to restructure their debts. Vitro filed for bankruptcy in Mexico and then filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the U.S. to stay litigation. Satmex filed two Chapter 11 bankruptcies in the U.S. directly. Both companies needed access to U.S. bankruptcy courts but chose different routes, with Vitro using Mexico as the main proceeding and Satmex choosing the U.S. The cases demonstrate how global companies can use voluntary and involuntary filings across multiple jurisdictions as part of their restructuring strategies.Ad
