Raising the Bar The American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute is a professional trade as­ sociation and as such the main focus of this organization must be to maintain and further the professional training, image, and status within the industry of its members. To accomplish this mission we must develop and uphold the highest possible standards for the practitioners of watchmaking and clockmaking. This means we can no longer continue to foster and propagate the false notion that this highly technical trade can be mastered with little or no formal training or mentoring. Enthusiastic interest in watches and clocks is certainly a good start­ BOARD OF DIRECTORS ing point but just like any other worthwhile endeavor, a great deal of time and OFFICERS effort are needed to master the required skills.

If you had trouble coming up with any resolutions for this year I would like to help you with some ideas. If you don't do so throughout the year you should look at your pricing structure for repairs. Make a resolution to monitor what your tum down rate is on various repairs that you quote to customers. Many of you may know this already, but for those of you who don't, a good rule of thumb when monitoring your turndown rate on re­ pairs is 20/80. You want to set your prices so that 20% or 2 in 10 customers walk out your door without leaving the repair because the price you quoted is too high in their opinion.

  • Counterfeiting and the Puzzle of Remedies
    WAKE FOREST INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 8 2007 ‐ 2008 NUMBER 3 PHARMACEUTICAL COUNTERFEITING AND THE PUZZLE OF REMEDIES Sandra L. Rierson* Introduction The term “counterfeiting” provokes wide-ranging and almost universally negative connotations – at least to those who are not profiting from it – and generates images of everything from fake currency to poor-quality DVD’s and designer purses. The term “counterfeit pharmaceuticals,” or “counterfeit drugs,” as commonly understood, similarly evokes a wide range of (mostly) negative images, from poisonous cough syrup laced with Diacetyl (a chemical used in antifreeze) to generic versions of drugs that are safe and effective but are being manufactured and sold in violation of U.S. patent law. Current U.S. law sweeps too broadly in defining “counterfeiting,” and, as a result, a gross disparity often exists between the level of moral culpability and actual harm caused by counterfeiting and the remedies and/or penalties that arise from it. To put it simply, current law both under- and over-penalizes counterfeiting. In both the civil and criminal context, a “counterfeit” trademark is defined as a “spurious mark” that is “identical with, or substantially indistinguishable from, a registered mark,” and whose use is “likely to cause confusion.”1 Merely infringing marks are not that different. In terms of available remedies, however, the counterfeit mark and the mark that merely infringes sharply diverge. While * Assistant Professor, Thomas Jefferson School of Law. I would like to thank all of the participants in the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal Symposium for their helpful comments and feedback on this article.
