POSTMASTER: Send address changes to HOROLOG/CAJ. nMES, 701 Enterprise Drive, Harrison, OH President's Message Jim Door By the time you receive this, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors will be a thing of the past. I cannot tell you who the new officers are. I do know that Glenn Gardner, Joe Juaire and Jim Sadilek will have "retired" from the Board. They may return sometime in the future. On behalf of our organization, thank you to all three for your efforts. Roland Iverson and Matt Henning join us along with a new Affiliate Chapter representative. I welcome you and look forward to working with you this coming year. The Board officially sets policy but they do not do all the work. We have quite a capable staff, led by our Executive Director, Jim Lubic. They accomplish much for us. The most important element, the lifeblood of the organization is you, the member. We need your help on committees, bringing us information and inspiration. Even if you are unable to serve on a committee we need your input, your ideas, and yes, your prayers. Please do not be discouraged if it seems your ideas or advice is not acted upon. Some items need a bit of time to study, to refine and then to implement. The Board does seriously consider the input from all who share with us. Some ideas are ahead of their time, for others we may not have the resources or upon study we may find some not feasible. It is not easy working on a Board. There is so much we wish to accomplish but are not able to do so. Sometimes we must vote in a manner that actually may have negative effects on us personally but are the best decision for our membership as a whole. Board members give up time from their benches and their families to work for you. We are not martyrs, but do what we can for the improvement of our membership. Thank you for your support in the past and together let us continue to make this the best organization for horologists. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW As I type this message we are preparing for the 45'h Annual Convention and Board of Direc­ tors meeting in Minneapolis, MN August 4'h through the 7'h. Registrations continue to come in, the courses scheduled prior to and after the convention are full, and we are hoping for record participation at this year's convention/meeting. The 2005 A WCI Clock and Watch survey results are published in this month's HT. Please turn to page 42 for the complete survey results. I also have an appeal for clock movements from our Clock Instructor, Laurie Penman. Mr. Penman tells me that he needs simple spring driven, pendulum striking movements. They do not necessarily need the pendulums and the condition of the clocks is not important so long as all the parts are there. They will be used for students to disas­ semble and assemble as practice. Any damage as a result of inexperienced dismantling will not be important, but the exercise is very valuable for students who are absolute beginners. You may send any clock movements that you would like to contribute to A WCI to the attention of Clock Instructor, Laurie Penman. If you have any questions for Mr. Penman regarding this request, his contact information is on page 56 in the A WCI Employee Directory. You may also donate these clock movements to the A WCI-ELM Charitable Trust. A letter will be sent to you acknowledging your donation which can be used for tax purposes. However you decide to contribute, it will be most appreciated. As always, be sure to thank our advertisers when placing your orders. 2 Horological Times · August 2005 There's No Time To Lose!

  • 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.
