  • (ACU) Company Report – November 14, 2015 Acme United Corporation Is a Worldwide Supplier of Cutting Devices
    Smallcaps Investment Research Acme United Corp. (ACU) Company Report – November 14, 2015 Acme United Corporation is a worldwide supplier of cutting devices, measuring instruments and first-aid products for school, home, office, industrial and hardware use. In the third quarter, ended September 30, 2015, Acme United achieved record back-to- school sales and record earnings. In addition, the Company is on course for a new annual sales and earnings record in 2015. Also 2016 looks very promising. The full optimization of the Company’s three first aid brands, will lead to cost savings of up to $1 million in 2016 and beyond. We also foresee plenty of growth for Acme’s other brands. Camillus, for example, is gaining market share with its knives, and camping & hunting gear. At Clauss, a number of market tests with large retail chains are ongoing with strong results so far. As for Westcott, we should start to see the full impact of the large Office Depot/Office Max scissors account for North America that Acme picked up a couple of months ago. Based on our outlook and calculations, we reiterate our buy recommendation for Acme United Corp. with a price target of $28.67, which is 68% above today’s stock price. The decline of the Canadian dollar and euro versus the U.S. dollar has stopped in recent months. Both segments are reducing costs with suppliers, trimming expenses, and increasing their selling prices to somewhat regain their margins. All these efforts should start to have a positive impact. The Cuda fishing tools brand has launched an entire line for fresh water fishing.

  • I4i Makes the Patent World Blind Michael J
    COMMENTS i4i Makes the Patent World Blind Michael J. Conway† All patents receive a presumption of validity pursuant to 35 USC § 282. Courts have traditionally put this presumption into practice by requiring inva- lidity to be established by clear and convincing evidence. The Supreme Court reaffirmed this understanding of the presumption in Microsoft Corp v i4i Ltd Partnership. District courts have divided, however, on whether to require clear and con- vincing evidence when the challenger seeks to invalidate a patent for covering inel- igible subject matter. The conflict originates from a concurrence written by Justice Stephen Breyer in i4i, in which he stated that a heightened standard of proof—like the clear and convincing standard—can apply only to issues of fact, not issues of law. Because subject-matter eligibility has traditionally presented an issue of law, some courts hold that subject-matter-eligibility challenges cannot be subjected to the clear and convincing standard. Other courts agree with that sentiment but would apply the clear and convincing standard to resolve any underlying issues of fact. Still others maintain that subject-matter-eligibility challenges must be estab- lished by clear and convincing evidence. This Comment resolves this ambiguity by showing that subject-matter- eligibility challenges must be established by clear and convincing evidence. It com- pares subject-matter-eligibility challenges to two other patent validity challenges: the on-sale bar and nonobviousness. These two comparisons show that patent law has consistently failed to confine the clear and convincing standard to issues of law. In fact, the standard has been imposed without regard for the distinction be- tween issues of law and fact.

  • Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Update
    Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Update August 2011 Member FINRA/SIPC www.harriswilliams.com What We’ve Been Reading August 2011 • The biggest story from inside the Beltway over the last month was the battle and eventual deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to avoid an impending August 2nd default. The Budget Control Act of 2011 will raise the debt ceiling by $2.1-$2.4 trillion, while reducing spending by approximately $2.1 trillion over the next decade. In an interesting post-deal analysis, Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times notes that despite the protracted negotiations over a broad spectrum of cost-cutting measures, healthcare was not raised as a primary issue. Some have found this especially concerning, considering the outsized portion of the Federal Budget currently allocated to healthcare spending, which is forecast to rise in the coming years. A recent article in The Economist, entitled “Looking to Uncle Sam” makes this point and goes further to suggest that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) actuaries may be underestimating future increases in Medicare and Medicaid spending. • One potential reason CMS actuaries may be underestimating the future costs of Medicare and Medicaid relates to healthcare reform’s effect on employee benefits, and specifically, the 2014 switch to subsidized exchange policies. A recent report by McKinsey & Company estimates that approximately 30% of employers will stop offering employer- sponsored insurance (ESI) when this switch is made, as opposed to the 7% estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. An ESI exodus of this magnitude could cause substantial strain on an already robust government healthcare budget.
