  • US Firms Performance During Recessions: a Comparative Case Study
    US firms performance during recessions: a comparative case study by Catherine Obiribea Ofori-Bah B.A., University of Ghana, 2017 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Agricultural Economics College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2020 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Vincent Amanor-Boadu Copyright © Catherine Obiribea Ofori-Bah 2020. Abstract With the majority of economists predicting that the US economy will experience a recession by 2021, it has become increasingly important to explore how well firms do during recessions. Improving understanding of firm characteristics that sustain performance during recessions could provide some learning from the strategies pursued by these firms that maintain their performance during recessions. The study is a case analysis of six US firms, four in the agri- food sector, and two in the technology sector. While numerous performance measures exist, the study intentionally uses return on sales as the performance measure of interest because of its unique characteristic of capturing firms’ current situation over which they have current control. Return on sales, defined as the ratio of net income to sales revenue in the current period, limits performance assessment to current results, allowing for the direct impact of recessions to be measured. The study theorizes that certain firms fare better than others because of their product mix. It also hypothesizes that return on sales as a performance indicator during recessions is determined by how well firms do with their assets and other financial resources. These are tested using 30 years of financial data from Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS), hosted by the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

  • United States District Court District of Connecticut
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC., Plaintiff, v. No. 3:19-cv-01434 (JAM) J-B WELD COMPANY, LLC, Defendant. ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION This case arises at an uncommon intersection between the repair of car mufflers and principles of intellectual property law. For several decades now, plaintiff Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) has trademarked the term “MUFFLER WELD” for a product it sells to seal cracks on car mufflers. But last year J-B Weld Company, LLC (J-B Weld) began to sell its own formulation of a muffler sealant using the mark “MufflerWeld.” In light of the similarity of these terms, ITW has now moved for a preliminary injunction to bar J-B Weld from continuing to market its product under the “MufflerWeld” name during the pendency of this litigation. ITW argues that it is likely to succeed on its trademark infringement claim and that it is being irreparably harmed. In response, J-B Weld argues that the difference in trade dress (packaging) between its product and ITW’s product defeats any claim of trademark infringement, and that ITW has not shown irreparable injury in any event. For the reasons described below, I will grant ITW’s motion for a preliminary injunction. BACKGROUND The facts relevant to this motion for a preliminary injunction are largely uncontested. ITW has, since 1976, sold a sealant for automotive exhaust systems under the name “MUFFLER WELD.” Doc. #4-2 at 1 (¶ 3) (“Agrafojo Decl.”). In 1977, the United States Patent and Trademark Office entered a trademark for MUFFLER WELD on the Principal Register, “for paste sealer for repairing muffler holes,” noting that the application disclaimed the word “muffler” aside from the mark as shown.
