East Texas, a hotbed for patent infringement litigation

November 24th, 2010

Patent Infringement Attorneys East TXThroughout the last decade or so, the number of cases dealing with patent infringement has skyrocketed in East Texas. Many have come to ask why East Texas has experienced such a surge of patent infringement litigation. There are a few different factors that come into play here. The East Texas District Court has great judicial expertise on the subject, the courts are known for being plantiff-friendly, and most importantly, jurors that are usually predisposed to awarding the plaintiff with a large sum of money almost every time.

East Texas Patent Attorneys

For the reasons mentioned above, the East Texas area has become a haven for patent trolls and it has been called a renegade jurisdiction. In fact, the town of Marshall, Texas experienced a huge economic boom when it quickly became a hot spot for patent infringement litigation and it’s likely that very few people there are complaining about it!

From time to time you may see what appears to be a Hollywood movie scene as a big throng of high power patent attorneys in Armani suits makes their way down the city streets for court lunch break.

These patent litigation attorneys may have slicked back hair, a rolex on and a hot legal secretary mistress but make no mistake this is real life stuff and these guys make millions of dollars each year right here in our backyard in Marshall Texas. Maybe one of these patent lawyers will continue on as did John Edwards and go from attorney to politician.

One of the key factors in the popularity of East Texas patent infringement cases is the fact that there are a lot of professionals in the area who are familiar with patent law combined with the friendly courts towards patent plaintiffs. Like almost any type of litigation, it is very challenging to try a patent infringement case. It is very complex even from a legal standpoint and the work it takes to secure a patent is almost impossible for an average Joe to do. Thus, patent infringement lawyers are in high demand in the East Texas area!

Direct TV or Suddenlink, Which One, Hard to Decide Hmmm?

April 23rd, 2010

Well, I recently did something I didn’t want to do. I moved from Direct TV Call Now: 888-652-1609 (a service I am very fond of), back to Suddenlink Cable.  It was a difficult decision, but one I had to make as a grown adult, rather than a very, post adolescent television addict, (I confess I may be walking a fine line on that last one). My leaving the former was less the fault of Direct TV and due more to the fact that AT&T has failed to supply my residence with an internet option. When I say my residence I’m not misspeaking. There are actually those in my west Tyler suburban neighborhood, who do have AT&T as their internet provider, but for some unknown reason the company has been unable to supply me with bandwidth, lo these many years.

So what am I to do? With two writing jobs, a teaching career that is increasingly relying on an internet component, and a very active young son, I simply can’t run out in search of a hot spot every time I have to submit an article or enter a test grade into my grade book. This brings me to Suddenlink Cable. Their DSL internet is terrific! But I simply don’t want to pay for both Direct TV’s and Suddenlink’s services, not on a private school teacher’s salary.  So I made a grown up decision. I filled the DVR with my son’s favorite shows and cancelled my much beloved TiVo and my familiar satellite service, and subscribed instead cable and DSL.

The folks at Suddenlink where actually very helpful. The gentleman who set up my account was gracious enough to finagle the best deal for me; the installers were right on time, and did a fine job. So am I happy with my new arrangement? For now yeah I’ll get used to it. I can’t promise it will be a permanent solution, but it filled a more pragmatic purpose than my old situation did without really affecting my quality of life. At the end of the day however, I’m still morning the loss my TiVo subscription.  I just hope that time does indeed heal all wounds.

For more information on either Suddenlink or Direct TV, see their websites and phone numbers www.suddenlink.com or Direct TV. Then make the choice you find best meets your personal requirements.

You can find their brand named sweaters and bright pink sweat pants. PINK has a great selection of everything you need to look sporty, sexy, or even keep warm.

Their great styles vary from push-up, racer-back, wireless, strapless, full-coverage, and even for the new mothers they have nursing bras. T-shirt bras are the best fit for comfort and support. They have all types of T-shirt bras to best fit your body; such as wireless if you need less support, and push-up bra for the extra support. Racer back bras are perfect for those complicated shirts with annoying straps. The racer back has adjustable straps that allows you to adjust to your style. Full coverage bras give great comfort and fit perfectly to your body but still available in many sexy styles.

If you are looking for a sexy bra the Demi-cup bra is the perfect bra to show off what you got and flaunt your sexiest features.

Sometimes for the women with “more to love” it can be hard and really frustrating to find your size in a cute style in the store. Online you have more options and it is much easier to find what you are looking for. I recommend that everyone goes into the store to get fitted so that you get the most comfortable fit when you shop in store or on line.

But Victoria’s Secret has a very exciting and beautiful collection of clothing. If you are going to a dinner date, look at the great selection of party dresses.

Baby Shopping Showdown

January 8th, 2010

As a mom of two young girls the shopping experience can become stressful. The Tyler Texas area, being so spread out, is inconvenient, to say the least, for the mother on the go. Second hand stores, to high priced brand names, to big chains, we have what you are looking for, you just have to know where to look.

As a second hand store “Mommy and me” is a hot spot for hot prices. You can get a cute out fit for a dollar, but you might want to stop and get some club soda to get out the old spit up stains. If you are willing to dig deep you can get your moneys worth. I have found outfits that were not torn or faded, or just out of date. Although the employees that work there are always helpful and polite, and answer any questions you might have. I do love a personal touch to a store and its services. If you do decide to shop “Mommy and me” expect to find great conversation and great prices but not the cleanest or nicest hand-me-downs.
!
If the name on the tag is more important than the price on the tag, shop “Snug as a Bug”. Honestly, I don’t understand why you should pay $50 for a pair of shoes that your kids will wear for three months, but maybe that’s just my opinion. There is more than just clothes at this quaint corner store, your child’s room could be filled with beauty and value. From furniture, to curtains, to diaper bags, they have it all. Though I love the style and look of the “Snug as a Bug” products, the prices are not worth my time.

At the big chain stores, you can be sure to find good products at decent prices. “The Children’s Place” (Broadway Square Mall) and “Babies R Us” (Corner of Loop 323 and Donnybrook) are two of my personal favorite stores in Tyler. Its easy to find what you are looking for in the right sizes. No need to get stressed or have to dig, which is very convenient when you have to shop with small children. You can always expect new items determined by the season.
!
The main frustration of shopping big chain stores is that the personal services are lacking, like the feeling everyone sees you and knows you need help but avoids you in hope that their shift will go by faster. I hate circling the store looking for someone to tell me if they have a 18 months size of the shirt I have been carrying around for ten minutes. The employees at these two stores are usually very helpful, but I have had times that I felt lost and frustrated. The shopping experience should be convenient and easy. When its all laid out or hung up on the RIGHT places its much more delightful to shop at those stores. You might even enjoy yourself! 

Though second hand stores such as “Mommy and Me” have great prices, and top name brands such as “Snug as a bug” have great value, I will stick with the big chain stores so that I can always be certain of convenience, prices, and value with no let downs
