When not writing about Disney World on http://RopeDrop.Net, I am usually taking pictures with my wife (see, http://kivusandcamera.com). I'm also an IP lawyer.
Important note for @jeffcannata.bsky.social: My wife is a wedding photographer & just booked a job where the bride and groom fell in love after working together in a science lab for years. They looked up over the table, while doing science, and fell in love! It's a We Have Concerns miracle!

Winning any case is never easy, but getting a win at the summary judgment stage felt pretty good.
I previously posted about a summary judgment win our team secured in a trademark case. We’ve now published a more detailed write-up explaining how we got there — and why it matters. It's a good look at how we approach problem-solving.

“A Game about Digging a Hole” seems very close to @snowbikemike.bsky.social’s wheelhouse. Too bad it was not “A very difficult game about digging a hole with your buddies.”
