Can emissions trading work beyond a national program?: some practical observations on the available tools

Article Abstract:

A draft proposal has been put forth by the US to set up an international emissions trading program through the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development Framework Convention on Climate Change. The criteria for a successful program of this type have not yet been met, however. An emissions budget must be established with objective criteria for quantifying credits. Other implementation issues include enforcement, participation of industry, duration of the credits, environmental impact, and creation of a global market.

Slogans - protectable marketing tools?

Article Abstract:

Slogans can be registered as legal trademarks if they meet four criteria. They must not say a usual thing in usual words but function as a trademark. They must be a separable part of a larger design. They must not be buried in print such that they are lost in a larger message. They should not be titles or descriptive titles of works. If the four criteria are met, slogans can be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Tools of the trade; judging, like carpentry, requires craftsmanship

Article Abstract:

A Connecticut trial judge was invited to North Carolina to help his son-in-law/building contractor build a house. He relates his experience, with the conclusion that, although he embarked on the job to work with his hands, he also learned about judging. The precision necessary in carpentry enhanced his appreciation of the complex nature of judging.
