In 2003, patent No. 6630507 was granted to the Department of Health and Human Services. Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties. Patent No. 6630507 also references 12 other U.S. patents related to cannabis dating back to 1942.

If one cannot duplicate a phone number or street address, then why should one have the power to duplicate a domain name? Domain names, similar to words and symbols, can be used to identify a seller’s products and distinguish them from the products of another, and are thus viewed as trademarks. The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals recently ruled that a business must use its domain name to sell goods or services in order to protect the name — even if a competitor starts to use the name after you registered the domain. In other words, merely reserving a domain name isn't enough. Thus, its important to register your domain name, because if your domain name has a trademark, the URL has protection under the USPTO.
The Trademark Act of 1946 (“Lanham Act”) prohibits uses of trademarks that are likely to cause confusion about the source of a product or service. 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1125(a). Moreover, to establish a trademark infringement claim under the Lanham Act, a plaintiff must establish that defendant’s use of a mark is confusing similar to plaintiff’s. Id. The main area of inquiry in trademark infringement cases is whether the similarity of the marks is likely to confuse customers about the source of a product or service. ., 174 F.3d 1036, 1062 (1999).

Often times business owners do not anticipate disputes until they arise. As a result, income might be lost due to contract breaches; ownership might be in the limbo due to outside lawsuits and claims; and tensions amongst business owners may rise. Lastly, a California business that is facing a lawsuit must be represented by an attorney. As such, a business owner cannot represent themselves in pro per.

Commercial Lease Agreements vs. Residential Lease Agreements California commercial lease agreements and residential lease agreement have a few major differences between them. In California, there are a few legal protections available for commercial leases in comparison to residential lease agreements. For instance:
Before you file a lawsuit for breach of contract in Los Angeles Court there are a few requirements to prove. In order to be successful in a breach of contract lawsuit, the Plaintiff must prove the basic elements for breach of contract, including: Whether or not a valid contract existed.
The four basic requirements of a valid contract include the following:
There are many advantages of incorporating a business in California, each business form hold different advantages and disadvantages.
While, there are many benefits of incorporating a business, choosing to register your business under the form of a Limited Liability Company, or "LLC" is one of the more common and better choices. Here are four (4) reasons why forming an LLC in California is the best decision:
An LLC can be organized in various ways. The beauty of an LLC is that the structure of the firm is virtually entirely up to founders' imagination! This is in stark contrast to the rigid, formal structure of a corporation.
Unlike a corporation, which mandates board meetings and shareholder votes along with other burdensome default rules, an LLC has virtually no mandatory rules. Rather, the statutes in your jurisdiction will provide default rules which can be contracted around in the Operating Agreement.
To protect your business or brand from infringement, you may want to trademark your domain name in addition to a logo, slogan, or design. Merely, registering a domain name does not give you trademark rights, rather it identifies your website and generally will not prevent others from using the name. If you trademark your domain name, you have legal protection if a third party uses your trademarked name. You can file a trademark infringement action against the infringing party and recover money damages, financial losses, and other damages you might have incurred.
The domain should function as a "source indicator." It must convey to whoever sees the URL what products or services are behind the name. A domain qualifies as a trademark when it is a "source indicator." Your domain must convey the products or services associated with the name to whoever sees the URL. Not all domain names can be registered as trademarks. The PTO is particular about what can be registered as a domain name.
Consumer confusion occurs when another company has a domain name close in spelling to your domain. The other company's name might different by one letter. Generally, consumer confusion matters only if a domain name that's similar to the one you want to use is a protected trademark. To be protected, a trademark must be distinctive. If the trademark owner has been able to register a name with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, it is probably distinctive. The dispositive question in trademark infringement cases is whether the similarity of the marks is likely to confuse customers about the source of a product or service. Interstellar Starship Services, Ltd. V. Epix, Inc., 304 F. 3d 936, 941 (2002).
Initial interest confusion occurs when the defendant’s use of plaintiff’s trademark sways consumers towards their own product or service by capturing “initial consumer attention.” Brookfield at 1045. In the context of website domain, the defendant’s unauthorized use of the trademark confuses consumers who expect to find the plaintiff’s product or service at that web address. Interstellar at 942. Although actual confusion is not required, plaintiff must prove a probability of confusion, as the mere possibility is not enough. Perfumebay.com Inc. v. eBay, Inc., 506 F.3d 1165, 1176.
To evaluate the likelihood of confusion, including initial interest confusion, the Sleekcraft factors considered are:
(1) the similarity of the marks;
(2) the relatedness or proximity of the two companies' products or services;
(3) the strength of the registered mark;
(4) the marketing channels used;
(5) the degree of care likely to be exercised by the purchaser in selecting goods;
(6) the accused infringers' intent in selecting its mark;
(7) evidence of actual confusion; and
(8) the likelihood of expansion in product lines.
Courts consider these factors within the totality of the circumstances through the eyes of the “reasonably prudent consumer” in the marketplace, not a person with a legally trained mind. Dreamwerks Production Group, Inc. v. SKG Studio, 142 F.3d 1127, 1129 (1998).
In the context of website domain, courts have held that the three most important Sleekcraft factors in evaluating a likelihood of confusion are (1) the similarity of the marks, (2) the relatedness of the goods or services, and (3) the parties’ simultaneous use of the Web as a marketing channel. Interstellar at 942.
No one factor is to be considered conclusive and the relative importance of each individual factor will be case-specific. Compare Brookfield, 174 F.3d at 1061 (holding that use of the domain name “moviebuff.com” violated plaintiff’s trademark rights in the mark “MovieBuff,” as consumer confusion is likely to result from the relatedness of the products and the companies’ simultaneous use of the Web as a marketing and advertising tool) with Interstellar at 943 (finding that domain name “epix.com” for website showcasing creator’s electronic pictures did not infringe the trademark “EPIX,” used in connection with printed circuit boards and computer programs, because there was a lack of relation between the products and both parties marketed to a different consumer base through the web).
The Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FDTA) allows a trademark owner to obtain an injunction against another’s “commercial use in commerce” of a mark or trade name” 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(1). “Commercial use in commerce” has been generally interpreted to mean use of mark in relation to any goods or services. Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc., 296 F.3d 894, 903 (2002).

It is important to remember that a California business owner cannot represent themselves in a lawsuit as pro per, this is because in California, a California business that is facing a suit or wish to file a lawsuit against another must be represented by an attorney. Please review all the provisions in the contract to ensure you don't file a frivolous lawsuit against the other party. Often times contracts can be confusing and thus require the assistance of a business law or contract attorney. Breach of contract can occur in many different ways, such in business service contracts, employment contracts, or business partnership contracts. If you believe that another party did a breach in their terms or didn't fulfill the terms under a contract it is important to speak to a experienced business lawyer, to ensure you rights and remedies are protected.
Businesses can dissolve the entire or part of a company by engaging in the "winding up" or "dissolution" process. The winding up process is subject to a strict legal rights of its partners, as well as creditors and claimants. Terminating a California business, often times involves a "liquidation process", where the company begins to wind-up affairs, pay debts, and dissolve. Furthermore, there are special procedures for dissolving corporations that are undergoing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or have disposed of all assets, and not conducted any business for the last five years.
During the winding-up process is subject to strict legal rights of the shareholders, thus must be both "just and equitable" Thus, to ensure that all issues are considered and addressed appropriately, its is recommend to that you consult with California corporate attorney prior to submitting termination documents to the California Secretary of State. If you wish to dissolve or terminate your corporation, we invite you to contact our Glendale business corporate lawyers and discuss the proper legal steps you must take in order to property terminate your California corporation. Under California’s General Corporation law (“GCL”) shareholders holding shares with at least 50 percent of the voting power can voluntary elect to dissolve the corporation. It is important that you review your articles of incorporation and bylaws, and speak to a experienced Glendale business lawyer, to ensure that you are following the proper dissolution procedures specifically for your corporation. If a all members have approved that dissolution, your corporation continues to exist only for the purpose of taking care of final matters. As such, all board members have full power to wind up and settle the affairs of the corporation, including paying all known corporation debts and liabilities, and then distributing remaining assets, if any, to persons entitled to those assets.
There are many corporation entity types and each type have different forms that must be completed with the California Secretary of State. The following are corporation entity types a business owner can choose from:

Under California law, a corporation must have at least three directors, unless there are less than three shareholders. In that case, the number of directors may be equal to or greater than the number of shareholders. California does not set forth a minimum age or residency requirement for directors. Either the articles of incorporation or the corporation’s bylaws must state the number of directors that will constitute the corporation’s board of directors. Finally, prepare and file articles of incorporation with the Secretary of the State.
If you will be paying at least $100 to an employee or employees in a quarter (this includes corporate officers), you are subject to California employment taxes and must register for a California employer account number within 15 days of paying that $100.

Upon finalizing the sale of a California business, generally the seller will have his or her business attorney prepare a Purchase Agreement, which will sets forth the terms and conditions for the purchasing of the business in a binding contract.

Otherwise, you may end up with the shorten end of the stick, which is something you want to avoid, of course. KAASS Law would be happy to assist you with these matters. For the most part a purchase agreement includes details about what you are purchasing with the sale of the business, such as, inventory, customer list, equipment, and any other property.
Conducting your due diligence prior to purchasing an existing business is critical! Before you commit to anything make sure you do your research on the company from top to bottom, not leaving any loose ends. Often times, business owners quickly jump the gun and fail to investigate and ask questions and find themselves in agony a few months down the line. For instance, a business owner purchase an existing business and is in violation of zoning laws, has judgements against them, or has a pending lawsuit. Other times, a business owner may purchase a business and the office space that was leased with the purchase has reoccurring pipping issues which cause flooding. In cases like these, business owners will find them filing business insurance claims because their unit was damaged due to the flooding, which results in temporary stopping business operations. In such cases, if an owner had conducted their due diligence, they may have discovered that the reoccurring pipping issues.

A contract is a binding agreement between two or more parties. Section 1 of the Restatement defines a contract as ‘‘a promise or a set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty.’’
An "offer" is a manifestation of present contractual intent, communicated to an identified offeree, containing definite and certain terms. The offer element is further analyzed objectively, rather than subjectively. In order other words, for Plaintiff to prove breach of contract, s/he must also prove that the parties intended to enter into a contract.
Two laws govern contract law and depending on the type of transaction or agreement parties have entered into the Courts will determine under which law governs the contracts. The two laws which govern contracts law is common law contracts and the Uniform Commercial Code.
Most contracts are governed by state common law, such as employment contracts, service contracts, or the sale of real property.
The uniform commercial code "UCC" governs contracts which involve merchants engaging in the sales of goods. UCC applies to:
When a party has breached the terms of a contract or interfered with their contractual duties they can be held liable for tort or damages caused to the other party.
The statute of limitation to bring suit for breach of contract in California depends on the type of contract the parties entered to. Breach of written contract differs from oral contracts.

An LLC has even more limited liability than a corporation or limited liability partnership! The founders can execute an Operating Agreement that vacates most of their fiduciary responsibility. This is extremely important as it shields owners from being personally financially responsible for the liabilities of the LLC should things go wrong. This means that creditors cannot go after the personal assets of the owners to pay business debts.
Unlike a corporation which is subject to "double taxation" (i.e. a corporation pays taxes on its annual earnings while shareholders must also make tax payments on dividend payments), an LLC is eligible for flow-through (aka pass-through) taxation under IRS rules. A Flow-Through entity, such as an LLC, is not subject to taxation. Rather, taxes are only paid once the income passes to the owners. Ultimately, the beauty of an LLC is that it offers the limited liability of a corporation with the freedom and tax advantages of a partnership. Owners of an LLC are shielded from personal liability, avoid double-taxation, and have the flexibility to organize the LLC management structure in any way they see fit. Our Glendale business attorneys will help you make the right decision as each entity has its own significant consequences in matters pertaining to issues of liability, management, ownership, and control; business succession matters such as transfer, assignment, and dissolution; as well as business taxation.
