Here's some more DD ~~~ I smell news coming ~~~ GO CINT!!!
CINT's "Statement of Use" for the "INTELLIFARES™" Service Mark (i.e., Trademark - ™) was accepted for REGISTRATION (®) and USE IN COMMERCE by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office just SIX DAYS (20August2008) before their last PR about "...making INTELLIFARES available to the general public..." (26August2008).
The USPTO Registration Serial Number for "INTELLIFARES®" is 77000857.
Coincidence with respect to the timing of the PR with the Registration of "INTELLIFARES®"??? Perhaps, but read on & check it out for yourselves if you're interested...
The USPTO.gov server "times out" users, so I can't post a link, but here's how to get to the relevant documents for the "INTELLIFARES®" "Use in Commerce" filing, review & approval process documents:
1). Click this link:
http://uspto.gov/2). Click on "Trademarks" in the left hand column
3). Click on "#5 - Check Status (TARR)"
4). Enter the Registration Number (77000857) in the search field & click on "Request Status", which brings up a summary of the information
5). To view individual documents pertaining to the actual "processing" of CINT's Statement of Use for their Trademark/Service Mark Registration:
a). Click on the "Trademark Document Retrieval" link on the third line of this summary information
b). Click on each document you want to view by starting from the date that CINT filed for Trademark protection of "INTELLIFARES™" (15September2006) to the last four documents mailed to CINT on 20August2008, paying particular attention to the "Notice of Acceptance of Statement of Use" & other documents dated 20August2008
c). You can also click on an icon to view each document as a PDF file, but I couldn't figure out how to save them in an "uploadable" format.
~~~ A bit more DD pertaining to CINT's Patent follows below. ~~~
CINT PATENT INFO:
Here's a way to view CINT's Patent, which was published on 28February2008 via PCT ("Patent Cooperation Treaty") with the World Intellectual Property Organization ("WIPO"):
1). Click this link:
http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/index.jsp2). Type "WO2008024118" (WITHOUT the quotation marks into the second search field ("Publication Number") & press the "Search" button.
3). Click on the link for the result of the search.
This will pull up the relevant Peter Gallic/Peter Dugan/CINT International Utility Patent Publication entitled "SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT FOR PERIODIC TRAVEL SERVICES".
(NOTE: The WIPO server also "times you out" after a period of inactivity -- maybe some "techy-type" can figure out how to upload the PDF file to a file-sharing site if you want to post this in the IBOX so that anyone can read CINT's Patent for themselves.)
As an "FYI", filing for Patent Protection via PCT with WIPO is the biggest "bang for the buck" way of filing a PRIORITY CLAIM for International Patent Protection. In CINT's case they filed their "Priority Claim" in the United States on 25August2006 (the "Priority Date").
Another "FYI" regarding PCTs, the PRIORITY DATE sets the timeframe to file for Individual National Patents in each of the countries in which the "Inventor" wants Patent Protection.
In other words, the "Inventors" (Peter Gallic & Peter Dugan on behalf of CINT) then generally have 30 months from the "Priority Date" (i.e., the initial "Filing Date" to enter the "National Phase" of the Patent Application in ANY or ALL of the Countries in which they want to apply for National Patent Protection (i.e., the "Designated States").
PCT filing is an inexpensive way to file for Intellectual Property protection without having to file Individual Patents in EACH country; it "extends" the timeframe for modifying and carrying out the business plan and gives the "Inventor" the most flexibility at a reasonable cost...less $$$ upfront.
Judging from the number of Countries they list in the PCT as "Designated States" (over 100 Countries!!!) it appears that Mssrs. Gallic & Dugan have allowed themselves quite a bit of leeway to expand their Intellectual Property protection!!!
GLTYA!!! & Happy Trading!!!
BTW, I've flipped CINT a couple of times & am currently holding a core position to which I intend to add on any dips, as I did on Friday afternoon's EOD whacking. :)
