AVOIDING THE PYRRHIC VICTORY – IMMEDIATE ACTION STRATEGIES IN CIVIL LITIGATION

USING U.S. CUSTOMS TO PROTECT YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

MARTIN ELIOPULOS: PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY

Dear Clients and Friends,

Welcome to our latest edition of the Higgs, Fletcher & Mack Newsletter. Hopefully, you have noticed our new style and logo. After nearly 15 years, we decided it was time for a little image updating to reflect our continuing commitment to maintain the foundation of history and integrity set by our founders. When you have a moment, explore our website, see the changes made, and learn of recent developments here at Higgs, Fletcher & Mack.

In this Newsletter you will read an article by Doug Lytle, litigation attorney, titled "Avoiding the Pyrrhic Victory—Immediate Action Strategies in Civil Litigation." This article delves into the provisional remedies available when litigation involving business disputes, intellectual property, and real property arises.

Read on to "Using U.S. Customs to Protect Your Intellectual Property Rights," an article by Michael Hoisington, one of our Intellectual Property attorneys. In this article, Michael explains how you can keep illegal products bearing your trademark or trade name or making use of your copyrighted material out of the United States.

Also in this edition you will get a brief look into the professional and personal life of our partner, Martin Eliopulos. Marty has been with Higgs, Fletcher & Mack since 1990. He chairs the Firm's Bankruptcy and Reorganization Practice Group and is also a member of both the Business Litigation and the Financial Services Practice Groups. Marty has distinguished himself in the areas of business reorganization, liquidation, and creditor's remedies and continues to be an invaluable asset to the Firm.

We hope that you find these articles to be of interest. We continue to appreciate your business and friendship. If you should have any questions or suggestions on how Higgs, Fletcher & Mack can meet your needs, please contact me through the Firm's website, www.higgslaw.com, or by phone at (619) 236-1551.

Very Truly Yours,
John L. Morrell
