eBAY and RE/MAX Settle Suit

earlier this month. In that lawsuit, RE/MAX International alleged that eBay"s use of a red, white and blue real estate sign in a television commercial infringed RE/MAX trademarks. eBay agreed to cease utilizing the television commercial effective January 17 and agreed to modify the real estate sign in the future so it will not look like or be confused with a RE/MAX sign. eBay also has agreed not to use the RE/MAX trademarks or any similar marks or designations in connection with their future advertising. "It is important that everyone understands that once eBay and their counsel were made aware of the established and federally protected trademark rights of RE/MAX, they were most cooperative in attempting to correct the situation," said Daryl Jesperson, RE/MAX president. "It is unfortunate that these types of issues arise, but it further reinforces our belief that we must continue to be diligent in protecting the valuable RE/MAX trademarks."

Is Procrastination Killing Your Chances For Success?
In the words of Nike: JUST DO IT! Sounds so simple and yet, I bet you have found yourself putting off doing the very thing you think you should be doing to be more successful. We all do it sometimes. One of the most common reasons people hire me as a coach is because they know they’ll take more action when they are accountable to someone else. They usually think their procrastination is a matter of lack of self-discipline. If you procrastinate about everything, self discipline might be the problem, but, more likely, you are selective in the things that you put off.
