In many Idaho workers’ compensation cases the injured party doesn’t fully recover. They often have permanent injuries which corresponded to an impairment rating. These ratings are given by a physician. Insurance companies pay these benefits monthly until paid in full, but in some instances can be paid in a lump sum. These benefits are calculated by calculating 55% of the average state weekly wage for the year in which you are injured times the percent of your impairment times 500 weeks. Let’s say for example you are awarded a 10% whole person impairment rating for a 2014 injury. For this impairment rating you should receive 55% of the average weekly wage for 2014 or $376.20 per week for 50 weeks.(10% times 500 weeks) This would calculate to a total of $18,810.00.
John Goodell recovered 11/30/15 $28,106.58 by settlement without suit of account collection for “Client” in WY paid today.
I think this guy has too many oars in the water: Published for registration under the Madrid Protocol to owner Francesco Cirillo of Berlin, Germany:
First, there’s nothing that draws customers like the sound of a screaming toddler or a college student who has stepped out of his safe place. But what the heck is he trying to sell with this mark? According to his application he is using the mark for:
“Recorded content… featuring music and animation; … audiovisual receivers; magnets, magnetizers and demagnetizers for magnetic tapes; … electrical integrated control systems for use in the field of waste water treatment, information management and communications; apparatus, instruments in the nature of electricity conduits and cables for electricity; optical devices, enhancers and correctors, namely, optical lenses; safety, security, protection and signally devices, namely, cables for optical signal transmission; diving equipment, namely, helmets; navigation, guidance, tracking, targeting and map making devices, namely, global positioning systems; measuring, detecting and monitoring instruments, indicators and controllers, namely, computer hardware; scientific research and laboratory apparatus, educational apparatus and simulators, namely, electronic clinicians training simulators; and parts and fittings for all the aforementioned goods…”
The Idaho State Journal ran this AP article on Wednesday, December 2, about trademark infringement litigation between the San Diego Comic-Con and the Salt Lake Comic Con. The Associated Press (probably actually a reporter for one of the Salt Lake papers) notes that the parties appear close to a settlement of the lawsuit, but it is a little confused about the legalities.
4The San Diego Comic-Con has run conventions in California for years, while Dan Farr Productions of Draper, Utah has run the Salt Lake Comic Con since 2013. More than 120,000 people attended the SLCC this year, in spite of a trademark infringement suit filed last year by the San Diego group in 2014.
The San Diego group (SDCC) has a number of registered trademarks, including the design mark

You are not responsible for any medical bills that are covered by workers’ compensation insurance company on an accepted claim; this includes 100% of medical bills – no co-payment and no deductibles. Approved Medical treatment should be billed to the workers’ compensation insurance company or the employer if self-insured. The only time that you will be responsible for the payment of medical bills is if the medical treatment is if it was not approved or if your claim has been denied. If your claim was denied and you don’t understand why, contact me or another experienced Idaho workers’ compensation lawyer and we will talk about your case.
File under “should have been rejected as merely descriptive.” Approved and published last week for registration in International Class 37 for bee control and removal services:
Yes, Crazy Bee Man LLC of Hialeah, Florida, yes you are, because by definition anyone in the bee removal business must be. You are no doubt the man for the job.
TRADEMARK OF THE DAY
There’s a lot to be learned about the legal and the business ends of the trademark and marketing business by studying what gets approved and used as marks. There is also a lot to be learned about life in this world. Since I flip through the Trademark Official Gazette every week anyway — that’s where all the newly-approved trademarks get published — I thought I’d use this space to share a few gems that I come across.
I don’t think they quite get the point of this business: Both of these marks appeared in last week’s Gazette, approved for registration in International Class 25 for wide ranges of women’s clothing:

If you are involved in a work related accident, the first thing that you should do is report the injury or disease immediately to your employer. Do not wait! You might not get better and late reported claims are often denied! Memories fade quickly. Protect yourself and report your claim promptly. Time is of the essence in workers compensation cases. Failure to report your injury to your employ within 60 days could disqualify you for benefits. You only have 60 days.
Be specific with your employer, report how the injury happened, where it happened, and when it happened. Your employer should fill out a “First Report of Injury or Illness” form, and then file it with the Idaho Industrial Commission. If for some reasons your employer refuses to file this, go ahead and file the form yourself. To obtain on of these forms go to the Idaho Industrial Commission website and print one off there or call the Industrial Commission to get one. There is a link to this form under their “Reporting Injuries” section. If it seems too hard or confusing: contact an experienced Idaho worker’s compensation attorney. I will help you fill out the accident report and get it filled out and filed.
