Best in Law Blogs : LexBlog Network : April 8, 2010

Anyway, onto the posts, and one of my favorites: DuetsBlog has always done a fantastic job of analyzing the protection surrounding a company’s brand. Today is no different. Did you know Maker’s Mark enjoys exclusive rights to the dripping wax seal on their bottle? Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 115.
