Off hand, I can think of two butterfly farms with the same or very similar names! When you apply for a trademark--the search that is done is widespread--at minimum across the U.S.-- that is why it takes so long. You can trademark your name, a symbol or both - we trademarked our name and our symbol. It is not illegal to use the same name as someone else--only if it is trademarked. There are some data bank services you can use to begin a nationwide search on your own--for us in MA it was the University of Massachusetts. However, we ended up not trying to use this as it was already being done when we applied for the trademark.

#10. Trademark search - from J&G Wood

Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 05:36:00 -1000 From: J&G Wood <jgwood@tiki.net> Subject: Trademark search Mary, Check out this website: http://www.uspto.gov/ It is the government patent/trademark office. You can do a FREE trademark search instantly right from this site. (Don't be tricked into paying for a search by some other online trademark search sites.)After I completed my search, I looked through the county phone books at the library to see if anyone was using my chosen name. Yes, our county is very small. This may be too time consuming in a large county. Anyway, after that I contacted my bank to open a business acount. They were very helpful in helping me locate the necessary forms to register my business with the Chamber of Commerce. Good Luck, Julie Merry Monarch Butterfly Ranch http://www.mauigateway.com/~jgwood/index.htm

#11. Video Production of PA Conference - from Dale McClung
Top
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 13:38:43 -0400 From: Dale McClung <adverweb@adver-net.com> Subject: Video Production of PA Conference To Terry, Jack, and all who are attending the PA conference. I can not unfortunately be there, though I would like to. However, in my past life I did some work in television production, so I thought I would impart some thoughts as to producing this "program" because I definetly want to purchase a copy of the tape when it becomes available and, as I am sure everyone would like, would like to see it be done as professionally as possible with inexperienced staff. 1) Camera set up: If possible, use at least two cameras. Camera One should be positioned on a tripod if available to capture the center stage and would be responsible for full length shots to medium close-ups (if the speaker is only positioned behind a podium, for example). Camera Two would be responsible for close-ups of demonstrations, faces, books or other objects being held up for view, etc., and be a roving camera. With cooperation, some close-ups can be staged and shot seperately for better composition and control after the fact. I know you are probably not planning more than "dead air" edits, but if you don't shoot a second unit, you will be left with few editing possibilities later. If there is no second unit to provide close-up material for intercutting, you are left with the main camera zooming in and out for detail shots. While this method works, if you desire to edit further, the sound track will need a lot of adjustment to match smoothly. Speaking of zooms, the usual rule is "don't." The zoom lens is best used for framing shots. Use on air-zooms sparingly or as necessary to move from one shot to another, but once you've found the composition, stop the zoom and pan with the subject as he or she moves. Also, watch your "headroom" on people shots. Take a critical look at your local evening news program for composition guidelines. Tilt the camera slightly downward as you zoom to maintain proper perspective (this takes a little practice). Watch the focus. If you zoom all the way in and focus and then zoom all the way back out to your frame, you should stay in focus for the complete zoom. The best focal point for focus is the face of your subject. We used to focus on other parts of the anatomy, but were often rebuffed because our focal point was about four inches too far forward from the subject's face for extreme close ups. ;-) Copy the materials: If you have a music stand or an easel (which the hotel should have), use this as copy stand for flat materials like photographs, magazine covers, etc., and record these images seperately for editing later. If you use an easel for writing down information during a segment, Camera Two should stay close on the easel (the width of the easel or closer if necessary) while Camera One stays further away (the person and the easel both in the shot). I know you are not planning a "Cecil B. DeMille," but the more you record, the more you will have to work with later. Also, DO NOT record on extended play mode. You may have to change tapes more often, but extend play mode allows the extention of time by running the tape more slowly and therefore picking up less digital information which is fine if you are recording today's soap opera for viewing once and then recording over it tomorrow, but if you want to make a lot of copies from the tape, they will be degraded. If you look closely at tapes made on "extended play mode," you will see that the colors are flat and the depth is less pronounced. When you record a copy from a tape recorded this way, you will really begin to see the difference. Especially, a copy of a copy. It goes downhill generationally fairly fast. So, who's bringing their cameras? If you can send me copies of all the rough footage, I can take a stab at an edit if you like.

For a modest fee they then tell you if anyone else in the state is using that name. If so, you can either try to get permission from the person already using that name to use it also, or you can reapply with another name and wait for approval. You can then either set up a separate account or add the fictitious name to an existing account as "Doing Business as". Not a bad idea, also, to check with you local supervisors and zoning officials bfore opening for business. One question just out of curiosity, in how many states are the sale of butterflies subject to state sales tax?

Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 22:48:26 -0400 From: "The Monarchy" <monarchy@themonarchy.com> Subject: Re: PA update. We agree with you, Velma. Glassburg referred to some 'unknown' virus so it sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. He looked very emotional when he talked about terrorism. (He likes that word!) The showing of the wedding release several times with the happy faces and beautiful butterflies was definitely a positive. I like to think that our farming methods shown were positive-- the fact that we test for disease, the displaying of the USDA regulations (a really big plus), all pointed to credibility on our part and on the part of the industry in general. The biggest negative was the news from the State of Washington and the large zoom-in of the words taken from the report with the words about the potential harm and destruction. The only other negative was the way they introduced the topic--clearly stating the possible negative impact. When we were interviewed, we clearly asked what the theme or the topic of the program would be and several times were told that they would not know until it all comes together. When I spoke to the interviewer just two days ago, I asked her for the title of the piece, she said there is no title. She said it would be about butterfly farming in general. She was a bit misleading--as it was clearly about the controversy and only about the controversy! I think the lead-in to the story was a bit negative. But what can one expect in a controversy. Hopefully the pictures spoke a thousand words and certainly Glassburg was very, very weak. Steve Connolly was very rational and was very clear about the simple truth to it all. Thank you, Steve! Did it seem to you that the message was, instead of endangerment to other butterflies, watch out for potential damage to milkweed plants? That seemed to be the concern, rather than a concern for wild butterflies!!!?? And of course, the concern for the 'unknown virus' was there. What did everyone else think?

We have to pay a very minimal sales tax here in Hawaii. We get a good break because butterflies are considered an agricultural product.
