Michigan Auxiliary
Director Angelle
Allen and Volunteer
Manager Christine
Robertson visited
Wyatt Jaakkola and
his mother Melissa
on Friday Marc 1,
2013 at C.S. Mott’s
Children’s Hospital.
Wyatt who just
turned 3 is The son
of a Jackson
County
Michigan
deputy and
has leuke-
mia. The
Michigan
auxiliary
started col-
lecting
patches
from all over
the United
States
to make a quilt
for him. The
quilt was made
by the aunt of
one of the Michi-
gan Auxiliary’s
volunteers. We
learned about
Wyatt in No-
vember and
have since then
delivered hand-
made bears to
him and his brother
along with the quilt.

Greeting to you all and welcome back.
In this month’s edition I am going to shared
about Intellectual Property (IP), copyright,
and trademark laws. I know this can be
confusing so I hope this will help clear
some air on the subject.
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations
of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic
works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in com-
merce. IP is divided into two categories: Industrial property,
which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial
designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright,
which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems
and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings,
paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs.
Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in
their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings,
and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs.
Copyright law is a branch of that part of the law which deals with
the rights of intellectual creators. Copyright law deals with
particular forms of creativity, concerned primarily with mass
communication. It is concerned also with virtually all forms and
methods of public communication, not only printed publications
but also such matters as sound and television broadcasting, films
for public exhibition. The subject-matter of copyright protection
includes every production in the literary, scientific and artistic
domain, whatever the mode or form of expression. For a work to
enjoy copyright protection, however, it must be an original
creation. The ideas in the work do not need to be new but the
form, be it literary or artistic, in which they are expressed must be
an original creation of the author. And, finally, protection is
independent of the quality or the value attaching to the work—it
will be protected whether it be considered, according to taste, a
good or a bad literary or musical work—and even of the purpose
for which it is intended, because the use to which a work may be
put has nothing to do with its protection.
The owner of copyright in a protected work may use the work as
he wishes—but not without regard to the legally recognized rights
and interests of others—and may exclude others from using it
without his authorization. Therefore, the rights bestowed by law
on the owner of copyright in a protected work are frequently
described as “exclusive rights” to authorize others to use the
protected work. The original authors of works protected by
copyright also have “moral rights”, in addition to their exclusive
rights of an economic character. What is meant by “using” a work
protected by copyright? Most copyright laws define the acts in
relation to a work which cannot be performed by persons other
than the copyright owner without the authorization of the copyright
owner. Such acts, requiring the authorization of the copyright owner,
normally are the following: copying or reproducing the work;
performing the work in public; making a sound recording of the work;
making a motion picture of the work; broadcasting the work;
translating the work; adapting the work. Remedies for infringement
of copyright or for violation of related rights consist of civil redress, as
where infringers are obliged by court to cease the infringement and to
undertake reparatory action by any appropriate means, for example,
rectification in the press or liability for damages. Some laws also
provide for penal remedies in the form of fines and/or imprisonment.
Trademarks already existed in the ancient world. Even at times when
people either prepared what they needed themselves or, more usually,
acquired it from local craftsmen, there were already creative
entrepreneurs who marketed their goods beyond their localities and
sometimes over considerable distances. As long as 3,000 years ago,
Indian craftsmen used to engrave their signatures on their artistic
creations before sending them to Iran. Manufacturers from China sold
goods bearing their marks in the Mediterranean area over 2,000 years
ago and at one time about a thousand different Roman pottery marks
were in use, including the FORTIS brand, which became so famous
that it was copied and counterfeited. With the flourishing trade of the
Middle Ages, the use of signs to distinguish the goods of merchants
and manufacturers likewise expanded several hundred years ago.
Their economic importance was still limited, however. Trademarks
started to play an important role with industrialization, and they have
since become a key factor in the modern world of international trade
and market-oriented economies. Industrialization and the growth of
the system of the market-oriented economy allow competing
manufacturers and traders to offer consumers a variety of goods in the
same category. Often without any apparent differences for the
consumer, they do generally differ in quality, price and other
characteristics. Clearly consumers need to be given the guidance that
will allow them to consider the alternatives and make their choice
between the competing goods. Consequently, the goods must be
named. The medium for naming goods on the market is precisely the
trademark. Virtually any sign can constitute a trademark. Here are
some examples of what constitutes a trademark.
Words: This category includes company names, surnames, forenames, geographical names and any other words or sets of words, whether invented or not, and slogans.
- Letters and Numerals: Examples are one or more letters, one or more numerals or any combination thereof.
Devices: This category includes fancy devices, drawings and symbols and also two dimensional representations of goods or containers.
Combinations of any of those listed above, including logotypes and labels.
Colored Marks: This category includes words, devices and any combinations thereof in color, as well as color combinations and
President’s Corner—Tabitha Youngstrom, President
Page 2 Wives Behind the Badge Shield Magazine
color as such.
Three-Dimensional Signs: A typical category of three-dimensional signs is the shape of the goods or their packaging. However, other three-dimensional signs such as the three-pointed Mercedes star can serve as a trademark.
Audible Signs (Sound Marks): Two typical categories of sound marks can be distinguished, namely those that can be transcribed in musical notes or other symbols and others (e.g. the cry of an animal).
Olfactory Marks (Smell Marks): Imagine that a company sells its goods (e.g. writing paper) with a certain fragrance and the consumer becomes accustomed to recognizing the goods by their smell.
Other (Invisible) Signs: Examples of these are signs recognized by touch.
This positive right of use belonging to the trademark owner is
recognized in most trademark laws. This means first the right of the
owner of the mark to affix it on goods, containers, packaging, labels,
etc. or to use it in any other way in relation to the goods for which it is
registered. It means also the right to introduce the goods to the market
under the trademark. Finally, a third right out of the series of rights
incorporated in the right to use a trademark is the trademark owner’s
right to use his mark in advertising, on business papers, documents, etc.
The Right to Exclude Others from Using the Mark - It follows from the
mark’s basic function of distinguishing the goods of its owner from
those of others that he must be able to object to the use of confusingly
similar marks in order to prevent consumers and the public in general
from being misled. This is the essence of the exclusive right afforded to
the trademark owner by registration. He must be able to object to any
use of his trademark by a third party for goods for which it is protected,
to the affixing of the mark on such goods, to its use in relation to the
goods and to the offering of the goods for sale under the mark, or the
use of the mark in advertising, business papers or any other kind of
document. Furthermore, since consumers are to be protected against
confusion, protection generally extends to the use of similar trademarks
for similar goods, if such use is likely to confuse the consumer.
Remedies for Trademark Infringement , a successful infringement action
leads to prohibition of the use of the confusingly similar mark. If the
infringing mark is registered, cancellation of the registration is ordered.
The trademark owner can also, in principle, ask for compensation for
damages.
Many countless volunteer hours go into our programs from conception
to execution. Great pride, emotion, and heart are poured into every-
thing from our logos to our newsletters. Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. ®

.
I want to end this month’s corner with some fun and
useful tips.
To get rid of caked-on hairspray on bathroom mirrors
use 2 parts water and 1 part liquid fabric softener.
Wipe on with a damp cloth and wipe off with a clean
one.
You should wash make-up brushes and sponges
regularly to keep them free of dirt, oil, and bacteria.
Lather them up with baby shampoo and rinse in cool
water then let them air dry.
Quick mirror makeover for when guests are coming.
Clean the mirror with aerosol air freshener, it will
bring back your mirror to a glossy shine and leave the
room smelling fantastic.
Mineral Deposit build up in your faucets, cut a lemon
into quarters and push a piece into the faucet and let
stand 10 minutes then twist the wedge out. Repeat
with the remaining wedges until the deposits are
gone.
Add a cotton ball soaked in vanilla or lavender oil to
your vacuum cleaner bag to freshen the air while you
vacuum.
A great all natural wood floor cleaner is tea. Just
brew a strong pot let cool and mop, the tea’s tannic
acid will keep your wood strong.
Okay here is one if you have kids and had to clean up
vomit. Baking soda, sprinkle on the top as soon as
possible. It will soak up some of the mess and make
the smell easier to deal with.
Bubble gum remover, the best way to remove gum
from clothes, hair, carpet, pets is with Bengay. Put it
on the gum, then apply heat with your hair dryer set
on low. Press a plastic sandwich bag on the gum and
it should pull away easily. Be sure to wash the area
after you’ve removed the gum.
Red wine in the carpet, use shaving cream (check the
carpet is colorfast first), let it set for a minute then
wipe it away. This will also work on grease stains.
Clean and deodorize your disposal with ice cubes and
orange or lemon peel. Run the disposal until you no
longer hear the ice grinding. The ice will congeal any
grease allowing the disposal to break it up and the
peels will help clean the rest and leave it with a
wonderful smell.
A great all natural cleaner for the refrigerator is 1
cup salt to 1 gallon of hot water, squeeze a lemon in
for a nice scent and wipe away dirt and grime
without leaving chemicals behind.
Refrigerator freshener, hollow out a grapefruit or
orange and fill it with salt then place it in the back of
your refrigerator. Leave it there until the salt gets
completely damp and then throw it away and
replace it.
To quickly kill bacteria on a kitchen sponge, wring it
out then microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. Do
NOT nuke a dry sponge it will ignite. You can also
put them on the top rack in the dishwasher and run
them through with the dishes.
And last but not least after a long winter of burning
fires use a can of cola with 31/2 fl. Oz. of all purpose
cleaner and 31/2 quarts hot water in a bucket.
Sponge on sooty bricks and leave 15 minutes. Clean
with a stiff-bristled brush and wipe with clean water.

Two of our Wives Behind the Badge recently
competed in the Mrs. International Pageant
system, each focusing on law enforcement sup-
port as their platform.
Beginning 24 years ago, Mrs. International was
developed to promote today's married women,
their accomplishments, and commitment to
family and marriage. Each contestant competes
in Interview Competition, which is valued
for 50% of her overall score, Evening Gown for
25%, and Fitness Wear for 25%. Each contest-
ant has the opportunity to select a platform of
her choice that she spends the year promoting.
Husbands are a direct part of the show, escort-
ing their wives in the Evening Gown competi-
tion, and the husband crowns his wife titlehold-
er.
Parker Sanchez, our New Jersey Auxiliary Di-
rector and National Special Events Coordinator,
is a 33 year old professional ballroom dancer,
dance instructor, wife and mother-to-be! She is
soon to be celebrating her 9th wedding anniver-
sary with husband Pablo, a sergeant for the
Warren County Sheriff's Department - Division
of Corrections. They are happily expecting their
first child, a daughter, this May. "I've always
loved competing in Mrs. pageants," says Parker.
"In the Mrs. systems, a pageant title is used as a
megaphone to bring attention and awareness for a
cause you feel passionate about. I was excited to
have the opportunity to speak about Wives Behind
the Badge, Inc. and law enforcement issues to a
broad audience. I certainly never thought I'd be
doing a pageant at 7 1/2 months pregnant, but it
was an absolute blast and I made lots of memories
to share with my daughter one day!" Parker com-
peted for the title of Mrs. New Jersey Internation-
al 2013 this March 9th, and was honored to be
named the first runner-up and Mrs. Photogenic!
Teena Handline, our Pennsylvania Auxiliary Assistant
Director, is a 23 year old second year law student at
Temple University studying Corporate Law. She has
been married for almost two years to her husband Joe,
a Philadelphia Police Officer. They are the proud pet
parents of a fabulous little pug puppy named
Oreo. "Pageants have crafted my ability to think on my
feet in interviews," says Teena. "The most difficult in-
terviews I have ever had were in pageants. Job inter-
views are a piece of cake! I also love having the oppor-
tunity to bring attention to issues that I am passionate
about. That sparkly crown and sash really opens doors
and makes people listen!" Teena competed for the title
of Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2013 this March
23rd, and was thrilled to be the People's Choice Award
winner!

The Lahoma, Oklahoma Police Chief is
taking steps to create a positive atmos-
phere in the community by rewarding
both children and adults who are setting
an example by following traffic laws and
showing community service and leader-
ship.
Area businesses, including McDonald’s,
Freddy’s Frozen Custer and Steak Burg-
ers, and Sonic have joined this effort by
providing coupons for free drinks, sun-
daes, sandwiches and ice cream for those
who are “caught being good”.
While on duty, if an officer spots a commu-
nity member, or someone just passing
through setting a positive example for oth-
ers, they reward those individuals a cou-
pon from one of the participating vendors,
as well as stickers for the kids.

support to law enforcement families, and serving as a positive
voice for law enforcement in the community.
.
It was a Saturday night and my husband was working his usual night shift. I sat in front of the computer out of boredom once again and was feeling a bit sorry for myself. All of my friends were with their husbands, enjoying a movie, game
night or an evening out. How come I was the wife spending her evening alone while her husband worked?
I began my search to seek out support available for police wives. I came across Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. and I imme-diately knew I found what I had been searching for when I read the words:
ONE FAMILY. ONE VISION. ONE BADGE.
I registered the next day as a member of Wives Behind the Badge's online support forums. I learned quickly from the oth-er members that I was never alone. It has truly been a blessing to be a part of this unique, caring and supportive group of
women.
There are more than 200 active forum members from all over the United States and the world, all of who I call my sisters. It is a place where I feel safe to express my life's up's and down's. My sisters cheer me on and offer advice
that only one who understands and shares this life as a law enforcement officer wife can do.
Please join us, you will be glad that you did! Register for our free and secure online support forum at: http://www.wivesbehindthebadge.org/forums.
Wives Behind the Badge is a big part of my life, not just through the forums, but as the director of the Oregon Auxiliary. Volunteering for this organization has allowed me to give back to the law enforcement community and make a real
difference.
