Japanese Trademark Jurisprudence

Japanese Trademark Jurisprudence

Kenneth L. Port

Kluwer Law International
1998
sidottu
In this comprehensive study of the Japanese trademark law system, the author presents the view of trademark rights in Japan as articulated in the relevant statutes and by Japanese courts and commentators. Relying on nearly 200 judicial opinions, nearly 200 books and law review articles, and the author's own translation of the Japanese Trademark Law (as amended to take effect April 1, 1997), the author argues that trademark law as enforced by Japanese courts is a very sophisticated and well-developed field of law - far more advanced than generally given credit outside of Japan. This book has three primary theses, all of them controversial. First, Professor Port argues that Japanese courts are rather paternalistic in protecting trademark owners, both from Japan and from foreign countries. Japanese courts have not hesitated to create judicial doctrine or rules that dampen the potential harsh impact a literal reading of the statute might allow regarding foreign trademark rights. Second, this book argues that Japanese trademark owners are extremely rights-conscious and Japanese courts clearly recognize and protect these rights as corporations compete.Although some argue that all of law in Japan can be explained by culture, the findings here demonstrate that culture is not king in the judicial trademark law field and that the Japanese zealously litigate trademark rights in order to compete for market share. Finally, this book shows the very broad scope of trademark protection in Japan. Again, although criticized for being too narrow, the Japanese trademark system confers property status to trademarks themselves, something the American system does not do.

Ministry with the Forgotten

Ministry with the Forgotten

Kenneth L Carder

Abingdon Press
2019
nidottu
Dementia diseases represent a crisis of faith for many family members and congregations. Magnifying this crisis is the way people with dementia tend to be objectified by both medical and religious communities. They are recipients of treatment and projects for mission. Ministry is done to and for them rather than with them. While acknowledging the devastation of dementia diseases, Ken Carder draws on his own experience as a caregiver, hospice chaplain, and pastoral practitioner to portray the gifts as well as the challenges accompanying dementia diseases. He confronts the deep personal and theological questions created by loving people with dementia diseases, demonstrating how living with dementia can be a means of growing in faith, wholeness, and ministry for the entire community of faith. He also reveals that authentic faith transcends intellectual beliefs, verbal affirmations, and prescribed practices. Carder asserts that the Judeo-Christian tradition offers a broader lens, defining personhood in relationship to God's story and humanity's participation in God's mighty acts of creation and new creation; thereby contributing to hope, community, and self-worth. Pastors and congregations will be better equipped to minister with people affected by dementia, receiving their gifts and responding to their unique needs. They will learn how people with dementia contribute to the community and the church's life and mission, discovering practical ways those contributions can be identified, nurtured, and incorporated into the church's life and ministry. From the Foreword: "Bishop Carder has written a generously wise book that is a gift to the church and a healing resource for people living with dementia and all who walk with them and alongside them. Those who are seeking a book on pastoral care and dementia will find here a wealth of theological insight, practical recommendations, and reflections that are grounded in deeply lived experience. But this is not simply a book about living with dementia or caregiving for those who live with dementia, nor simply a book about pastoral care. It is rather a testimony from the wilderness, a memoir of 'trust-end-faith.' It is a book about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ in our modern, technological world. It is a book about what it means to be known and loved by God, full stop. It is a book about what it means for love to endure, when all else fails." -Warren Kinghorn, MD, ThD; Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center; Esther Colliflower Associate Professor of the Practice of Pastoral and Moral Theology, Duke Divinity School, Durham, NC

Rowman Littlefield

In addition to practical visitor information, Feder tells the fascinating stories of each site as revealed by archaeological research. Introductory chapters delve into the deep past of Native America; historical and cultural details as well as original photography round out the site entries. Readers will be inspired to visit these remarkable places where the past continues to resonate in the present.

The Miseducation of the Student-Athlete, with a New Preface by the Authors

The Miseducation of the Student-Athlete, with a New Preface by the Authors

Kenneth L. Shropshire; Jr. Williams

Wharton Digital Press
2026
pokkari
The student-athlete's life: practice, gym, weight room, film review, repeat. Simply put, sports come first. Academics is a distant second. In this timely new edition of the award-winning The Miseducation of the Student-Athlete, authors Kenneth L. Shropshire and Collin D. Williams, Jr. provide essential context for understanding college sports in an era transformed by Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights. While student-athletes can now profit from their personal brands--with some earning more than $4 million annually--the fundamental challenge remains: balancing athletics with meaningful education. The book's original groundbreaking analysis of how to fix college sports is now preceded by a new preface that examines the post-2021 revolution in collegiate athletics. The authors explore how NIL rights have affected the student-athlete experience while reinforcing their central argument that education must remain paramount. Their Student-Athlete Manifesto and Meaningful Degree Model remain more relevant than ever as institutions navigate these unprecedented changes. Drawing on their extensive experience in sports leadership and education, Shropshire and Williams offer crucial insights for athletic departments, policy makers, and athletes themselves as they work to ensure that the "student" in student-athlete isn't lost amid new financial opportunities. This updated edition serves both as an introduction for new readers and a vital update for those familiar with the original work.

Cosmology and Eschatology in Hebrews

Cosmology and Eschatology in Hebrews

Schenck Kenneth L.

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
Scholars argue over where Hebrews fit in the first century world. Kenneth L. Schenck works towards resolving this question by approaching Hebrews' cosmology and eschatology from a text-orientated perspective. After observing that the key passages in the background debate mostly relate to the 'settings' of the story of salvation history evoked by Hebrews, Schenck attempts to delineate those settings by asking how the 'rhetorical world' of Hebrews engages that underlying narrative. Hebrews largely argue from an eschatology of two ages, which correspond to two covenants. The fresh age has come despite the continuance of some old age elements. The most characteristic elements of Hebrews' settings, however, are its spatial settings, where we find an underlying metaphysical dualism between the highest heaven, which is the domain of spirit, and the created realm, including the created heavens. This creation will be removed at the eschaton, leaving only the unshakeable heaven.

Comrades and Chicken Ranchers

Comrades and Chicken Ranchers

Kann Kenneth L.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
1993
sidottu
Given its tumultuous history, one would hardly have expected Petaluma, California, to become transformed into the San Francisco bedroom suburb that it is today. It had been a small-town agricultural community, where Jewish chicken ranchers and radicals enjoyed a vigorous Yiddish cultural life, maintained intense political commitments, and took part in sharp conflicts among themselves and with the society beyond.In this unique work of oral history, Kenneth Kann has ingeniously arranged and edited interviews with more than two hundred people, some of them telling their life stories in their own Yiddishized English. We meet an array of striking characters and families of three generations—East European immigrant settlers, their children, and their grandchildren.The narrative begins with the immigrant generation's flight from the Old World and traces the immigrants' long, uneasy adjustment to life in America. It describes the dilemma of the members of the second generation, who find themselves torn between the ways of their parents and the gentile world around them. The book concludes with accounts of the third generation, who feel distant from their grandparents but who struggle to recover lost ethnic roots and are uncertain how to raise their children.In this compelling chorus of voices, we find a Jewish Communist who describes being tarred and feathered in the 1930s and his grandson, recalling his own encounters, during the anti-war movement of the 1960s, with the grandchildren of the vigilantes who carried out the earlier assault. An immigrant proudly explains why she taught her children Yiddish, and a grandchild scolds his parents because they did not. One young woman finds the Jewish community too gossipy and confining; another is warmed by its closeness.The cast is vibrant, their words both touching and often hilarious. Comrades and Chicken Ranchers is a delight.
