This Day in Legal History: Bell and Gray File PatentsOn February 14, 1876, both Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray filed patent applications for the invention of the telephone, setting off one of the most famous legal battles in U.S. history. Bell's lawyer submitted his paperwork to the U.S. Patent Office just hours before Gray's, leading to a dispute over who truly invented the device. Gray's filing was a "caveat," an intention to patent, while Bell's was a full application, giving him a legal advantage. When the patent was granted to Bell on March 7, 1876, Gray challenged it, arguing that Bell had improperly incorporated elements of Gray's liquid transmitter design.The controversy led to numerous lawsuits, with Gray and others accusing Bell of fraud and claiming he had seen Gray's filing before finalizing his own. Despite these challenges, the courts consistently ruled in Bell's favor, affirming his rights to the telephone patent. This legal victory gave Bell's company, later known as AT&T, control over the rapidly growing telephone industry. The case highlighted issues of patent timing, intellectual property rights, and legal strategy in technological innovation.The Bell-Gray dispute remains a landmark moment in patent law, demonstrating how the slightest timing difference can determine the outcome of major technological advancements. It also underscored the competitive nature of the late 19th-century invention boom, where multiple inventors often worked on similar ideas simultaneously.Democratic attorneys general from 16 states issued guidance defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI) programs against recent executive orders from former President Trump. Led by Massachusetts AG Andrea Joy Campbell and Illinois AG Kwame Raoul, they argued that DEI initiatives remain legal under existing anti-discrimination laws, including Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The Trump administration's orders call for eliminating DEI efforts from federal agencies and scrutinizing private-sector programs, conflating lawful diversity policies with illegal hiring preferences, the AGs said.Major corporations like Google and Amazon have adjusted or rebranded their DEI initiatives in response to legal uncertainty. The guidance clarifies that policies promoting workplace diversity—such as broad recruitment efforts and impact assessments—are legally distinct from unlawful hiring preferences. Courts have long upheld employers' ability to consider the effects of their policies on different groups to prevent discrimination claims.Meanwhile, Republican AGs, including Missouri's Andrew Bailey, are pushing businesses to abandon DEI programs. Bailey recently sued Starbucks, accusing the company of violating civil rights laws through its DEI initiatives. The conflicting state-level actions highlight the growing legal and political battle over corporate diversity policies.Democratic AGs Defend DEI Against ‘Misleading' Trump DirectivesTwo federal judges will decide whether Elon Musk's government cost-cutting team, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), can access sensitive U.S. government systems. Since his appointment by President Trump last month, Musk has led efforts to eliminate wasteful spending, but critics argue his team lacks legal authority to handle Treasury payment systems and sensitive agency data.Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan will consider a request from Democratic attorneys general to extend a temporary block preventing DOGE from accessing Treasury systems that process trillions in payments. The states argue Musk's team could misuse personal data and disrupt funding for health clinics, preschools, and climate programs.In Washington, Judge John Bates will review a separate request from unions seeking to prevent DOGE from accessing records at the Department of Health and Human Services, the Labor Department, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Bates previously ruled in favor of the Trump administration but will now reconsider after the unions amended their lawsuit.Democratic AGs have also filed a separate lawsuit claiming Musk's appointment is unconstitutional and seeking to block him from making personnel decisions or canceling contracts. While courts have blocked several of Trump's initiatives, his administration has continued firing government workers and cutting foreign aid, mostly targeting programs opposed by conservatives.Musk's DOGE team: Judges to consider barring it from US government systems | ReutersA federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore funding for hundreds of foreign aid contractors affected by a 90-day funding freeze. The ruling temporarily blocks the administration from canceling foreign aid contracts and grants that were in place before Trump took office on January 20. The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by two health organizations that rely on U.S. funding for overseas programs. The Trump administration had halted all foreign aid payments, claiming the pause was necessary to review program efficiency and alignment with policy priorities. However, Judge Amir Ali ruled that the government had not provided a rational justification for the sweeping suspension, which disrupted agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations worldwide. Trump has also ordered federal agencies to prepare for major job cuts, leading to layoffs among government workers without full job protections. His administration has already removed or sidelined hundreds of civil servants and top officials, part of a broader effort to reshape the federal workforce and consolidate power among political allies.Judge orders US to restore funds for foreign aid programs | ReutersA federal judge has ordered the release of Supreme Court advocate Tom Goldstein, three days after he was jailed for allegedly violating pretrial release conditions in a tax fraud case. Goldstein, a prominent appellate lawyer and co-founder of SCOTUSblog, was indicted last month on 22 counts of tax evasion related to his high-stakes poker winnings and alleged misuse of law firm funds to cover debts.Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Sullivan ruled that there was insufficient evidence to keep Goldstein incarcerated for allegedly concealing cryptocurrency transactions. However, the judge imposed new restrictions, including monitoring his internet use and prohibiting cryptocurrency transfers.Prosecutors claimed Goldstein secretly moved millions in crypto after his initial release, prompting his second arrest. Goldstein argued the transactions occurred in 2023 and that he did not own the accounts in question. While the judge found Goldstein's evidence created enough doubt to justify his release, he also suggested Goldstein may still have access to hidden funds that could enable him to flee. Goldstein has pleaded not guilty, and his legal team maintains the government's case lacks proof.Supreme Court veteran Goldstein wins release again in tax crimes case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Gustav Mahler.Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) was a visionary composer and conductor whose symphonies bridged the late Romantic and early modern eras. Known for his deeply personal and expansive works, Mahler infused his music with themes of life, death, and transcendence. His Symphony No. 2, often called the Resurrection Symphony, is one of his most ambitious compositions, blending massive orchestral forces with choral elements to explore the journey from despair to spiritual renewal.The symphony's fifth and final movement, Im Tempo des Scherzo – Aufersteh'n, is a dramatic culmination of the work's themes. It begins in chaos, with the orchestra depicting the terror of the apocalypse, before gradually moving toward light and resolution. The music builds in intensity until the choir enters softly, singing the text of Friedrich Klopstock's Resurrection Ode, which speaks of rising again after death. Mahler expands on these words, adding his own lines about redemption and eternal life.The movement swells to one of the most powerful climaxes in symphonic history, with soaring brass, thunderous percussion, and a triumphant chorus proclaiming victory over death. The final moments are a breathtaking ascent, as the music dissolves into radiant serenity. This movement is more than just a finale; it is an emotional and philosophical journey, offering a sense of transcendence that has resonated with audiences for over a century.Without further ado, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the fifth and final movement – Im Tempo des Scherzo.

Here's your hosts, Allen Hall and Phil Totaro. Allen Hall: Well, Phil, our first idea of the week is from our friends at Vestas, and it's an anti oscillation tool for wind turbine blades. And how this patent is described, it's like a sock for your wind turbine blade with a little bit of a covering over the trailing edge serrations, and you slide this device on And it stops oscillations during deployment, when the, when the turbine may be a little more vulnerable, it's not a full operation, maybe in lockouts, where you really don't want any lift, and particularly you don't want any oscillations that could, in theory, Phil Totaro: Yeah. And maybe it's an idea that GE should have come up with or LM should have come up with first considering some of the issues they've had this year. But what's kind of fascinating about this though, is that this isn't necessarily a new idea from the perspective of putting a little sock on the end of your wind turbine blade to protect the tip during a lift. Usually it's for making sure that you don't damage the serrations or whatever you've stuck on the trailing edge of the blade. In this case, Vestas and, and I'm, I'm kind of expressing my opinion or suggestion here that I think Vestas is basically trying to get an extra 20 years of life on a patented concept that, They, are potentially using on a daily basis for that construction purpose. They found another way to describe that same technology and as an anti oscillation tool. Allen Hall: You ever seen a device called a slap chopper, Phil? No. It slices and it dices. Oh, that thing. Yeah, I have. I have. So what they've To have done, in a sense, is they've taken the Slapchopper and got a patent for slicing, and then when that got close to expiring, they came back and said, well, it dices too, which is a separate patent, and thereby you can extend the same device for Covering two areas. It's very unique way of patenting and very effective by the way. It's smart. Phil Totaro: Yeah, it is. If, if you're trying to capture and protect your IP, but it also doesn't say much for the patent examiners we've ever had in this industry who can't seem to recognize that this is what companies are doing because this is not the first time this has happened. I can recall a few examples in the past where companies had You know, had, their 20 years of patent protection on a concept and then repatented basically the same thing and said, Oh, well, it's not for cooling. It's for vibration damping, or it's not for one thing. It's for something else. So it looks like that's what's happening here. And, I guess kudos to Vestas for trying and maybe not so many kudos to the U. S. Patent Office for allowing stuff like this to get pushed Allen Hall: through. Roncopeel made a living doing that. If you're familiar with Ronco, it's Christmas time and every Christmas you would have another Ronco product, which slices, dices, cooked a chicken or something.

Noah Healy, the founder of Coordisc, has developed a revolutionary market system called the Coordinated Discovery Market (CDM), designed to make economic transactions more efficient and transparent. The CDM separates traditional market roles—producers, consumers, and negotiators—into distinct categories, streamlining processes and reducing waste while still achieving the same outcomes as conventional markets. Healy's work aims to address the inefficiencies of outdated market systems that have dominated for centuries, offering a more adaptable and equitable alternative to global economic exchange. However, Healy's groundbreaking invention faces significant legal challenges. His patent for the CDM has been tied up in a lengthy and contentious approval process, with multiple disputes and rejections from the U.S. Patent Office. Despite presenting new mathematical proofs that could redefine patent law, Healy's application remains under dispute, threatening to stall the broader impact of his innovative market model. His case is not only about protecting intellectual property but also about reshaping the future of economic systems in a way that benefits individuals, not just large financial institutions. To support Healy's fight for a fair patent process and help bring his innovative market system to life, you can take action today. By signing the petition, you can show your support for a new economic future—one that values efficiency, fairness, and transparency over outdated systems of control. Your voice can make a difference in helping Healy secure the intellectual property rights necessary to revolutionize global markets for the benefit of all. We're happy you're here! Like the pod?

It's no secret that I've had some trademark issues. When you build a business, you're bound to be touched by trademarks in some way. You could file for your own trademark, or someone could be infringing on yours or you could be trying to be preventative. There are a lot of areas. One that is particularly unnerving is getting a notice from an attorney or, even worse, the United States Trademark and Patent Office that you're infringing on someone else's trademark or that your trademark is in jeopardy. Everyone can guess the reaction letters like that would cause. Pure panic to anyone who receives it. Do you know who knows that best? Scammers. I know this because I just almost got trademark scammed. In this episode, I'm sharing what trademark scam I was targeted with, what I did, the most common types of trademark scams, and how to keep yourself protected.

What is a patent post-grant supplemental reexamination? Once your patent has been issued, sometimes you might want to have the Patent Office take a second a look to see if it really should have been issued in the first place. Why would you want to do this? One reason is that it can make invalidating your patent harder to do by others, and second, you can avoid the dreaded "Fraud on the Patent Office."

Poolbeg Pharma CEO Jeremy Skillington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's unaudited interim results for the first half of 2024, highlighting strong progress with its lead development candidate, POLB 001. As of 30 June 2024, the company reported a cash balance of £10.1 million, showcasing its prudent financial management and ability to support ongoing development initiatives. Skillington emphasized that POLB 001 is on track, with robust data demonstrating its efficacy in reducing cancer immunotherapy-induced cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in an in vivo animal model. This strengthens the company's patent portfolio, with the U.S. Patent Office recently granting Poolbeg a new patent for its Immunomodulator II, covering a class of drugs, including POLB 001, aimed at treating or preventing hypercytokinemia (cytokine storm) across a range of diseases. This patent approval enhances Poolbeg's ability to expand its intellectual property and attract potential partners. Poolbeg Pharma is actively engaging with multiple potential partners to further develop and commercialize POLB 001. Additionally, the company signed an exclusive 12-month option agreement for tPTX, a novel topical muco-adherent treatment for oral ulcers in patients suffering from Behçet's Disease. The treatment holds significant potential, with FDA Fast Track Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, and a possible 505(b)(2) approval pathway in the U.S., indicating its promising market prospects. Skillington emphasized Poolbeg's commitment to advancing its pipeline while maintaining strong financial discipline, positioning the company for future growth and partnerships in the biotech sector. #proactiveinvestors #poolbegpharma #aim #polb #RareDiseases #JeremySkillington #GLP1Receptor #CancerImmunotherapy #PharmaNews #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #ProactiveInvestors#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #RareDiseases #JeremySkillington #GLP1Receptor #CancerImmunotherapy #PharmaNews #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #ProactiveInvestors
Jim Poole says “The human race appears to be in a race to erase the human race.” And at a time when “many people seem to have lost control of their lives,” NuCalm is the perfect remedy, argues Poole, the visionary CEO behind the stress management technology. “We have a tireless passion for helping people reclaim control of their lives,' says Poole. “And we can do it with the world's most powerful neuroscience. We have a culture of service. We don't serve for reciprocity or credit, we serve because we want to, we can, and we love to. It's our mission and it's our purpose and we will leave an indelible legacy on the human condition.” NuCalm is a unique, patented technology that's clinically proven to lower stress and improve sleep quality. It guides brain wave function reliably, safely, and effectively, with no drugs or side effects, using physics, mathematics, and algorithms in neuroacoustic software underneath music. Poole, 55, is an accomplished business executive with extensive experience in the healthcare, biotechnology, medical, financial services, market research, and IT industries. Since 2009 he has managed the strategic direction and ongoing operations of NuCalm, a neuroscience company with an expertise in evidence-based personalized wellness and performance. NuCalm stands alone as a pioneer in neuroscience that provides humans with the power to change their mental state on demand, without drugs or side effects. In July 2015, the U.S. Patent Office granted NuCalm the first and only patent for “Systems and Methods for Balancing and Maintaining the Health of the Human Autonomic Nervous System.” In August 2021, the U.S. Patent Office granted NuCalm the first and only patent for “Methods and devices for applying dynamic, non-linear oscillations and vibrations to elicit a physiological state change in humans.” Poole has successfully launched global products, managed growth strategies, and optimized business operations for both large and small organizations. Prior to joining NuCalm, he founded Focused Evolution, a global management strategy consulting firm. As Managing Partner, Poole oversaw mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, and growth strategies for venture capital and private equity firms.

NCLA has filed an amicus curiae brief urging the Supreme Court to consider Chestek PLLC v. Vidal and prevent the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from bypassing notice-and-comment rulemaking. It is crucial that rules with significant economic impact are not issued without public input or consideration of all relevant information. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision below was erroneous as it effectively nullified a statute requiring the PTO to undergo notice-and-comment procedures before establishing rules. NCLA seeks Supreme Court intervention to correct this and reinstate the PTO's mandated accountability to the public. In their latest episode, Mark, Jenin, and Senior Litigation Counsel Greg Dolin discuss the details of the amicus brief.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alfred Edward Housman was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire, England on March 26, 1859 and was the eldest of seven children. A year after his birth, Housman's family moved to nearby Bromsgrove, where the poet grew up and had his early education. In 1877, he attended St. John's College, Oxford and received first class honours in classical moderations.Housman became distracted, however, when he fell in love with his roommate, Moses Jackson. He unexpectedly failed his final exams, but managed to pass the final year and later took a position as clerk in the Patent Office in London for ten years.During this time, Housman studied Greek and Roman classics intensively, and, in 1892, he was appointed professor of Latin at University College, London. In 1911, he became professor of Latin at Trinity College, Cambridge, a post he held until his death. As a classicist, Housman gained renown for his editions of the Roman poets Juvenal, Lucan, and Manilius, as well as his meticulous and intelligent commentaries, and his disdain for the unscholarly.Housman only published two volumes of poetry during his life: A Shropshire Lad (1896) and Last Poems (1922). The majority of the poems in A Shropshire Lad, his cycle of sixty-three poems, were written after the death of Adalbert Jackson, Housman's friend and companion, in 1892. These poems center around themes of pastoral beauty, unrequited love, fleeting youth, grief, death, and the patriotism of the common soldier. After the manuscript had been turned down by several publishers, Housman decided to publish it at his own expense, much to the surprise of his colleagues and students.While A Shropshire Lad was slow to gain in popularity, the advent of war, first in the Boer War and then in World War I, gave the book widespread appeal due to its nostalgic depiction of brave English soldiers. Several composers created musical settings for Housman's work, deepening his popularity.Housman continued to focus on his teaching, but in the early 1920s, when his old friend Moses Jackson was dying, Housman chose to assemble his best unpublished poems so that Jackson might read them. These later poems, most of them written before 1910, exhibit a range of subject and form much greater than the talents displayed in A Shropshire Lad. When Last Poems was published in 1922, it was an immediate success. A third volume, More Poems, was released posthumously in 1936 by his brother, Laurence, as was an edition of Housman's Complete Poems (1939).Despite receiving acclaim as a scholar and a poet during his lifetime, Housman lived as a recluse, rejecting honors and avoiding the public eye. He died on April 30, 1936 in Cambridge.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 420. From the recently-concluded Seventeenth Annual (2023) Meeting of the PFS, Bodrum, Turkey (Sep. 24, 2023). The slide presentation is streamed below (ppt).

In this podcast episode, the hosts Samar Shah and Jamie Brophy are interviewed by Jamie's two sons, Griffin and Jordan. The boys have questions about patents, which they ask during the episode. They learn that a patent is a legal document that gives inventors rights to protect their inventions from being made, sold, or used by others. The process of getting a patent involves writing a patent application and submitting it to the Patent Office for review. It can take several years to obtain a patent due to the backlog of applications at the Patent Office. The cost of obtaining a patent, and more. Once you have a patent, you need to mark your product as patented when selling it. This notifies others that you have the exclusive rights to the invention and discourages them from copying it. If someone does copy your invention, you can send them a letter asking them to stop. If they refuse, legal action can be taken by filing a lawsuit in federal court. Overall, patents are important for protecting inventions and preventing others from copying them without permission. And, if someone does steal your invention, patents give you the right to sue infringers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/patentpending/message
This week, I swear. Siemens, UCLA, world largest chipmaker TSMC, US depts of HHS and the Patent Office, plus the maker of Oreo cookies, all need to meet me at the pub.
No timid, shrinking violet ever made a million dollars! It takes bold thinking and bold action to rise to the top of the ladder of success. One of the priceless ingredients of our million dollar secret is: Boldness of concept and boldness of action. Perhaps in your own life, you reached some decisive moment when you had to take a bold and decisive step in the direction of your destiny, where fortune, fame and riches awaited you. Perhaps you hesitated, fearful of taking the step from which there was no return—and you lost the biggest opportunity of your entire life. A weak, timid, indecisive approach to life breeds inertia, failure, and misery. You may fail to act because you do not have confidence in yourself, or simply, as is true in so many cases, because you feel that everything has been discovered, invented and achieved in this age of miracles. Back in 1880 a man who worked for the U.S. Patent Office wrote a letter, resigning from his job because, he said, “Everything has been invented that could possibly be conceived of by man, and I see no future to my job.” Just stop and think what amazing inventions have come since that time! The future is as full of opportunities for those who have bold concepts and take bold steps to achieve their destiny as it was in the distant past. We are only now breaking through barriers that will lead man to some of the greatest achievements the world has ever known! ake My Large Sums Of Money Activation Trainings https://realityrevolutioncon.com/largesumsofmoney Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation AURA Training https://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Music By Mettaverse Music

Like most organizations, intellectual property offices (IPOs) have faced significant challenges in recent years. From the pandemic to financial market turmoil, through supply chain issues, to increased cyberthreats, IPOs have had to navigate these hurdles and more, stretching their budget, information technology, and organizational resources in unexpected ways. Yet, IP registrations have been soaring globally, and IPOs generally seem to have been riding those waves with success, often transforming challenges into opportunities to evolve and better meet the needs of creators, businesses, and the market.Beyond their role as processors of IP applications and registrations or an inventory of registered assets, how do IPOs envision their mission in 2023. What sort of initiatives do they carry out to ensure they stay in tune with innovators, businesses big and small, and the market at large? How much of a transformative force can they be for the IP world?Our guest today is Hamano Koichi, the Commissioner of the Japan Patent Office (JPO). Appointed in July 2022, he manages JPO operations and oversees Japan's policy on patents, trademarks, and design rights. Prior to chairing JPO, Mr. Hamano has served in a wide range of senior roles at the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), including as Director of the Finance Division, Business Environment Department; Counselor for Energy Policy; Executive Vice President and Advisor of Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC); and Director-General of the Regional Economic and Industrial Policy Group, among others.Brand & New is a production of the International Trademark AssociationHosted by Audrey Dauvet - Contribution of M.

In this episode, Jeff Harty and Professor Mark Janis delve into the world of design patents, discussing how they became part of the patent regime, challenges facing the protection of modern-day ornamental designs, and possible upcoming changes in design patent law in view of the “article of manufacture” requirement. They also look at specific cases and strategies for claiming and prosecuting design patent applications. In this episode, Jeff Harty and Mark Janis discuss: The evolution of design patents and how they found their home in the patent regime. The effects of Section 171 and imposing many of the requirements for utility patents on design patents. The “article of manufacture” requirement and its impact on protecting modern ornamental designs. Possible upcoming changes in design patent law. Key Takeaways: Design patents have been an awkward fit in a patent regime focused largely on technological inventions. Recently, the Federal Circuit Court has ruled that textual references to the article of manufacture in the title and in the claim could limit the scope of design patent protection. If you're going to have the textual matter limit the scope of your claim for infringement, surely, it would equally apply in a determination on patent validity.The Patent Office has not revised the guidelines for graphical user interfaces in years, but debate and discussion about the needed changes are happening now. “You hear reports of a global marketplace for user interface/user experience design in the billions and billions [of dollars]. It could be the key area of design and innovation in the future. To be sure, we could create rules that effectively would kick those designs out of the design patent regime if we cared that much about the language ‘article of manufacture.'” — Mark Janis About Mark Janis: Mark D. Janis teaches courses in patents, trademarks, and other areas of intellectual property law. He is the Robert A. Lucas Chair of Law and the director of the Center for Intellectual Property Research at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

This episode introduces the new co-host of the Sidebars podcast, Kate Geyer. Kate is an Associate in Kilpatrick Townsend's Seattle office. Her practice focuses on patent litigation in federal court and at the ITC, as well as post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent Office. Kate is a 2019 graduate of George Washington University Law School. She graduated with high honors, Order of the Coif, and won the Rothwell, Figg, Ernst & Manbeck Award. While in law school, in addition to being a research assistant and an articles editor for the George Washington Law Review, Kate also won the 2018 and 2019 AIPLA's Giles S. Rich Memorial Moot Court Competition and served as a judicial intern for the honorable Kara Stoll Carto on the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and as a law clerk in the Office of Unfair Import Investigations at the ITC. Prior to law school, Kate graduated from MIT with a BS in physics and minors in mathematics and political science, then followed her passion for the intersection of technology and policy to a position as a business analyst in Washington, DC, dissecting emerging technologies for the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community customers. In this episode, Kate shares her journey to becoming the patent litigator and fierce advocate she is today. This journey also built her determination to break the barriers and institutional biases that still persist for women and minorities in patent law, and to create a more welcoming and inclusive profession - one in which there is a seat at the table for everyone.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community Friends of the Garden in Athens, Georgia Register Here Historical Events 1849 Birth of Luther Burbank (books about this person), American botanist and horticulturist. During his 55-year career, Luther developed over 800 varieties of plants. He is remembered for many plants, including the Shasta daisy and the white blackberry. A russet-colored variant of a Luther potato became the world's predominant potato in food processing and was called the Russet Burbank Potato. Luther hoped the potato would help revive Ireland's potato production after late blight destroyed potatoes all across Europe. Luther once said, Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind. 1858 On this day, Robert Fortune (books about this person) left for his fourth trip to China. Months earlier, he had sent thousands of tea seeds to the United States. The Americans didn't feel they required Fortune's oversight to cultivate the plants, although the distribution of the little seedlings wasn't very strategic. Most of the seeds and plants were distributed via members of congress from southern states who sent the plants home to their farming constituents. James Rion of South Carolina wrote, In the fall of 1859, I received from the Patent Office, Washington, a very tiny tea plant, which I placed in my flower garden as a curiosity. It has grown well, has always been free from any disease, has had full outdoor exposure, and attained a height of 5 feet, 8 inches There cannot be the least doubt but that the tea plant will flourish in South Carolina. Two years later, the start of the Civil War derailed those early hopes for tea production in the United States. 1865 On this day, Edmund Hope Verney received a letter. By this point, Edmund had been botanizing Vancouver Island for three years. All throughout his expedition, he was gobsmacked by the beauty of the landscape - especially during spring and had written, I cannot believe that any part of the world can show a greater variety and number of wildflowers than this. As much as he could, Edmund sent specimens back home to Claydon in England. Occasionally, he would get discouraged if he didn't hear back - sometimes not even a thank you. But on this day, 1865, Edmund's stepmother wrote with words of praise, Your seeds are excellent - just what we wanted - the Colony is celebrated for its Pines and Cypresses. The Bishop says bulbs, too. If [possible], perhaps you can bring some with you - all lilies are valuable. Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Art and Science of William Bartram by Judith Magee This book came out in 2007, and it's one of the best authoritative books on William Bartram. William was an eminent artist and naturalist, and he was one of the first people to explore the flora and fauna of the American Southeast between 1773 and 1777. Bartram's work was sent to his patron back in London, and today the London Natural History Museum houses most of William Bartram's drawings. Judith's book showcased for the first time all sixty-eight Bartram drawings from the Natural History Museum, along with other pieces from his contemporaries. This book also shares some of Bartram's writings and letters, proving that Bartram was influential during his lifetime and a beacon for the next generation of American naturalists. Bartram's work had an impact beyond the world of science. Wordsworth, Coleridge, and other writers found in the significance of Bartram's drawings and writing a source of inspiration. Bartram accomplished so much during his lifetime, especially because he was entirely self-taught. Bartram's humility and compassion made it possible for him to spend time with Native Americans during his explorations. He became an authority on the birds of North America. In 1773, William collected and propagated seeds from the Franklinia or the Franklin tree. The tree survives today, thanks to William Bartram. This book is 276 pages of William Bartram's life and contributions in the context of modern scientific thinking. You can get a copy of The Art and Science of William Bartram by Judith Magee and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for $46. Botanic Spark 2001 On this day, The Baltimore Sun shared a story called Maryland's Mr. Grass Plantsman: Kurt Bluemel ("Blu-MEL") by Nancy Taylor Robson. Nurseryman and landscaper Kurt Bluemel had dealt with groundhogs, rabbits, and rapacious deer. But nothing in his career prepared him for the destructive powers of elephants and giraffes. "They are like organic lawnmowers!" he [said]. Kurt Bluemel (the company) is one of the largest, most extensive wholesale growers of ornamental grasses in the nation, which is why six years ago the Disney company asked him to help design, supply and plant the 125 acres of Savanna at its new Animal Kingdom in Florida. He assumed the animals would graze the landscape, so he was careful to avoid poisonous plants. But, he was unprepared for their voraciousness. "We planted acacias they have very long thorns as part of the permanent landscape, but the giraffes ate them down to the ground. Thorns and all!" Another surprise was the soil or lack of it. "Florida only has sand," he says. "It's like hydroponic growing. As soon as you stop giving things water and fertilizer, they stop growing. But with food and water, in three months, the vegetation was unbelievable! We miscalculated planting distances as a result." Kurt died of cancer in 2014 at the age of 81. He was known as Mr. Grass and The King of Grasses after a lifetime spent championing ornamental grasses and perennials to bring nature, movement, and vibrancy to the landscape.
