PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Penn State has won a closely watched trademark fight over an online retailer's use of its vintage sports logos and images. A Pennsylvania jury awarded Penn State $28,000 in damages on Wednesday over products made and sold by Vintage Brand and Sportswear Inc., two firms co-founded by former minor league baseball player Chad Hartvigson. Penn State accused them of selling “counterfeit” clothing and accessories, while the defendants said their website makes clear they are not affiliated with the university. At least a dozen other schools have sued the defendants on similar grounds, including Purdue, Stanford and UCLA, Penn State said in its 2021 lawsuit. However, the Penn State case was the first to go to trial and seen by some as a test case in the sports merchandising industry. “It addresses an important issue with trademark law — whether or not the mark owner is able to prevent third parties from using its marks on T-shirts and paraphernalia without permission,” said Tiffany Gehrke, a trademark lawyer in Chicago who was not involved in the case. The verdict, she said, maintains the status quo, while a victory for Vintage Brand “could have shaken things up.” It followed a six-day trial in federal court in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, overseen by Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann. Defense lawyers declined to comment on the verdict and whether their clients planned to appeal. Penn State, in a statement, called its trademarks “critical” to the school's brand, and said it was grateful for the verdict. “The university appreciates this result as it relates to the many hundreds of licensees with whom the university works and who go through the appropriate processes to use Penn State’s trademarks," the statement said. Founded in 1855, Penn State adopted the Nittany Lion as its mascot in 1904 and has been using various images of the animal, along with the school's seal and other logos, for decades, the lawsuit said. The school now has more than 100,000 students at 24 campuses.Avior Wealth Management LLC Cuts Holdings in Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR)
I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! fans were all left disappointed by Thursday night’s episode. Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough was voted to take on his third trial in three days after becoming the first campmate of the series to yell “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” at the start of the week. McCullough, 32, failed to secure any stars for camp in his second trial the following day and promised he would find “redemption” for his poor performance on Thursday. The presenter took on the Lethal Lab where he was shut into seven different “containment areas” alongside cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes and spiders. McCullough easily secured four stars for camp before once again shouting “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” when fish guts poured over him in the fifth containment. Although McCullough said he was happy to take four stars back to camp viewers were less impressed with the presenter’s performance and the trial as a whole. “Please most boring and easiest trial ever seen on the show just hand him the 10 stars,” one person wrote on X/Twitter. “Have these been simplified for Dean because he’s so s***?” another viewer questioned. “I’m a celebrity (Juniors edition) for Dean,” a third social media user joked. It comes shortly after Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly admitted they felt deflated when McCullough quit his first trial. Donnelly explained: “We are genuinely disappointed because you are prepared to do the whole trial and you want to see the whole thing. “There’s a lot of time gone into the trials so when it’s called early your like, ‘oh,’” he said. “That’s why we continued to ask him some questions after because we were really enjoying it.” McPartlin added. When asked if the crew become frustrated when a celebrity quits a trial early, the Geordie presenters emphasised the effort the I’m a Celeb staff go to for each trial. “They just want to see it done properly,” McPartlin said. “Even in the past when we’ve had people not go through with it we’ve sometime bought the trials back because we want them to be seen.” New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.Jones alleges fraud and collusion marred the bankruptcy auction in which The Onion was named the winning bidder on November 14 over a company affiliated with him. US bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez had been scheduled to hear an emergency motion to disqualify The Onion’s bid, but decided to put it off until either December 9 or December 17. That is also when the judge will hear arguments on a request to approve the sale of Infowars to The Onion. Mr Lopez said similar arguments are being made in both requests. He could allow The Onion to move forward with the sale, order a new auction or name the other bidder as the winner. At stake is whether Mr Jones gets to stay at Infowars’ studio in Austin, Texas, under a new owner friendly to him, or whether he gets kicked out by The Onion. The other bidder, First United American Companies, runs a website in Mr Jones’s name that sells nutritional supplements. Regardless, Mr Jones has set up a new studio, websites and social media accounts that would allow him to keep airing his show. His personal account with 3.3 million followers on the social platform X was not part of the sale, although Mr Lopez will be deciding whether it should be included in the liquidation and sold off later. In a new court filing on Monday, lawyers for X objected to any sale of the accounts of both Mr Jones and Infowars, saying X is the owner of the accounts and that it has not given consent for them to be sold or transferred. Mr Jones has praised X owner Elon Musk on his show and suggested that Mr Musk should buy Infowars. Mr Musk has not responded publicly to that suggestion and was not among the bidders. Mr Jones’ bankruptcy and the liquidation of his assets came about after he was ordered to pay nearly 1.5 billion dollars (£1.19 billion) to relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Mr Jones was found liable for defamation and emotional distress damages in lawsuits in Connecticut and Texas for repeatedly calling the 2012 shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators a hoax staged by actors to increase gun control. Proceeds from the liquidation are to go to Mr Jones’s creditors, including the Sandy Hook families who sued him. Mr Jones alleged The Onion’s bid was the result of fraud and collusion involving many of those families, the humour site and a court-appointed trustee who is overseeing the liquidation. First United American Companies submitted a 3.5 million dollar (£2.7 million) sealed bid, while The Onion offered 1.75 million dollars (£1.3 million) in cash. But The Onion’s bid also included a pledge by Sandy Hook families to forego some or all of the auction proceeds due to them giving other creditors a total of 100,000 dollars (£79,400) more than they would receive under other bids. The trustee, Christopher Murray, said that made The Onion’s proposal better for creditors and he named it the winning bid. He has denied any wrongdoing. Mr Jones and First United American Companies claimed that the bid violated Mr Lopez’s rules for the auction by including multiple entities and lacking a valid dollar amount. Mr Jones also alleged Mr Murray improperly cancelled an expected round of live bidding and only selected among the sealed bids that were submitted. Mr Jones called the auction “rigged” and a “fraud” on his show, which airs on the Infowars website, radio stations and his X account. In a court filing, Mr Murray called the allegations “a disappointed bidder’s improper attempt to influence an otherwise fair and open auction process”. Mr Lopez’s September order on the auction procedures made a live bidding round optional. It gave broad authority to Mr Murray to conduct the sale, including the power to reject any bid, no matter how high, that was “contrary to the best interests” of Mr Jones, his company and their creditors. Hi friends! I wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest site on the internet. Long and short of it: We won the bid and — you're not going to believe it — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well. — follow @bencollins on bluesky (@oneunderscore__) But at a November 14 hearing, Mr Lopez said he was concerned about the process and transparency. “We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” he said. “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.” The assets of Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, that were up for sale included the Austin studio, Infowars’ video archive, video production equipment, product trademarks, and Infowars’ websites and social media accounts. Mr Jones is appealing the 1.5 billion dollar (£1.19 billion) in judgments citing free speech rights but has acknowledged that the school shooting happened. Mr Jones has brought in millions of dollars a year in revenue by hawking nutritional supplements, clothing, survival gear and other merchandise from his Infowars Store website, according to court documents. Many of Mr Jones’ personal assets, including real estate as well as guns and other personal belongings, also are being sold as part of the bankruptcy.PNC Financial Services Group Inc. lessened its stake in shares of SPDR S&P International Small Cap ETF ( NYSEARCA:GWX – Free Report ) by 4.1% in the 3rd quarter, according to its most recent 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Strictly Come Dancing fans all issue same complaint as Pete Wicks performsDrM, Dr. Mueller AG (DrM) designs and manufactures filtration equipment for solid-liquid separation in the pharmaceutical industry. The company also develops vibratory mixers and single-use technologies. From its FUNDA Filter in the 1950s, DrM established itself in the field of automatic and fully enclosed filtration tanks, later developing and patenting automated filtration processes within single-use filter bags. Headquartered in Switzerland, DrM maintains subsidiaries in China, Dubai (UAE), India, Malaysia, Poland and the USA, and represented globally by licensees, representatives, sales agencies and its own sales offices. All company mixers and filters, custom-made to suit the underlying process, can be developed on an individual basis. Quality is an important aspect to the manufacturing process, which is why DrM is ISO 9001 certified for the design and manufacture of plants. DrM’s strength lies in its process experience within the filtration sector, which now extends to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, with innovative decides and solutions to resolve unique process problems. Single-use filtration for pharmaceutical applications DrM develops patented automated filtration processes within single-use filter bags. The company views potential in incorporating the flexibility of the bag as a process element for tasks such as heel elimination or moving liquids over the traditional view of single-use equipment as a static device. Process intensification and scale-up There has been a rising demand in innovative cell separation technologies as the biologics industry is shifting towards more diverse batch volumes and cell concentrations cultivated in single-use facilities. Traditional technologies, such as cross-flow filters and depth filters, have large footprints, limited flow rates, and rely on high filter areas. The latter causes a high volume of extractables and leachables while being unsustainable and causing extortionate financing and running costs. DrM’s CONTIBAC single-use filter overcomes such restrictions, using a cyclic cake filtration method, which gives the product’s filter unmatched speed without decreasing filtrate quality. The cyclic operation also allows filtering of the same batch volume with a smaller filter. Using a small filter is more sustainable and significantly reduces contamination risk. Therefore, CONTIBAC is advantageous regardless of whether a batch or continuous bioreactor is employed. Cell culture bioprocessing Bioprocessing of cell cultures can be divided into three consecutive steps: fermentation, harvesting and purification. Single-use filters are optimum for cell harvesting, suited for cell densities up to 50m cells / ml. DrM’s single-use filters are complete with a multi-cycle function, enabling smaller footprints and validation and operation cost in comparison to centrifugal and depth filters. Single-use mixers for cell homogenisation Liquid batches filled into vials for injection must go through an effective mixing process. The heel must be disposed of promptly, as mixing cannot be guaranteed as the batch is processed and the tank drained. A mixing device that reduces this heel allows higher yields, reducing operating cost. FUNDAMIX single-use mixers can move large quantities of liquid without affecting sensitive proteins. Vibrations produce high degrees of random distribution at low shear effects on proteins and without baffles. Single-use portfolio As well as filters and mixers, DrM’s product portfolio includes a newly patented pinch valve with a hose size adaptable bed to guarantee uninterrupted operation for many cycles. The company also developed a control panel system to allow for efficient and automatic use of its own products, as well as those of other companies. Extended product portfolio DrM’s non-single-use products for the life sciences industry include its FUNDABAC technology targeted to companies that adhere to good manufacturing practice (GMP). STERIBAC candle filter as a unique execution of the conventional and the traditional FUNDAMIX vibromixer also make up DrM’s extensive portfolio. White Papers As the biologics industry is moving towards more diverse batch volumes and cell concentrations that are cultivated in single-use facilities, there has been a demand for innovative cell separation technologies. Press Releases Dr Mueller, a Swiss company supplying vibratory mixing solutions and filtration equipment for solid-liquid separation in the pharma industry, will be exhibiting at the World Smart Bioprocessing: Pharma 4.0 Summit next month. Dr Mueller, a leading supplier of vibratory mixing solutions and solid-liquid filtration equipment for the pharmaceutical industry, will be exhibiting at the BioProcess International (BPI) conference in Boston, Massachusetts, next month.
