Scuba Divers Find Rare Ice Age Mammoth Bone at Bottom of Florida River
On 5/3/21 at 3:29 PM EDT When you uncover this fossil and realize there were these giant, elephant-like creatures roaming around what was probably once a grassland in Florida, it gives you a sense of wonder for what it was like back in ancient times, Demeter, the director of Seminole State College s Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust Planetarium, said. It s kind of like our way of time traveling. It makes your imagination go wild.
Henry Sadler and Derek Demeter dredged this mammoth bone up from the bottom of the Peace River in Arcadia, FL.
Columbia cites design patent in winter jacket suit
30-04-2021
Columbia Sportswear is suing Canadian outerwear company Wuxly for infringing a design patent covering heat-reflective material.
In a lawsuit filed on April 27 at the US District Court for the District of Oregon, Columbia claimed that Wuxly’s Sabertooth line of jackets uses a lightweight underlining that infringes its Omni-Heat Reflective material. Columbia chose to sue in its home state of Oregon under the “alien venue” rule, as Wuxly is registered in Canada and has no established place of business in the US.
The design patent-in-suit (US number 655,921) covers a heat-reflective material that retains body heat, as well as allowing breathability and moisture wicking. Specifically, the patent covers the “ornamental design” in which the lining is woven.
