Some words of Albert Einstein

A human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Member Profile Jon White, of magic-by-mail had been on the police force in England, but his retirement in the U.S. didn't end his lifelong interest in magic. In fact, the hobby Jon nurtured since he was a boy of 9 has now become his fulltime obsession with a handsome income attached, thanks to eBay. "When I moved to America, I needed to find a way to supplement my pension. eBay let me combine that necessity with magic, my lifelong passion. I made some card tricks and listed them on eBay. To my amazement, they sold. I reinvested the money and made more tricks--and they sold! After six or seven weeks, I started looking for a wholesale supplier." Now magic-by-mail carries items from as many as four wholesalers at a time besides the items that Jon makes himself.

How to Protect Your Intellectual Property

Developing a strategy to protect intellectual property is critical. First, identify all the innovations in products or manufacturing methods that you and your associates or employees developed during the last couple of years. This gives you a list of all your assets that may benefit from patent or trade-secret protection. Also, be sure to gather all the software, instructional manuals, or promotional literature developed or published under your direction or authority for the last five or six years. This will help you build your case against copycats.
