Trademark: “Don’t TiVo it tonight.”

Defend your trademark or loose your rights to it forever. TiVo, apparently is putting up a fight and sending nasty letters to newsies around the country to cease-and-desist using “TiVo” as a verb.
“So as you pull up the ZIPPER of your SPANDEX running suit and ride the ESCALATOR down to the TARMAC, keep in mind that these were all trademarks lost to the “genericized” use of the word. Also on that list is HEROIN, formerly a pain reliever registered by Bayer.”
I remember an advertisement in Editor & Publisher several years ago that Xerox paid for. Essentially, it asked that the word “Xerox” not be used as a verb. I also cringing when my mother uses it to this day to mean “copy” something.

T.S. Satyan, honored
The University of Mysore has conferred a honorary doctorate degree (Honoris Causa) on Mr. T. S. Satyan, a well known and well-respected photojournalist based in Karnataka.
I would like to take this oopportunity to salute his legendary work in India and wish him a very happy 81st birthday. From a recent email exchange with him, I know he has an autobiography being published. Perhaps an exhibit of his work is also underway. I'll keep you posted.
By sheer coincidence, Mr. Satyan is related, albeit distantly, to my wife.
