Wolf, Block, Schorr & Solis-Cohen LLP

Roseland, NJ -April 2, 2004-

A Great Victory!

WolfBlock attorneys in the firm's Roseland, NJ office, Carl Soranno and Jonathan Bick, along with associate Adelaide Riggi secured the exclusive right to use the trademark JERSEY SHORE in reference to radiological and imaging medical services in the Jersey Shore area of New Jersey for client Jersey Shore Radiology Associates by litigating this matter in the United State District Court for the District of New Jersey. This achievement is noteworthy for two reasons.

First, geographic terms such as JERSEY SHORE are ordinarily unprotectable because they do not perform the trademark function of distinguishing the business source or origin of the product. In this case, the WolfBlock attorneys demonstrated it was legally protectable because it had attained a secondary meaning.

Second, this matter was resolved in about a month. The WolfBlock team achieved this result by requesting a preliminary injunction with accelerated discovery rather than focusing on temporary restraints. By focusing on irreparable injury to the client the matter was resolved expeditiously. As desired by our client, our client's adversary was permanently restricted from using JERSEY SHORE in association with its business, in short order.

WolfBlock Partner Inducted as Bar President Cheryl Young to lead Montgomery Bar Association

PHILADELPHIA, PA—January 16, 2004—Cheryl L. Young, a partner in WolfBlock’s Family Law Practice Group, was inducted as the Montgomery Bar Association’s 74^th president in Norristown.

Ms. Young outlined a number of goals for the upcoming year. One of her first priorities will be to continue to strengthen Montgomery Bar Association’s relationship with the legislature. Young plans on strengthening the relationship through annual Day on the Hill outings, as well as, through the professionalism committee that she has established here at the Bar Association. Another aspect of the Bar Association that Young would like to work on is the MBA’s website. “I would like to revitalize MBA’s website.” One project she would like to see get off the ground is having the Legal Directory accessible online with a membership picture directory.

Young has already implemented a new committee on professionalism. “As our lawyers continue to focus more and more on one area of practice, and the number of lawyers continues to grow, it is imperative that we continue to maintain our role as professionals and not just view ourselves as businessmen. As this becomes more difficult in more challenging times, it also becomes more relevant. I am looking forward to this committee taking an active role with the Bar Association.”

In addition to creating the professionalism committee, Young says the key to a successful presidency is working with others. “Although the president is the captain of the ship, it is my view that a president’s success rests, in large part, on those people who provide support and back up,” said Young. “I also think it is important to be out front with leadership and be willing to address issues promptly, regardless of whether they are controversial or unpleasant.”

According to Young, some of her most important goals as president are to “make sure our website reflects the high quality of our lawyers and our Bar Association. I also want to stay on top of all that is happening in the legislature because I believe there are constant proposals and bills put forth that could significantly alter and potentially hurt lawyers’ ability to practice law in this Commonwealth. Finally, I want to continue to improve membership services so that we can maintain the high level of involvement of our current members and attract new members to this Association.”

Ms. Young, a resident of Maple Glenn, Pennsylvania, practices in WolfBlock’s Norristown office. She is a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. She concentrates her practice in matrimonial law, which includes divorce, custody, support, property distribution and abuse actions. Ms. Young received her undergraduate degree from Michigan State University in 1982 and her J.D. from American University, Washington College of Law in 1985. In addition to practicing law, Ms. Young is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association House of Delegates and is a past chair of the Montgomery County Family Law Section from 1994 to 1995. She has also served as President of the Victims Service Center, a director of Ambler YMCA and a member of the Children and Youth Multidisciplinary Team.
