Dave,

[For IP if you wish.]

The Dept of Homeland Security is now attempting to enforce the expired
patent on the Rubix Cube. I for one will sleep better tonight.

irginia Kice, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement,  
said agents went to Pufferbelly based on a trademark infringement  
complaint filed in the agency's intellectual property rights center in  
Washington, D.C.

 "One of the things that our agency's responsible for doing is  
protecting the integrity of the economy and our nation's financial  
systems and obviously trademark infringement does have significant  
economic implications," she said.
