IT’S TIME TO CHECK YOUR MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE
that the term “Daytona Beach Bike Week” is generic and cannot be trademarked.
While Daytona Beach Bike Week may have been canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn’t the first time someone tried to cancel the historic motorcycle rally. In 2010, a New York-based holding company began circulating a letter to various Daytona Beach-area businesses threatening to “take all legal actions to protect its rights” against any business that produced or sold T-shirts or other merchandise bearing the Daytona Beach Bike Week name without agreeing to pay a royalty fee. Ultimately, a lawsuit commenced, and a federal judge held that the New York-based holding company did not have the right to trademark the name. The Judge held that “[b]ecause the phrase ‘Daytona Beach Bike Week’ has been used by so many different entities over the past few decades, consumers do not associate the term or phrase with any one source, and no one entity has any control over the use of the phrase.” In other words, Daytona Beach Bike Week was saved because the court held
This year, Bike Week may have come to an end early, but that will not deter motorcycle enthusiasts from hitting the open road and enjoying the great Florida weather. However, before you hop on your bike, be sure you have the proper motorcycle insurance to protect yourself and your family. Florida is a no-fault state and requires personal injury protection coverage for vehicles of four wheels or more. No-fault coverage ensures that all medical bills will be paid up to $10,000, regardless of who was at fault in an accident. However, no-fault coverage does not apply to motorcycles. This means if you are injured on your motorcycle due to the fault of another, you will need to pursue the at-fault driver to cover your medical bills and expenses. However, in Florida, drivers are not required to carry bodily injury coverage. This means
if a driver hits you and hurts you, they may not have any coverage to compensate you. This is why it is extraordinarily important for motorcycle riders to carry uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. UM/UIM coverage steps into the shoes of the at-fault driver if there is no insurance or not enough insurance to properly compensate you for damages. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage for your motorcycle, car, or home, feel free to give us a call for a free insurance coverage review. We are always happy to spend a few minutes of our time to ensure you have the proper insurance coverage to protect you and your family.

EASY DEVILED EGGS
Jennifer Romej (Legal Assistant) Not having to travel to downtown Orlando from Lake County every day is quite nice. The extra work hours allow me to get an early start on work in the morning so I can spend time with my son in the afternoon. Josh Martell (Attorney) My wife enjoys me being home more because I am able to do my household chores during my lunch break. Unfortunately, my weekly allowance has not increased, as she still only gives me $20 per week. I do miss being able to meet with clients in person. I always enjoyed building a rapport with my clients. Philip Wayne (Attorney) I feel that the shirt and tie with pajama pants will be the fashion trend of the future.
