for real did they just cut the green line trains in half and not tell us? I waited 20+ minutes at rush hour monday and it’s approaching that today, plus in the mornings it’s been 3x more packed than usual

today there was a guy on the green line who was as tall as the train & had to keep his head down the whole ride
I feel like he had well over a foot on me. how tall are the train cars? not to sound like a 6th grader but ~6’7”?

...one exception to the doctrine is material alteration
ta argues the product CVS purchasers get is actually materially different, & not covered by first sale doctrine, because the products don't come w/ the same warranty & customer-service protections

another exception can exist where the sale creates a likelihood of confusion. here, ta thinks it matters that cvs purchasers will be misled into thinking the sale is authorized by him when it isn't.

a reminder to all law students: you don't need a STEM background to be an IP lawyer--only utility patent prosecution requires patent bar passage (which requires you completed a particular major or sufficient hours of study in a STEM field):

property law professors, this truly epic hypo is for you!
