N.Y. Judge Rebuffs Request for Shareholder Records in Airline Takeover Bid

An attempt by AirTran to use a provision of New York law to force an airline it is trying to buy to produce its shareholder records has been rebuffed by New York Supreme Court Justice Helen E. Freedman. AirTran argued that Wisconsin-based Midwest Air Group was directly doing business in New York through its subsidiary Midwest Airlines, and therefore the state's Business Corporation Law should apply. Freedman rejected this argument, holding that Midwest does not conduct business in New York under �1315.

Lawyer 'Was Truly a Legend' of Trademark Bar

Julius R. Lunsford Jr., a pioneering intellectual property lawyer who first registered the trademark for the Coca-Cola hourglass bottle, died Monday after an extended illness. Lunsford's first job, says his son, was as a "trade examiner."
