![]() ==== Meeting the two lawyers ==== Malaak gives his card, a flashy yellow with two red borders. A "Better Call Malaak" inscribed in the middle. ==== In the Courtroom ==== Honorary Judge Ace Judge Axiennex, Today, I present Exhibit C as evidence supporting my client, Zo!'s, claim to the exclusive trademark of the name "Zo!". This exhibit demonstrates that Zo! registered his name as a systemwide trademark before Triaxus signed the Pact, thereby substantiating his claim under interstellar trademark law. Firstly, let us consider the timeline of events: Zo! registered his name as a systemwide trademark on [Date]. This date is crucial as it predates the official signing of the Pact by Triaxus.
Your Honor, it is imperative to understand the legal standing of trademarks registered before significant treaties such as the Pact: Under interstellar trademark law, a systemwide trademark registration grants the registrant exclusive commercial rights to the name. Zo!'s registration falls within this legal framework, providing him with these exclusive rights.
The Pact, Your Honor, explicitly recognizes and honors trademarks and other legal claims established before its enactment: This continuity clause within the Pact ensures that Zo!'s trademark remains protected and enforceable despite the subsequent signing by Triaxus.
Your Honor, the commercial and legal implications of recognizing Zo!'s trademark are significant: Zo!'s systemwide trademark registration grants him exclusive rights to the commercial use of the name "Zo!" across all covered systems. This exclusivity is critical for maintaining the integrity and commercial interests of my client.
In conclusion, Your Honor, Exhibit A provides compelling evidence that Zo!'s systemwide trademark registration, established before Triaxus signed the Pact, is valid and enforceable under interstellar trademark law. The timing of this registration affirms Zo!'s exclusive rights to the name "Zo!" and supports his legal claim. Therefore, I respectfully urge this court to recognize Zo!'s pre-Pact trademark and uphold his exclusive rights to the name "Zo!", as protected by interstellar trademark law. Thank you, Your Honor.

They are small vermin, that can spit ice, burrow, and have a nasty claw attack. They're immune to cold and radiation. ![]()

![]() Thank you for taking the time to ask me this question. I have agreed to participate in this holoTV show. Given my background as a corporate lawyer, this may seem like an odd choice, and I wanted to take this opportunity to explain my reasoning. First and foremost, let me address the elephant in the room: Why would a corporate lawyer, who typically operates in the realms of boardrooms and legal briefs, choose to step into the limelight of reality television? The answer lies in the unique opportunity to bridge two very distinct worlds and bring about a greater understanding of what it means to be a corporate lawyer. In my daily practice, I navigate complex legal landscapes, negotiate intricate deals, and strive to resolve conflicts in a way that serves the best interests of my clients. This role requires a unique set of skills: analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. These same skills, I believe, can bring a fresh perspective to the reality holoTV format. By participating, I hope to demystify the legal profession, showcasing the verthani side of corporate law that is often overlooked. Another compelling reason for my participation is the platform it provides to address important issues. Reality holoTV reaches a broad and diverse audience, far beyond the confines of our legal community. This visibility presents a rare opportunity to highlight key topics such as corporate ethics, the importance of integrity in business, and the role of law in shaping a fair and just society. By sharing my experiences and insights, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the ethical considerations and social responsibilities that accompany corporate decision-making. Additionally, this venture into reality holoTV is a personal challenge and an opportunity for growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing new experiences is something I encourage in my clients and colleagues, and it is time I practiced what I preach. The dynamic and unpredictable nature of reality holoTV will test my adaptability and resilience, qualities that are just as crucial in the courtroom as they are in life. It is also important to acknowledge the power of storytelling. Legal dramas and corporate thrillers have long captivated audiences, but they often miss the nuanced reality of our profession. Through this reality show, I have the chance to tell our story accurately, with all its challenges and triumphs, and to inspire a new generation of aspiring lawyers who see the potential to make a difference through law. Lastly, there is an element of fun and adventure. Life is too short to be confined to a single path. By participating in this holoshow, I am embracing the unpredictable, the exciting, and the unknown. It is a reminder that while our careers define us, they should not limit us. We can be multifaceted individuals with a range of interests and passions, as is the Society. In conclusion, my decision to join a reality is driven by a desire to give a new face to the legal profession, address important societal issues, challenge myself, and, quite simply, to embrace a new adventure. I hope that through this journey, I can shed light on the invaluable role of corporate lawyers and inspire others to view our profession through a more empathetic and understanding lens. Thank you for your support and for joining me on this exciting new chapter. I look forward to sharing this experience with all of you I'm Malaak Goodman, Corporate Lawyer. You better call me!
