With Appreciation

The Katonah Village Improvement Society would like to extend a sincere "thank you" to the Manhattan based legal firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP for providing us with the excellent counsel, on a pro bono basis, which has led to the positive resolution of our trademark dispute with the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Corporation. Our legal team was led by Andrew H. Seiden, and included Michael Brown, Gabriel Hertzberg, Turner P. Smith and Eric J. Stenshoel. We could have never suceeded in this effort with out your generous and intelligent help.

Katonah Resident and partner at the Stamford, CT law firm of Ohlandt, Greeley, Ruggiero & Perlle, LLP, Terrence J. McAllister, Esq. was the "eagle eye" who spotted the four applications for a registered trademark on the name "Katonah", and brought it to our attention. Mr. McAllister also filed the original oppositions with the Patent and Trademark Office on behalf of KVIS, on a pro bono basis. We are most grateful.

We'd also like to thank Alan D. Barson, Esq of Manhattan for introducing us to Andrew Seiden and the Curtis Mallet-Prevost team, and for his wisdom and guidance, particularly in the early stages of the action.
