Imagine celebrating a victory by slicing open a bottle of champagne with a sword. This might sound dramatic, but it’s exactly how the tradition of sabrage, or sabering a champagne bottle, got started! Originating in the early 19th century, sabrage was popularised by Napoleon Bonaparte’s light cavalry, the Hussars, who would open champagne with their sabers in celebration. Legend has it that Madame Clicquot, the famous "Widow Clicquot" who helped pioneer champagne as we know it, often entertained Napoleon’s officers at her vineyard. As a farewell gesture, the soldiers would gallop off with a bottle of her champagne and saber it open on horseback, impressing both the hostess and any onlookers. Thus, the art of sabering became a tradition, symbolising elegance. But there’s a science to it, too. A champagne bottle holds a pressure of about 90 psi, which is three times the pressure of a car tire. By sliding the saber along the bottle’s seam, right to the lip where the cork and glass meet, the impact causes a clean break. Done with perfection, the cork and glass collar fly off together, making for an impressive scene. For those skilled in the art, there’s little risk of broken glass entering the bottle, but the first pour is always checked to ensure it’s shard-free. Today, sabrage remains a ceremonial act at high-end events and is a mark of skill for sommeliers worldwide. In fact, the Guinness World Record for the most champagne bottles sabered in a minute stands at a mindblowing 68 bottles! So, the next time you witness a sabrage, remember this tradition and the mix of history, legend, and science that goes into that perfectly opened bottle. #quiz #catalyst #champagne #saber #tradition #france

?? Happy National Cognac Day! ?? Did you know that Cognac, the luxurious and storied spirit, has an intricate relationship with intellectual property? Today, we raise a glass to celebrate not only the rich history of Cognac but also the fascinating world of patents and trademarks that protect its legacy. ?? Patents and Cognac: While the traditional methods of producing Cognac are time-honored and closely guarded, innovations in distillation and aging techniques can be patented. These patents ensure that new methods and improvements in the Cognac-making process are protected, fostering continued innovation in this centuries-old craft. ??? Trademarks and Cognac: The name "Cognac" itself is a protected geographical indication (GI). Only brandy produced in the Cognac region of France, adhering to strict production standards, can be labeled as Cognac. This protection extends to various trademarks associated with renowned Cognac houses, ensuring that the heritage and quality of this exquisite spirit are maintained. At Veterans Intellectual Property, we understand the importance of protecting innovations and upholding traditions.

I had an amazing time at the SIOR Global Spring Conference last week in Amelia Island, FL listening and learning from the brightest individuals in our business. The overall sentiment regarding the US Industrial Market(s) is that while things are still "good", they certainly are not "great" as they were in recent years past. The basis of these thoughts derives from current inflation trends, interest rate markets, the inability to make many investment deals pencil, as well as the steep rise in Vacancy Rates across the country (Delivery of many large speculative projects that remain vacant, as well as excess space on the market for Sublease) While predictions for the remainder of 2024 were not stellar, the outlook was hopeful looking in to 2025 where some believe we will see our 1st interest rate decrease since the Fed began these increases March 2022 (we shall see about that!), which would certainly assist Investors in pursuing deals, as well as Tenants looking to take on additional space, and in many cases additional debt, to grow their businesses. The consensus among the group was that there will be plenty of opportunity for SIORs to create value for themselves and for their clients by being fully immersed in their market via a Street Broker approach and by understanding how these outside factors will affect our business and our clients' businesses for years to come.
