Note From The Editor
With the very fine article by Tracy Holotuk as the centerpiece, I am pleased to announce the launch of the MLF Canadian 20 competition. The criteria for inclusion on this list will be the same as that used for the MLF 50, with the exception that firms with 50 attorneys or more will be eligible to compete. Previously, I had indicated that law firms of 100 or more attorneys would be eligible. I have since revised that number to enable more firms to compete. The criteria featured on page 4 is very comprehensive, and while the firms that cover as many aspects of the criteria will have a better positioning in the rankings, those firms that stand out in one or more of the criteria will be recognized accordingly. This listing is being created with a great deal of thought and attention to detail and content. My only advice to entrants is to really think through the criteria, and what you want your firm to convey in those areas you decide to pursue. I look forward to receiving entries from as many firms in Canada as possible. The MLF Canadian 20 will be published in ranked order in the June issue of MLF.
I also wanted to welcome a new member to our Board of Editors. Bill Crooks is the Legal Marketing Executive Search Consultant at Priority Search International in Lake Mary, Florida.

Major Differences In UK, U.S. Copyright Laws
This article highlights how copyright law in the United Kingdom differs from U.S. copyright law, and points out differences that may be crucial to entertainment and media businesses familiar with U.S law that are interested in operating in the United Kingdom or under UK law. The article also briefly addresses contrasts in UK and U.S. trademark law.
The Article 8 Opt In
The Article 8 opt-in election adds an additional layer of complexity to the already labyrinthine rules governing perfection of security interests under the UCC. A lender that is unaware of the nuances created by the opt in (may find its security interest vulnerable to being primed by another party that has taken steps to perfect in a superior manner under the circumstances.
Strategy vs. Tactics: Two Sides of a Difficult Coin
With each successive large-scale cyber attack, it is slowly becoming clear that ransomware attacks are targeting the critical infrastructure of the most powerful country on the planet.

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
