Book Contest

1. We'll send a free book to the first person who gets a business with at least 10 employees to license the fair employment mark.

2. We'll send a free book to the person who gets the largest number of employees covered by the license in the next month.

3. We'll send a free book to anyone who gets a business with more than 100 employees to license the mark.

To enter the contest 1) get a business/employer to license the mark on line at www.fairemploymentmark.org, 2) send an email to ian.ayres@yale.edu with the subject line "free books" and tell me the names of the business or businesses that you got to license the mark as well as your mailing address. If the business has a webpage, please send a link for that as well.

I will check to see that the businesses did in fact license at our site.

The licensing agreement can provide protection for non-US employees. So this is a contest in which anyone in the world can participate.

I talk a bit more about whether it is appropriate to announce a contest like this on a blog here. But I would appreciate your comments on both the substance of the mark as well as on the contest idea. It's Gay Pride Month -- and helping to get more employees covered with legal remedies against discrimination is something concrete just about anyone can do to help.
