and now for
RENT FOR THE GAMES - FRAUDULENT TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS
there is no trademark held for our company name,
they dont even have a trademark for their own name "rentFORthegames.com"
which i can prove right here, in a link to canadian goverment trademarks
http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/tr...ch.do?lang=eng
enter in : rent for the games
it clearly states - applcation - NOT REGISTERED
status - OPPOSED
============================== ================
please read a more full version - about trademark law claims and his bulshit
=============================
asking for proof of registered trademark
seems simple enough, right?
thats what we did 3/4 years ago and all we got was
threating email back, and this was for only using
rent for the games as only part of a sentance?
such as on a descritive page or customers listing -
example - "if you are looking to rent for the games in 2010 then...."
as time went on and they sent no proof, only threats
we then started to look into this
and informed oursleves of trademarks and there laws
we found out he only had an "applacation" for a trademark
"i provived you link above"
which carries about as much weight as an applacation for a liquor licence,
"its only an applcation at that point" and carries no weight what so ever.
now the applacation is in dispute, from pissing other people off of bogus claims.
as i will now demonstrate how bogus this is
"even if the a trademark applcation is accepted"
1) each trademark accepted is only for that country.
2) trademarks are designed to only stop another company starting a busines
with the "same name, in the same county"
an example of #2:
Nike owns the trademark to Foot Locker, which is a well known large chain.
that trademark doesnt stop other companies from using the words "foot
locker" on thier site or in their advertising but it does stop them from
opeing a company or implying that it is named Foot Locker, in the country
where that the tademark is held.
for that reason, smart corporations make unique names for their companies
now, like "panasonic, sony, ikea" the trademark name is not found any where
else before these companies where formed and therefore the words themselves
become protected. making easy to prove the connection in a court of law "for
that county" where they hold such a trademark.
- panasonic owns tademarks for "panasonic" in every country they operate.
futher more, rentFORthegames applcation has a high chance of being rejected.
1) it is being apposed
2) it is vary rare that trademarks are even given to commonly used word or
phases.
this is why no one owns the name trademark for "houses for rent" etc...
as it is to stop the bullshit and lies that seem to be happening here.
as most people are not well informed of trademark laws.
his tatics:
he is trying to create the illusion, that no one else is interested in using
that common phase, by theating people with unfounded lawsuits, which may
create a scarcity of a commonly used phase in the first place and open the
door for such a trademark to be accepted.
But as i point out above, it still means little in the content he is implying.
and he doesnt even own the trademark for any country at this point!
common sense, makes sense! So dont fall for this guys bullshit.
the ironic part of all this is
i may have to sue him to stop the fraudulent claims
============================
History teaches us to over and over again to watch out for the controlers
who use fear and intimidation, to manipulate, for it is them that you should be weary of....
thank you
