»doc flabby Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) we should be untouchable by those guys as this subspace has been aound a lot longer then their trademark.Interestingly they've submitted a trademark for the word "subspace" rather than a logo. If you read all the past applications they are all for logos and not the word "subspace" As subspace is already in use as a word to describe a online 2d spaceship game.....this is shouldnt have been granted in the first place. Whilst you can trademark a normal word like "apple" the rules are more complex it has to refer to a specific product. Unfortunatly if there is any arguement over the use of the name it will be case of more money wins (sadly money wins legal battles like these, fortunatlythis is only a small company) and we don't have any I would also add as the trademark is only registered in the USA, we would be free to use it in europe (as far as i understand IANAL) Our best defence i would suggest is to simply suggest in responce to any legal notices to comply but also explain you will alienate a large number of potential customers and we will make various media outlets aware of your aggressive and potentially unlawful actions (ie you are picking on a group that cannot afford to fight back) OR maybe contacting http://www.eff.org might be an option.. I hope that both groups can co-excist peacefully an none of this bs i required... Edited March 3, 2009 by doc flabby
