Company tries to trademark Goth.
Oct. 2nd, 2003 07:12 pmAs one of the people behind a website with the very prominent use of the
word "Goth" in it's title and domain PreZ has been keeping
an eye out on the developments behind the trademarking of the word "Goth"
which he was made aware of some months ago (Isotank/Dancing Ferret's
magazine did an article about it too). At the time no attorney of record was
assigned yet for him to voice his concerns and complaints to, now there has.
Bobby Weiner Enterprises (http://www.bobbieweiner.com/) wants to trademark
the word goth for their Bloody Mary Goth
(http://dearbloodymary.com/goth/index.html) line of jewelry and related
products.
This could have repercussions to anybody trying to market things as 'goth
jewelry', of which there are plenty of makers and purveyors on this
newsgroup, hence my reason for bringing this to your attention.
