______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 10:20am - boobtoucher ""] Rev, We actually have about 2 or 3 decent names we're thinking of...we wouldn't post them anywhere just in case people steal'em but we really really like our name now so its gonna suck. And we're all stubborn assholes so won't be able to agree on anything. P.S. Fuck all the other shows tonight, everybody's gotta come to exit 23 for the network and cannae!!! |

_______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 10:27am - the_reverend ""] I'm heading to providence or I would, but who's the network? has that got something to do with billie joe? |
______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 10:55am - boobtoucher ""] Yea, the network is supposedly some side project of green day. it's all secretive who the members are but its definitely billy joe singing. |
_______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 12:44pm - the_reverend ""] ok... so SUE THE FUCKING PANTS OFF THEM. is it just me or... like you guys forget that some knob band from the 70's sued nirvana cause they had the name first. I believe they got a few 100K for it. SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE but afterwards give generously to your local website. |
______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 12:50pm - RustedAngel ""] eh who cares, keep the name... there are so many band names taken now its almost impossible to come up with anything that hasn't been used. if its' just a side project, they aren't big, who gives a fuck. ie. Disgorge (MEX) Disgorge (USA) Disgorge (EUR) and they all play death metal. hahah. as long as YOUR logo is recognizable and original it won't matter! |
______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 1:01pm - the_reverend ""] moral: don't be pussies, keep the good name, fuck them and if they try to sue or c/d you, give them a suit or file a c/d against them. though, if you feel in the end that your band name has been ruined, you can sue them. |
_____________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 4:34pm - boobtoucher ""] But we dont have the name trademarked or anything. I emailed Adeline Records but have received no response. I'd love to sue the shit out of them and start a record label cuz labels suck so much cock. |
_____________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 4:38pm - RustedAngel ""] Call Washington, DC: (703)308-HELP and ask for the book "BASIC FACTS ABOUT REGISTERING A TRADEMARK" Trademark covers a product. Servicemark covers a service. As a musical act, we are a service. If ALL you do is make CDs and tapes, but never play live, maybe your name only applies to a product. But for most of us, it's a service first, then a product second. It's all the same form, just a technicality. You'll still use the ® [little (R) in a circle] when you are registered. On that note, you can start using "TM" or "SM" after your name now. It means you have intent to register, or are claiming legal ownership of that name. You can use the ® *after* and only after the whole registration is complete. Each registration class costs $245. If you want to register a Servicemark, and a trademark, that's $490. That's the *complete* way to do it. But when I called the Patent & Trademark office help line, they said if you register your servicemark, that's plenty of protection for now. (Until you start selling loads of T-shirts, hats, action figures...) You may get a form that says it's only a $200 fee, but those are old forms. It's $245. |
_______________________________________ [Oct 24,2003 4:41pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] And the $245 is non-refundable and they keep it even if the name you try to register is already taken. That's the really shitty part of trying to do this. |

______________________________________ [Oct 25,2003 2:59pm - the_reverend ""] nope, that's how steak is done. |
