[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 5078418, member: 10447"] In any business interaction, I prefer relationship building (when possible) instead of demands. Even the largest corporation is made up of people. And because of that, treating people with respect to start (instead of demands) would seem to me the way to go. Something posted to their forum (directed at their posters) like: "We have noticed increased use of the "Army Builder" brand name to describe programs not associated with the Army Builder trademark. Army Builder is Lone Wolf's software package that allows you to do [x]. While we appreciate the enthusiasm of fans, we hold the trademarked name "Army Builder" (and have since 2004) and are required to defend it as per the law. For the sake of this trademark, we ask that you please not use the name to describe your own system of [x], as then we might have to get lawyers involved, and really, don't they have enough involvement in things as it is? I am happy to answer any questions about this." Or something similar. You could probably come up with better language than this, but I think you get the point. Better to talk with someone about a concern than dictate to them. (Unless it comes to that after friendly attempts to correct the situation.) [/QUOTE]
