[QUOTE="lonewolfdevel, post: 5079207, member: 87800"] I started playing miniatures games in the early 90s and the term was not used in any environment I participated in. I gamed with multiple groups across the US in the mid-90s and don't remember encountering the term. I also participated on a number of online forums focused on miniatures games and I think I saw the term used once. Our IP attorney was an avid wargamer from back in the 80s and he definitely believed the term was valid to pursue as a trademark. In past conversations, he has said that he doesn't remember hearing the term used, and we're on opposite ends of the US. Now, I'm not saying that the term wasn't used anywhere. I'm simply saying that it was not used widely enough to make the radar of myself, our IP attorney, or the USPTO examiner charged with vetting the mark. So what I said was accurate, to the best of my knowledge. In all the circles I interacted with, the most common terms were "creating a list" or "making a list", sometimes with the word "army" inserted. [/QUOTE]
