[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5079336, member: 15538"] I'm waiting to hear a counter-argument I disagree with. :) But your name is not John R. Troy Donkey Bong, and I am not selling donkey bongs. I can very easily trademark such a name, just as I could trademark John Smith Easy Grill or somesuch. Now you would be welcome to claim I am implying affiliation with you, and that this somehow matters, or that I'm denigrating you in some way, but that would be a separate issue. [i]I could do it[/i]. There are legal challenges that could be raised. They are, however, much weaker than the case against Army Builder. John R Troy Donkey Bong is a nonsense phrase. So what do you say about the guys who tried to trademark acai? Why? It's nothing I would ever considering trademarking. It's a bad name. None of which is relevant to naming your product for what it does, then trademarking so other people cannot describe similar products in the same succinct fashion. As far as I know, "army list calculator" is the only synonym that has any traction as a useful alternative. What happens when someone trademarks Army List Calculator? Then where are we? [/QUOTE]
