[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8967761, member: 7023840"] Great! Then why don't you apply the sources you used to the actual issue. Go ahead and use the W&L Law Review article by Kenneth Port (unfortunately deceased). Explain how the finding there regarding the Lanham Act and litigation apply to what we are talking about. Otherwise, I'm a little baffled as to what point you're making ... 'cuz it seems an awful lot like ... I don't know? You tell me! I have to admit, this is the first time I've seen someone versed in IP say that a random Chinese company that registered a well-known mark and admittedly didn't use it in commerce is a problem for other companies. But I love to learn. Or we can wait for April ... I mean, the schedule is on TESS. You looked, right? [SPOILER] For those who are curious, you can look all this up on TESS. Lu Guoping (the person in China who registered the mark). The information about the registration- which shows, IMO, that is has serious issues. And that WoTC stated the cancellation on 2/22 and an answer is due on 4/4. WoTC is represented by Davis Wright Tremaine (of course). You can even see the filing when they come in- there just isn't much to see yet. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
