[DMCForum] Re: Trademark

[James Espey <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have answered many times why we feel we have ownership of the DMC logo 
trademark. We continue to disagree, as friends, so I am not sure why you 
continue to ask the question. If you don't agree with the answer, simply 
asking it repeatedly is not likely to change the answer you receive. :-)

Nevertheless, I will point out something incorrect in your second 
paragraph below. The Lanham Act clearly states that when a trademark's 
use has been discontinued, and that discontinuation may be inferred from 
three consecutive years of non-use, it becomes abandoned. An abandoned 
mark is not irrevocably in the public domain, but may instead be 
re-registered by any party which has re-established exclusive and active 
use.
