All of this discussion is "all well and good" but until someone actually challenges DMCH in court they will "get away" with claiming ownership. In fact that is exactly the strategy. Unless we can get an expert opinion from a trademark lawyer I don't see what more can be added of substance to this thread. This is way more than what this forum can deal with, it is an esoteric legal issue now. The best advice is if you want to avoid a lengthy and costly legal battle it is best to leave it alone. This is where the lawyers earn the "big bucks". David Teitelbaum vin 10757 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "ryanpwright" <dmcnews_list@xxxx> wrote: > > > OK, I've got to post my thoughts.
