Re: <nettime> Aveda - Trademark on "Indigenous" |
I am not a lawyer (IANAL), not yet anyways - but from my somewhat informed view this could easily go either way in a US court, it really depends on what they do with it. Personally, I think it could easily be called a "generic" term, something that can't be covered by a trademark. Politically they will get torn up over it. If anyone is interested in challenging Aveda's trademark on "indigenous" here is the relevant law which explains the why and how trademarks can be revoked in the US: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/1064.html -jett (http://gogobot.blogspot.com) >-----Original Message----- >From: ------x----- >Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 1:21 AM >Subject: Aveda - Trademark on "Indigenous" >To: -----x------ > >Good morning colleagues, > ><...> <...> _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month. http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
