Re: [DML] DMOCO.com - being squashed by the man?

I have done this, and as I have said so many times on
this list (so much so that I am even sick of hearing
it), you can CLAIM anything you want..  Only a judge
can decide.  So, as Mike said before, unless someone
challenges DMCH in court over ownership of the
trademark they own it simply because they claim they
do (and filled out the paperwork/paid the fees with
the USPTO).

... and the more time that passes, the better chance
DMCH has of winning such a case in court.  The best
shot someone has at "winning" a lawsuit over ownership
would be to prove they were using the logo for a BONA
FIDE BUSINESS PURPOSE prior to DMCH registering it. 
There are only a small handful of people who fall in
to that category, and they all need the cooperation of
DMCH for their livelihood.  I doubt they would ever
sue especially because they seem to be able to use the
logo now.

Lawyer?  She??  Is she cute?  Hook me up!  :)
