I think I'm going to trademark Ginger and sue the ginger snap makers, ginger ale makers, ginger beer makers and the plant itself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

She who will not be named has changed the banner on her website to a rotating banner with her full name, the first name, and first name.com all with a perky little TM or R after it. Plus, plus... everywhere her name is mentioned on the site, she's added a TM.
Ahahahaaha. Yeah, because that trick works.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You should put kosher symbols next to yours, Barb. It means just as much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh. Sue Ginger's Ale House in Chicago. Wait, they have fun trivia contests, so maybe not....

Barb, maybe you should ask her what patent attorney she used because you want to do the same thing! (Can you tell I'm researching service marking our company logo..oh what a process oy!)

“Not dead yet!”
Well, I just spoke with a friend who teaches Intellectual property law at a university and she basically told me that at this point, I need to get a trademark attorney. Turns out that earlier this week she did register FirstName.com with the principal register (as well as already having her full name registered as well), so she's worried that the more claims she makes on the name, the more difficult it'll make things for me in the long run. That she *might* be able to even stop me from using MY full name a few years down the line. (Not likely, she stressed, but definitely want to nip this in the bud.)

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I looked it up. She actually did file firstname.com and firstname lastname on Sept. 20. Unfortunately, first name alone is trademarked to a Mexican gold and silver company, a cigar company, and a restaurant. Probably combined with a picture to differentiate between them.
edit: interesting x-post.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Really? And she's a lawyer? God help us all. Remind me to never hire her, and I hope beyond all reason that, if I ever enter the courtroom to litigate a matter, she's opposing counsel. I will fucking wipe the floor with her, half-asleep and with one hand tied behind my back.
The Diva looks fab today, Barb.

My cheerleading uniforms were predominantly black (Yay!) in grade school, and predominantly green (Boo!) in HS. It wasn't a good green either--a weird cross between kelly and forest green.
