Unlikely, but possible. true. if that turns out to be the case, i have no problem with that. Trademark Law, as best i understand it, *requires* that i be "reasonable"... so... yes, thank you for picking up on that, chris. > Also, I will point out that there are ways for Ron to feck around with you > -- calling it a "PCMCIA computer card", for example. true... however Trademark Law *is* sufficiently flexible to recognise these kinds of tricks. it's... time-consuming to go through the process of *proving* that such... underhanded tricks have been "played"... but if there is a reasonable threat to life (as well as the reputation of a Certification Mark) as caused *by* someone trying to weasle their way out of respecting Copyright Law.... *and* it can be demonstrated that - through messages *right here on this list* that they have indeed tried to copy a concept and are intending to bring it into disrepute in the process.... you get where that's going, i'm sure. > Don't make enemies where you don't have to, Luke. I'm just sayin'. i am not permitted to think in those terms, chris. i am *REQUIRED* to protect the EOMA68 Certification Mark. friends or enemies does not come into the decision-making process, and could actually be viewed as VIOLATING the obliigations of Trademark Law by not being "Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory" (FRAND). treating someone as a "friend"... and giving them *special privileges*... that could *definitely* be considered to be a violation of the obligations of a Copyright Holder of a Certification Mark. sorry... but that's just how it is. i can't mess about here. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
