Legal talk again.....
If you guys are serious about doing a foundation... then you
also must seriously start to entertain the neccessity for a name
change.
I have looked up Lazarus on the US Trademarks system, it is already
registered.
tess2.uspto.gov
Register with this name, and chances of losing any property you own
because somebody "gunna sue your a#se" are pretty high. Doesn't matter
really what country you live in... they can come after you.... trust me....
Sorry.....
For Lazarus to go legal, it needs a new name, registrable as a
trademark... no way around it... I have spent a lot of money being
lectured about how important this is by my lawyer in the past.....
here are just one of the results of my search...
these guys could do a lot of damage..... they just need to find a
student information app that compiles under Lazarus/fpc and you're blown
out of the water. Pardon my strong language.... but this message needs
to be conveyed....
