NPNY: NPG Lawsuit

2006-07-07 Thread Derek

I am not a lawyer, but reading lawsuit at:
http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91171672pty=OPPeno=1

The company that is trying to get the Sole Trademark for NPG Music Club
may not win. There argument is flawed. They argue that they own the
trademark for Nature since 1978, and Paisley Park didn't start the NPG
Music Club till 2003,  but there publishing company  Nature
Publishing Group didn't start doing business till 1999. Paisley Park owns
trademarks to NPG and New Power Generation since as early as 1991 and have
been in business a lot longer under NPG Records.

But then again I ain't a lawyer, I decided I liked fixing computers more 
so what do I know?!?! LOL  -Derek

 I've walked past the NPG office before in New York and smiled when I've
 paused to look at the NPG logo circle on the front window. Now I need to
 smash it. - just kidding.

 Also - I noticed today that the NPGMC site took down the logo that was
 in black on their homepage. This is a very weird deal going on.

about 10 years ago when the rapper Warren G was battling Garth Brooks over
the use of a capital G as a brand. who would confuse the 2

recognition. That is a case of brand recognition. Think a Nike Swoosh on a 
pair of walking shoes that are not made by Nike. -Derek

dropped this
past June, because their complaint was groundless. As is this one.

No one in their right mind would confuse NPG Nature -- one of the leading
scientific journals in the world -- with what NPGMC publishes/sells.

Foundation with at Pro-Wrestling company in a billion years :-D -Derek
