LMAO! So all these HV60s and IV20s etc are trade marked? Oh man, toooo funny. You do realize that is like zero delta enforceable, right?
We TM b/c other firms and phrases were trademarked and their enforcement stood when we fought them. Rather than get pushed out of using any terms we decided to TM ourselves. We don't enforce, we just want to use the fricking terms without getting sued.
One suggestion, since you own the trademark, you can't get sued. So why have it all over the post? No offense, but it is really annoying, and I actually enjoy reading your posts, were it not for these tm's all over the place
A TM is only enforceable if it's shown on every public use. If we don't do it, someone else can take it, and then we can't use the terms, and on and on... we live in the most litigious society on the planet at the most litigious time in our history... it is what it is...
