this is one of the more confused posts I have seen!
You seem to be saying that Pep Boys (They pep boys) have a copyright on the word “Future” and therefore you can’t use it?
I doubt it.
Checked the web site mentioned, and it’s even more confusing!
I am quite serious when I say this: these are the ramblings of a schizophrenic.
Bill–
This is the second time that this person has posted a semi-literate rant on this topic. Few people were interested in this topic the last time that it was posted, and I suspect that fewer will be interested this time.
For the OP, it might be worthwhile to take a course in Intellectual Properties, covering the topics of copyrights, trademarks and patents. It would give the OP much more insight into this topic.
Since he claims to be a security officer at a school, that is very reassuring. Not.
Actually, it would more likely be a trademark not a copyright. It then comes down to similiar products infringing on a trademark. The intent is to protect the originator’s branding so consumers are not confused. A soda manfufacturer could use the name “Future” for a type of soda and no court would disallow that because it cannot be confused with a tire.
I never cease to be amazed at the poor communication skills exhibited by some posters. Not being able to put together a single paragraph of intelligible text speaks volumes…
Didn’t Fox News sue Al Franken for using the phrase “fair and balanced” in his book title? Fox News lost.
I just checked out this wacko’s web site and you are right, NYBo. This guy is off his rocker!
I had a set of Pep Boys Futura 2000 tires that lasted 70,000 miles, as they were advertised. I drove them clear down to where the steel belts were showing, but I did make them last 70,000 miles! I don’t go to Pep Boys for tires anymore. I don’t drive my tires down to the nub anymore either!
And you think our opinions will hold weight in a court of law? I’m highly flattered!
This is a lawyer question. Look for a lawyer.
It must be cold up there in Bismark. Real cold.
I am quite serious when I say this: these are the ramblings of a schizophrenic.
Is this from experience???
Just kidding…
The guy sounds completely WACO to me.
For the OP, it might be worthwhile to take a course in english, and grammar and spelling…
I just visited the website. Wow.
Future Island? Oh well, I guess everyone has a right to dream!
HUH?? What’s he trying to say? Not a very good reflection of his school district.
For clarification of the likely reason, refer to NYBo’s post. I am beginning to think that NYBo is correct.
Aluminum foil hats, anyone?
I agree, NYBo “hit the nail on the head” on this one.
But I love the “Future Island” model. Right out of a Buck Rogers comic.
I think this way at least the website is having some visitors!
