luke314pi Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So if I put a period after my username, is that breaking the law? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 According to that article, this guy will go after anyone using his trademarked pi symbol, even in the absence of using a period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Someone should trademark the word trademark. This has to be THE dumbest thing ever. TT. TT. TT. Sue me bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowlar Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm trademarking 0. With that done, karamozov80 and I now own all computing devices; please shut them down until you've paid up. I only accept cash and minimates as payment. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) So if I put a period after my username, is that breaking the law? And now I got the topic title. I was thinking that Luke is a lawyer. LOL A similar (dumb) case is going on with FIFA and the world cup. They've registered the word PAGODE because it's the official font name of the event. BUT it's also a variant of samba, a popular brazilian musical style. And no one can use the word pagode this entire year due to be a high renown brand, even being the band's name like Companhia do Pagode (translated: Pagode's Company). I think I'll create a Pagode of Pi t-shirt now. Edited June 5, 2014 by bzorio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Registering pi is irrational . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just got a cease and desist letter asking me to remove Luke's username. (not really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
