Yes it is a answer.  You may not like it, but that is your problem.

We all know that one can defend non-registered trademarks, I already acknowledged that three days ago.

But to be defendable, it has to be in active use - that's why I pointed you to the Wikipedia article, which says "five years". I'm all interested in more precise documentation, but your above link is useless in this context.

No, I didn't miss it. I just don't care.
If you don't care, why do you make claims about AInc/CUSA being able to defend it? To determine if they are able to defend it, you need to know the mark's last use in commerce.

So, once again: If it's not registered and you don't know when it was last used commercially, on what grounds do you claim that anybody owns enforcable rights regarding this mark?

So why are you stuck on this subject then?

Why would I trust Wiki for a legal opinion?

Then do as you wish, I don't have a pony in that race.   That would be up to C=USA and it's legal department to deal with and I'm pretty confident C=USA won't give an inch with out a court battle.  You want to risk that, fine by me, Wal-Mart has tons of popcorn on the shelves.

Because I actually care about the topic? You're the one who doesn't ("I don't care").

You mean the same "legal department" who told Barry that the checkmark and the letter "A" are registered trademarks? I'd love to see this "legal department" perform in a "court battle".

If we REALLY think about it, the checkmark is owned by the Amiga community :)

Oh yes, tremble before big bad Barry! He'll destroy us, man, like Stone Cold Steve Austin in a court of law-wrestling defending that unregistered trademark!

Wal-Mart popcorn = what Barry can afford after spending $30 mil advertising and God knows how much development/manufacturing funds on something like twelve people bought.

(P.S. Quick, someone make a series of checkmark shirts on Cafepress and then register the trademark based on that.)

Why would we trust someone who posts pictures of a factory in Germany?

Barry's "Legal advice" is probably some divorce lawyer who hangs out at the same golf club as he does.

Well, contrary to popular belief we actually DO have some factories left here. ;-)

I hope it's a better "legal team" than the ones who cut & pasted a letter from Apple's site to threaten OSNews with.

So the trademarks are now officially owned by Nicholas then? This is excellent news! Thank goodness for that, someone we can actually trust for once.
