Give me this Trayvon sneakers ..No bang bang your dead my sneakers now
Why does it matter?
Let the mom do it. Not only does it expose this tacky move, but it can start a little battle with all the groups trying to exploit his death. Wait until she goes after the Panthers or other groups for royalties.
My thoughts too. She can use whatever mark she wants, registered or not, as long as it doesn’t interfere with or dilute somebody else’s mark.
I don’t really care enough about the trademarking issue.
Let Momma make a dime off the kids name, if that is what she wants.
I could care less.
What I would like to see is a Federal case brought against the mother Truckers that have offered a dead or alive reward for the killing of Zimmerman.
These people should be arrested.
I know that’s dreaming, Holder & Obama probably put up the money for the reward.
It can take nine months for a mark to go through the registration process.
Why?
Becuase allowing the award of such a mark would be immoral.
Uncool.
Why?
...and people with no interest whatsoever in this challenging this transaction is somehow more moral? It is her karma, let her deal with it.
A lib group called “ THE WOMEN’S TRIAL GROUP” will be the ones to profit from these marks.
Well at least the poor kid won’t have to try and find a job with a stupid name like Trayvon
How does the mother intend to use these trademarks? If it is to prevent others from profiting from her son’s name, I am very much in favor of it. If she wishes herself to profit from it, then she will be seen as exploiting her own son.
Or it's immoral for people with ideas different than yours (and probably mine) to make money from trademarked items?
Or it's immoral for anyone to make money from trademarks related to people involved in the use or sale of illegal drugs? Elvis Presley took prescription drugs, amphetamines and barbiturates, prescribed by "Dr. Nick" for other members of the TCB group (which is illegal). Bob Marley certainly promoted the use of marijuana as a holy herb of Rastafarianism. Is there a place we can see about getting Presley and Marley trademarks revoked?
+1
All I care about here is a good investigation and correct decision based on actual facts.
I never thought that angle out Laz...thank you. Is that why she did this?
