The sad part is we all paid some dork in DC $100,000+ per annum to come up with this lame trademark.
They’re doing a bang-up job with .eu and .bz domains, eh?
I never expected this ruling - and am so glad to see it. This means that you own what you buy, and are free to resell it. Copyright holders are free to charge whatever they want, wherever they want, but only for the first sale of an item, and can’t prevent resale.
Amazing! Standing up for property rights of the individual purchaser/owner over the greed of the company that already made what they wanted to charge.
