Trademark Violation -- Cease and Desist
http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc66.htm
Mr. Daniel D. Stuhlman writes a fascinating article -- there is only a couple problems. Ok more than a few problems. Lots of problems.
He is not a lawyer and doesn't know what he is talking about. He is wrong and I believe a liar. I never spoke or email him. Never heard of him.
He writes:
- I received one of those 'nasty' letters on Oct. 22, 2003 via e-mail demanding me to stop violating a trademark
- In June 2002 the Association of Jewish Libraries held its annual convention in Denver. They got permission to use a catchy name playing on the moniker "mile high" associated with the city.
Here is what he left out - I had an agreement with Association of Jewish Libraries that after the convention they would no longer use my trade mark and business name. They agreed. Simple enough.
What Daniel D. Stuhlman doesn't understand is agreements. Stuhlman is not a lawyer.
Before you listen to people like Daniel D. Stuhlman - talk to someone that knows something before you get yourself in trouble.

My comments were reviewed by a lawyer who specializes in trademark law and we got a second opinion from a professor at a leading law school and a rav.
I'm not a lawyer, but I do understand the law and how to do research. It is totally bizarre that someone would care 7 years after my column appeared and 8 years after the 2002 convention. If I wrote about visiting the IBM or Xerox buildings those companies would never complain.
Please read my article http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc66.htm. Never does the article mention or use any trademarks or names without permission.
Notice that I consulted United States Code Title 17 which covers copyright. I do teach about copyright law in my graduate school classes.
I just started a series of articles on copyright and intellectual property. Visit my blog http://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-is-copyright-part-1.html
