As you are well aware, Sanswire and the Stratellite are intended to be used worldwide. The ones that expired were just here in the United States. It would be very expensive and time consuming to apply in each and every country they intend to do business in. Magic Money is also under the International Mark. That is where the Madrid Protocol comes in:
What is the MADRID Protocol?
The MADRID System for the International Registration of Marks provides a means to simultaneously seek protection for a trademark in a large number of countries. It is simple and time- and cost-effective.
MADRID Agreement
Formally called the MADRID Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, it has, since April 14, 1891, allowed nationals of the countries who are members of the Agreement to protect their trademarks, whether for goods or for services, in any or all of the other member countries. This is done by means of a single international application that is filed in one place, in one language (French), with a minimum of formalities, with one fee and paid in a single currency. This results in only one registration, with one number and one renewal date. http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?Message_id=6009741&txt2find=madrid
I am sure you would agree this is the way to go as far as registering trademarks. If Globetel management wants those names, rest assured they have things in order...rock
