Looks like a service mark. not my area of expertise, but there are some slight distinctions. Kenco's post seems slightly misleading too me. IMHO.IMHO.



Trademark, service mark... which do I need?
The trademark, service mark distinction is really quite small. Trademarks and service marks are essentially the same thing. However, a trademark promotes goods or products, while a service mark promotes services. Some examples of services include food services, transportation services and insurance services.

Consider the following example: The name of a restaurant, such as "Burger Safari," fits nicely into the service mark category since it describes a food services provider. The name of a particular menu item, for example "Elephant Burger," fits into the trademark category since it describes a particular product.

newmedman, this application is actually a brilliant move by THC Scientific, this creates a few rather big problems for RFMK, what a dumb oversight by RFMK, really dumb!!!!

Ha ha.... That is hilarious... THC Sci must have still been a little angry about what transpired earlier this year when they had to deny any knowledge of RFMK partnering with them....

August 15 was only a couple of weeks ago... I wonder when the cease and desist order will come ?

Thank goodness they will have several other brands to choose names for, since all the brand marketing up until this point has been for someone else.....

Way to go big 3.......

Hopefully the next round will get trademarked before it is marketed.

I'm still laughing, sorry all. I'm sure it was just a minor oversight....

Go RFMK...

Do some DD on this, all RFMK has to do is prove they used the name in commerce first, shouldn't be hard... and once they prove that THC Scientific tried taking the name in a malicious way, THC Scientific can be forced to pay all attorney fees.... LMFAO
