Good evening, children! Tonight’s word is `Trademark infringement`:
“Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attaching to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees (provided that such authorization was within the scope of the license). Infringement may occur when one party, the “infringer”, uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. An owner of a trademark may commence legal proceedings against a party which infringes its registration.“

For example:
“Orgonite™ is a trademark belonging to Karl Welz, the inventor of orgonite, and is used on littlemountainsmudge.com for educational purposes.“
The guy has had his lawyers send emails to vendors using the word `Orgonite`. One guy, who knows him personally, finds him to be `nice`, which is a generic word to describe something positive and bordering on `bad`, really.
Anyway, if he uses that word for business, then that is his right. If he just uses it to gain notoriety and such, he is just another person out to put his name among those who don’t give a hoot. The pursuit towards legality is such a waste of precious resources: Nay, it costs money!
I wonder if I could use the word ORGONITE as a tag here at WordPress.com. What’s he going to do? Make a big deal with a poor person and a bored blogger? Anyone who goes that far has only business on his mind – no moral character and out for the money.
