She can?t call any new site Tawanee Stone or any variation, but theoretically on a site she appeared on it could say something to the effect of Hi, I am (insert new name here) I use to be known as Twanee Stone. That?s over and I am on my own now. Come check out my goods. I think what it boils down to is you can?t keep someone from mentioning what their former employment was. For example If I had worked for Coca Cola in the past they couldn?t keep me from using their trademark in a resume, or if I built a biographical web site that included my history they couldn?t keep me from mentioning I worked at Coca Cola in the past.
