NHL FANS RAY "RAZOR" EMERY uses MY LOGO on his helmet

[sologirlcontent]

I'm not a hockey fan...but one of my comic book fans showed me a video clip this picture of RAY EMERY's helmet...he TOOK THE LOGO FROM MY COMICS..trying to figure out what to do..I'm not too mad, but I'd like to at least get some recognition for the RAZOR logo

[baddog]

I'd be wanting my name, website, whatever listed right alongside anywhere he was using it.

[Seth Manson]

Common sense would say that he didnt take your logo, but the airbrush artist that painted his helmet for him probably did.

Funny thing, that common sense is.

yea I'll ride it...no doubt..trying to figure that out now

[marlboroack]

I E-mailed you about your content.

[Mutt]

well if you contacted him i'm sure he'd hook you up with tickets, jerseys etc but you're not a hockey fan. you could C&D him and ask for a usage fee - if you expect too much though he'll just get the artist to redo the logo in a similar font.

[Jack Sparrow]

1. The font is different
2. You probably havent registered the trademark of the design
3. You are a moron

[Emil]

Just sue - The American way!

[Deputy Chief Command]

try to contact his people about it .. in a friendly manner to inform them they are using your logo and see how they react ...

[Chezter]

Sue him, call the TV.. anything, very cheap advertisement for you

[Jack Sparrow]

It costs money to sue hin. Simon aint got none.
And again, its a different font. He'll lose big time.

[fris]

he will blame it on rogue designer

been a trademark since 93

over 5 million comics in circulation

the only moron is you...you've never done anything good enough to steal, bitch.. go back to sucking your spoiled milk bottle

[PR_Glen]

how can you sue if he's not making money from it?

[fris]

could always contact someone at nhl.com ;)

could generate some news

[JFK]

While it may not be the exact font, there are enough similarites, for him to have a case.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't - there may be other merchandise using the logo - posters, t-shirts, etc. The telecast bio/stats they often use to highlight a player may contain the logo as well.

It really doesn't matter. You must defend your trademark or risk losing control of it. The next guys to use it could claim they weren't copying your logo, but that of this player. I'm not saying you have to be a dick or anything, but get some kind of contract specifying how the logo can be used and what recompense you're getting for that particular usage.

On a side note: If I gave away pimproll content for free wouldn't you attempt to sue me?

[Jman]

Have a nice approach with him, you'd be surprised what can come out of it.

Nice logo btw, I'll have to find one of your mag here in Montreal and check it out.

[sologirlcontent]

Well it's like having a Superman logo or Batman on your shirt or tattoo..which is cool..I'll take some freebies though

this chick wore this RAZOR shirt on VH1 ROCK of LOVE season 1


here's a few other fans..with tats

Unless he has an extensive description of the logo registered he will lose. He wont sue.

off topic a little but Razor was a great Canadian metal band starting in the 80's

[TripleXPrint]

Be flattered and ask him for some signed gear.

[d-null]

those players usually have more than one helmet with completely different design on each

maybe you could let him know about it and offer to design him a new one for a reasonable price?

i hope you aren't comparing giving away a service illegally to someone having a logo on their helmet...

I see cartoons and drawings of copyrwritten material all the time on goalies helmets, people buy the tee shirts because they like the player, not because they have 'Cujo' on their mask...

try opening a burger joint with the golden mcdonalds arches in a different font.. you won't get far.

the "razor" logo is changed slightly , not a different font though, they just chopped off the little trailing thingies.

Brand reach, pretty cool.

Your previous comment implied that there had to be a financial benefit to merit a suit and I was trying to point out that is not the case. Granted, it was a poor example as copyright is very different from trademark.

The only example I can think of where a blatant trademark infringement is permissible is in the case of satire - and even then, it's a single time thing.

Question:
Are you that much of a fucking troll you need to "get my attention" to feel important or special?

You are one hell of a waste of life.

this thread is big man's discussion..that has nothing to do with you or content or adult traffic..but you feel the need to insert your ass into it and just flat out " Be a dick" I wished your "girlfriend" would smack the shit out of your mouth, like the little bitch, that you are.

Sorry Judge I was just a fan of the comic book, but I will remove it today. Plaintiff showed no loss of revenue. Case closed, $0 to the plaintiff.

doubt any of them would give a fuck

after Emery and the Ducks lost the series and are now out in the first round I bet he trashes that mask as a bad luck symbol and gets a brand new paint job for next season anyways

is that Razor Ruddock on his helmet too?

[czarina]

if your logo is watermarked, you may get at least some freebies

[czarina]

oops, meant "copyrighted"
now you now what was on my mind
