It has been brought to our attention that your business, Johnny Look Entertainments, has been using the trademark EDGE in association with the marketing or distribution of your products & services. It is possible that you were unaware of th is conflict, so we believe that it is in our mutual interest to bring this matter to your attention.
EDGE is a registered trademark (U.S. Reg. No. 78807479) of our business, EDGE games (copy enclosed).
Our federal registration of this trademark provides us with certain proprietary rights. This includes the right to restrict the use of the trademark, or a confusingly similar trademark, in association with confusingly similar products or services.
It is important that we exercise our right to protect our trademark. It serves as an important and distinctive representation of the origin of our products as well as the goodwill of our company.
State and federal law supports our position that confusingly similar trademarks may cause confusion among customers. This confusion may cause substantial harm to the trademark by facilitating the loss of its' effectiveness in establishing a distinct association between it, our products & services, and our company's goodwill.
Due to these concerns, and because unauthorized use of our federally registered trademark amounts to an infringement of our trademark rights, we respectively request that you cease & desist in any further use of EDGE in association with the marketing, sale, distribution, or identification of your products, or services.
Please respond by letter: indicating your intention to cease & desist the use of the trademark EDGE, or any confusingly similar trademark, within ten (10) calendar days.
We hope that this issue may be resolved this way so we can avoid any further legal remedies as provided by state law and the U.S. Trademark Act.
Looks interesting Johnny, I wondered if there'd be a compo like this coming up from somewhere. Nice to see it's happened, I look forward to the entries.
(Also sorry, had to edit the swears out, for the sake of profanity firewalls and the whole 'family site' thing. Any probs, drop me a PM.)
It's kinda hard to explain, from a kliker's perspective the principles are pretty much the same, the only thing that changes is the interface (which is text based instead of graphic based) and the fact that there is one extra dimension, and that brings some new stuff like meshes, textures and the likes.
