Unofficial Sythe IRC

[MKarn]

Serious question.

Who bitched?

Also, unless you've trademarked the word Sythe, you have no claim to the name.

Nothing wrong with a Skype chat, but it's tough for new members to get in on it, idk.

It is trademarked, idiot. It doesn't need to be registered with some greasy bureaucrat. Learn to law.

The term "common law" indicates that the trademark rights that are developed through use are not governed by statute. Instead, common law trademark rights have been developed under a judicially created scheme of rights governed by state law. Federal registration, a system created by federal statute, is not required to establish common law rights in a mark, nor is it required to begin use of a mark. However, federal registration, if available, is almost always recommended and gives a trademark owner substantial additional rights not available under common law.

= you don't have to register it for it to be legally binding

Fascinating thread.

Read the whole thread.

Best part.

Seriously? We've had an official IRC twice before. You should ask some of the oldfags around here what happened. It certainly didn't boost traffic and lead to thousands of additional active members. In fact it was exceedingly similar to the current state of affairs: I think the most people ever in a Sythe.org IRC was about 50, and just as it has in its current incarnation, it lead to a group of people who think the rules don't apply to them, wreaking havoc with the rest of the community.

Those were the days.

Common law trademark.

And what a ridiculous statement. If you had been operating a business for 10 years and I told you that you have no right to your business name and brand, I think you would rightly tell me that your right arises from the fact of having used it for 10 years.

Further, the fact that you would use the word 'Sythe' to convey to a customer an association with this site is itself fraudulent, unless we had given you permission to use the brand; It's the same as selling a fake Rolex.

That's all good and dandy, but the fact that it's not registered means it doesn't grant you exclusive rights to the name. I'm not doubting you're claim to the name, I'm denying the exclusivity of it.

= you don't have to register it for it to be legally binding

Thank you for using google to re-iterate exactly what Sythe said.
