Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

From advice our company trademarks and patents lawyer has given us in the past, a UK court would not accept that trade mark, since 'champagne' and 'powder' are recognized words. Which begs the question of 'Apple' and 'Windows' I know - but maybe Apple and Microsoft have such menacing teams of lawyers that no one wants to take them on - and they may also be relying on being able to accuse other companies as passing off their products if they use 'Apple or 'Windows'

Its a funny old game Trademarks, Copyright, Patent and IP rights, very good for the lawyers to make money out of.

I have been invloved with a few cases, one was when I was making toys we were sent a bill for £40K for using a Smiley Face, a French guy had trademarked the smiley face and then they tried it on by billing me, funny thing was that they sort of forgot that they had no registration for the toy market and only had a 2 dimsional image registered.

Their bill was sent back with a nice little letter from our solicitors for damages Very Happy

A friend's dad once sent a cease and desist note to another company who was using his very distinctive cartoon firefighter... The retunred letter showed that it was actually a royalty free clip art image from one of those clipart CDs... Laughing
