I know jack squat about business, but even I know, "don't tick off your potential customers with stupid stunts."<BR/><BR/>I do have to say it would be kind of sweet, in the poetic-justice sense, if the woman who copyrighted "Craftster" went after them for unauthorized use of the name...<BR/><BR/>I just shake my head over the sheer IMMATURITY of the whole thing.fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-22477076128688801692007-10-23T20:14:00.000-04:002007-10-23T20:14:00.000-04:00I find it offensive that they are trying to claim ...I find it offensive that they are trying to claim copyright on a phrase that's been in the vernacular for years, many many years, which is part of the folk tradition of knitting.

I don't think they are right, but that's for the courts to sort out.<BR/><BR/>What bothers me is that they are such bullies about it.

Given the period of time that's elapsed, it seems like they're just pinging each other every so often to say "give up yet? no? okay, extension of time", which doesn't cost either side very much at all, until they're both forced to commit some real funds to the dispute.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, one trademark remains registered (although it seems that somebody there is determined to drive their goodwill into the red -- they have t-shirt patterns and classes, yet they're advocating buying readymade?), and the other isn't, while the family of products associated with the latter keeps growing and growing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-41400403098020325792007-10-23T10:35:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:35:00.000-04:00Sheesh.Sheesh.mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981340071876565395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-64107857151576795372007-10-23T10:19:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:19:00.000-04:00That is truly funny...I can't believe how non-shre...That is truly funny...I can't believe how non-shrewd people can be about their businesses.<BR/><BR/>Now, if they were Disney, and made tons of money by selling their trademarked characters and such, I could understand the legal fight.
