Can a company really own the word "Satellite"

[dminner]

hmmmm. I didnt even know they made pedals...I guess that is a more legitimate complaint then...even though their pedals still say Satellite Amplification and not Satellite Effects. Oh well. They should really just hire me to fix the shitty design work on their pedals.

They do get points for The Shaggs reference though:

Dminner>other company

That's a sticking point, for sure, and probably the reason they hit you up.

Pretty much.
Just change your name to something more rad and fuck em in the mouth dude.

Also advertise when you do runs so I can get something.
Your shit is awesome.

anyone have this tab?

I know the cool kids love 'em (do they still?) but I could never get into the Shaggs. Maybe I'm too basic.

Here are some lists of cool satellite names! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... satellites

Sadly, I have nothing to recommend as far as mouthfucking.

Uh, didn't Boogie and maybe Fender already have amps with Satellite in the name? Or did that shit all expire?

That sucks dminner, but I think amps is in the right legally. It's a compliment that they even found you

for me I enjoy them but i'm not into it. I like the idea a little more than I do the experience

Also, this seems like exactly what lead to Dwarfcraft having to rename the Shiva.

There should be a list of registered trade names.

See if it is registered.

Selling clones is legal as long as the pcbs are not direct copies, and they are not sold as the original thing. Like tricking folks into thinking they are getting an actual dba. You can however say that the circuit is a 100% accurate clone in terms of components.

I would tell them to go fuck themselves personally. Then I'd set up an LLC in the name and tell them to try and contest it. I just looked it up and I don't see that name registered anywhere. So fuck them.

Legal threats are weak. Offer to fight them in a car park for it. 13 rounds, no shirt, no gloves. Winner takes the name and all remaining stock.

In all seriousness the last two posts are the best advice you're gonna get.

Try jwar's way first, though.
