In a stunning move of ultimate legal prowess, UFO Magazine ™ has sent a cease and desist letter to the UFO Magazine.net
Today I signed for a certified letter I received from UFO Magazine. When I opened it and read its contents, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. At first I thought it was a joke. This letter, a Cease and Desist letter, was from Julie S. Maresca, attorney at law representing UFO Magazine. The letter demanded that I stop using the term UFO on my UFO hobby website. It stated that UFO Magazine was the owner of the term,UFO, as they had a federal trademark for it.
Wellso do 172 others if you search the trademark website at USPTO.gov. There are a bunch of people who have the term UFO within their trademark name, or just the term UFO by itself. And just think of the millions around the world who use the term UFO in daily conversation, in newspaper articles, in magazine articles, on websites, in letters, on message boards, etc. Do you think UFO Magazine has sent Cease and Desist letters to everyone using the term UFO? Oh my gosh!
Hello. That’s fucking stupid. Stupid shit, from a stupid ass magazine with a dumb-ass attorney. Fuck UFO Magazine, fuckin’ bullshit rag.
Not my usual lengthy intellectual exposition, but pretty much my opinion of this matter.
