lol seriously, trademark the bagua symbol? brazen and disgusting. freakin over litigious society.

[Harmonious Emptiness]

outrageous.

 

Aside from the connection the oldest wisdom text in China, the I Ching, the octagon is one of the most basic geometric shapes!

 

The square though - that's mine! No squares ppl., or you gotta pay up, got it?

Thanks - ridiculous - just signed it.

 

Next someone will want to sue over the Ying Yang symbol .... or a picture of a lizard.

Yeah...

 

Ummm...

 

Been meaning to tell you...

 

My attorneys will be contacting you soon about that.

[Nungali]

Yes ... and Graham Chapman's, HandMade Films' and George Harrison's attorneys will be looking for you too

[ChiDragon]

Let Nature take its course...!!!

Ah, the Black Taoist...I know of this guy.

 

I can't see how this can be done right now. IP law states that a logo has to interfere with another logo in trade purposes, right? UFC's logo isn't an octagon, it's 3 red letters.

 

Nor can I actually believe that the corporation is fussed about taking a small business man to court over this. It makes no sense...

It's Novell Bell.

 

Why get caught helping out a P.R. campaign or a media hype blitz. It's just another attempt at creating a public splash. Pass it by and let it die

 

 

Training is more important than the P.R. maneuvers designed to manipulate you.
