Neonazi trying to trade mark the term "Hardcore"
Re post from SOIA message board.
Please check this out. This has been brought to our attention we have written the German trade mark office and are trying to get people aware. Please
do what you can.
www. keinbockaufnazis. de doesn't put up with the latest shocking news and neither should you! The german Neonazi Timo Schubert trademarked the term
"Hardcore". If he gets the ratification, it would be a disaster for the whole scene! We got to know of this just by fluke and now try to mobilize as
much people as we can to prevent a legal validity. The opposition period expires END OF MARCH. First of all our Lawyer applied for cancelation of the
entry. Quite possible that they dismiss our petition. If so, we will file an objection together with some Fanzines, Mailorders and Recordlabels.
This would become very expensive because of the lawyer's fee.
Now here's what you can do:
1.
Make it public! Inform all of your friends, bands, clubs and labels. Repost this bulletin. Link our website so that everyone keeps up to date.
2. Write a nice but certain mail to the "German Patent and Trade Mark Office" (info@dpma.de) and tell them what you are thinking about this action.
3. We are selling a "Hardcore"-Shirt in our onlineshop - now more than ever! We will pay the Lawyer’s fee with the profit of this
"Hardcore-Savior-Shirt".
So get one in our shop!
And if the Neonazi want’s to sue us for the shirt – the heck with it! They won’t get us down! Hardcore will always be against Nazis! Send your
protest-mails to the "German Patent and Trade Mark Office": info@dpma.de

What's the chances of Germans beating the shit outta this guy if he ever shows his face at a show to complain about them using his "trademark?"

I'm no legal expert, but wouldn't this guy have to prove to have originated the term to patent it?

Sounds like bullshit too me, but what do i know.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Sue who? Bands that aren't incorporated as real businesses? Band members who don't use their real names anywhere? And furthermore...bands that
don't make any real money anyway? Maybe he could sue record labels, maybe.

If a band doesn't make any real money, you can sue the individuals.

First of all, no German guy is going to sue a billion indie HC labels for $3 profit. Thats just assinine. Bigger labels? You going to sue for $10
profit? Good luck. Hope lawyer fees and years of litigation over bad music and half ass managed labels is worth his time.
Let him copyright it. Most hardcore bands and labels suck anyway, this way the real people will go underground and do something creative for once
instead of apeing each others shit. This whole debacle needs to come crashing down anyway.
