Subject:Re: "clonewheel' trademark, was: Diversi

Exactly why it would be a bad trademark for a single product; it actually came into being as a "generic" (describing a type of product, rather than a specific product).

Dave Bishop wrote: In the business, clonewheel would be known as a "weak" trademark, and since
it would be impossible to establish that the term "clonewheel" is identified
in the minds of the relevant population (that's us purchasers) with a
particular manufacturer or his product, it would surely be unenforceable in
the United States. Clonewheel Support Group, however, is a stronger mark
that might have limited enforecability.
