[Mccoypottery-talk] patent

[Ohio Pottery & Glassware]

You trademark the McCoy marks.
Jenson no longer owns any trademarks...from a friend of his.
And I disagree about another company making for the McCoy Club.  Again, HCA
has been doing it for years.  This year Mosser is doing their pieces.
Fenton has done them, etc.
I'll be going to the HCA meeting this month if anyone would like for me to
get more information on how a CLUB is protecting the name of the company
they collect.  I'm not trying to be difficult here, but all I have heard for
3 years is it can't be done.  I'm trying to find a solution, not sit back
and complain.
As a dealer and collector, the fakes hurt my business daily.
I'll go on the record right now and pledge $50.00 to help.  Or more if
needed.

Hello:
Sounds easy, but believe me I have look at this very hard and find that
the other problem is what mark do you register?: McCoy, McCoy USA,
Brush-McCoy,and in what form. No matter what in order to cover the bases
you have to register each one. Jensen has the mccoy name in his present
trademark known as Jensen McCoy.

Another company that may make an item for the registered group would not
fit the requirement.

Needless to day, this is why so many people have not done so.

Lastly, The reason Jensen did not renew his registation which has to be
done again and again is that he was threatened by the owner of McCoy
Pottery when it went out of business.  Do we have the money for corporate
council because he will come after you.Cheers!  Terry
