[Mccoypottery-talk] trademark

[Ohio Pottery & Glassware]

Terry:
You are saying the Nelson McCoy would come after the McCoy club if they
tried to trademark the McCoy pottery marks/names?
Or Roger Jenson?  From what Kevin and others have said, it may appear that
Roger has no resources to go after anyone right now.
IF the McCoy club were to register the trademarks for McCoy, then they could
also do a VERO with eBay and shut these auctions down, once and for all.
Yes, a bit of work.  Yes, a bit of money, but how much do we as McCoy lovers
lose every year because the value of our pottery is going down, not up due
to all the fakes on eBay, Ruby Lane, TIAS, etc.
I did a search on several sites this morning and had I taken the time to
send an email to every fake piece of Hull, Roseville, and McCoy on those
sites, I would have to cancel all work for the rest of this week just to
send the emails!

Hello Chiquita:

You and I know that it is not something that can be done as easy as the
discussion has indicated.
Believe me www.mccoypottery.com would have done it long ago except I have
researched and found that the legal problems we can not afford. Let alone
the operational expense. Roger Jensen was unable to. If there is someone
on the list that has a big pocket book and wants to donate the thousands
of dollars to do so both legal costs and operational costs. I will gladly
administer.

Cheers!  Terry
