Everton FC in battle with village farm shop over its name

[MrGrumpy]

Seriously are we being that pathetic, though we were a grown up club acting above and beyond other clubs.
Guessing we know were the Arteta money is...wasting it on sueing a women for no reason

If you read the last couple of pages you will see there is a perfectly legitimate bigger picture to this.

Something core to the potential health of the club. If no action is taken.

I don't consider it pathetic or not acting grown up.

In the real world companies all the time seek to protect their IP.

This is no different.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Wipe these off the map Everton COYB!

Its really bad PR, remember the [Poor language removed] toys r us git for sueing a shop called vegtable r us. Or what ever it was.
She in a village called Everton. What if there a school called Everton primary? We going to sue them as well? Or what about the local garage thier calked Everton motors. Maybe we should just sue the village to change its name, then once were done we can sue Everton mints.
Its a pointless exercise that brings bad PR in a battle we lose because the village is called Everton.

Its not bad PR.

I cannot fathom why you think its bad PR.

Scenario: Some clown produces 100,000 fake Everton scarves and tries to sell them at £5.00 a pop. Turns out they are flammable. So in addition to trademark infringement, the club has fans walking round with flammable scarves on.

That would be bad PR! 'CHILD BURNT BY FAKE EVERTON SCARF' etc etc



Can you not see the issue?

If Everton Football Club cannot control its IP or prevent people from misappropriating it then we really will have issues.

I also make this point. Intellectual Property can only be enforced if the holder of it wants to enforce it. (which costs money)

This is a good thing in the bigger picture. The woman should have thought about it beforehand. Is this logo REALLY a good idea?

Its their fault for using it knowing a big football club might not be too happy about it.

Lol at this, not really a good example to use. Killer scarves v bunches of carrots !

 

[anton66]

Even the local farmer has taught his cows to BOO instead of MOO. That is a definite infringement on copyright.

Its a brilliant real world example.

Its a slippery slope from bunches of carrots to killer merchandise.

 

[Moomin]

She has had us of big time. If I could pick a movie scene of how she has had it off it would be from deliverance. The " squel like a pig " scene, but no Burt Reynolds to save us.

What's that now? 18 in 64?

This woman is making a holy show of us. Our board needs to be strong and act decisively, or this could spiral out of control. Frankly, I hate that someone has to die, but the lines have been drawn and there's simply no turning back. We must be the hunter and not the prey.

 

[BigBlueConk]

I would have said we will have to pay the penalty...

but the ref would never give it.
