cmatthes Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This in from the US Patent & Trademark Office this week: Congrats to Mike and Trish!
aknapp Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Congrats to the Shishkovs! Does this mean we're going to have a big controversy over the "pre-trademark" vs "post-trademark" guitars?
cynic Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Congrats to the Shishkov USA brand! Did someone say pre and post TM?
Steve Haynie Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Great. Now Mike can start paying lawyers to send cease and desist letters to Shishkov's Taco Stand, Shishkov Dry Cleaning, and Shishkov Dog Grooming.
ptm1diver Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Stop the presses..New Flash.FMIC acquires Shishkov USA
The Shark Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I'm guessing incorporation isn't far around the corner.
geowolves Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Congratulations and look forward to the line of guitars that will be offered when the Ultimate run is completed that will rival any of the guitars being sold. Wherever the ride takes us I am sure it will be a thrill to all who get to own a Shishkov!
LordOfTheThighs Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Where can I download a bootleg decal at?I keed, I keed. Congrats. Really cool.
Steve Haynie Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Now for the expensive part of trademark law-- "first to file" countries. The boutique music gear companies may not have much to worry about, but the guys who came up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles found out they had to pay the "owners" of the TMNT trademarks and copyrights if they wanted to sell their products in some countries.
scottcald Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Congratulations, Mike. To quote every StarWars movie, "This is where the fun begins!"
hamerhead Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Congrats, but I woulda called it 'Mike'. Waaaaay easier to spell.Anyone else think this whole story is the coolest thing? Watching it unfold is incredible. Thanks, Mike and Trish!
cmatthes Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 I'm right there with ya, Tim. Couldn't be happier for the Shishkov family.
