Mighty cool! :rock: Congrats Nealster! :woot:

Does that mean I owe Neal approx. 12 million USD?

Besides the cool thing about it, then what is it good for?
If you don't mind me asking...

Nah.. you got the $1 discount for members.

This is an easy one.

SUBSIM = $$$$

Carotio = 0

Anyone wants to use the word "SUBSIM" has to pay him.

Anyone wants to use the word "Carotio" you don't get squat.

Congrats Neal.


Guess I'll have to turn over my .com domains to you, subsimporn and subsimbabes.

Congrats Neal....

But what about this

Mr. Neal Stevens

It has come to my attention that "Subsim" is now a registered trademark. I would like to bring it to your attention formally, that I have been using the subsim name as a part of my signature for some time now at the subsim.com forums.

Please consider this a written request to continue using the trademarked Subsim name as part of my forum signature, so that any infringement issues might be avoided in the future.

Congratulations on your trademarking, and thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

John Sealey

Yeah, the main thing, it protects my intellectual property, i.e., the subsim website and community concept. So if some yahoo decides to start up a copycat website, and call it Ocean Subsim, or something similar to Submarine Simulation / SubSim, he will be infringing on my trademark and be liable to pay me damages. Most people don't do that sort of thing in the first place, because they respect each other.


Haha, thanks :haha:

No problem, I discussed it with Adrian some time back, it's for educational purposes.

Hah, the sig I stole from you? :D Use the word Subsim all you want, as long as it refers to Subsim. :salute:

Trade Mark:salute:

yay... we gots a copyright...!!!

I suspected it was related that way to $$$, but again the question remains a bit...
Carotio is actually two words written as one. Ask an Italian what it means:
caro tio :03: I don't wanna trademark the name. I'm too much a bad wolf to protect a notoriously bad rumoured name.... :haha:

What I really meant by what it is good for, is that since you speak of respect among each other, do you then have previous incidents where the subsim name was in any real danger of being picked by someone else?
Still just curious... :06:

Congratulations! Is this the new official Subsim (®!) logo :hmmm:? I guess the "two years of hard work" mean you designing that picture above :O:

As for the "cake and ice cream" part: Sounds more like a birthday party for kids (no offence) I myself are going to celebrate it with a cold one :DL
:()1:

Neal,

On a slightly more judicial note, would YOU like the subsim members who have websites that link or refer to Subsim, to request permission to use the name on their site?

I'm thinking maybe an open topic whereby requests can be made, and you can gave a yah or nay in the forums, instead of adding to the millions of PM you receive every day.

I'm wondering. Do we become patented members now? :timeout:



:woot:
