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

If you don't mind me asking...

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.

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

Anyone wants to use the word "SUBSIM" has to pay him.
Anyone wants to use the word "Carotio" you don't get squat.

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 I don't wanna trademark the name. I'm too much a bad wolf to protect a notoriously bad rumoured name....

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...

Good to hear.

I knew what it was just wanted to make sure there would be no conflict there.

Why did it take two damn years though? I mean I thought we had a lean mean efficent goverment in place now.
