First off, let's get something straight that we can both probably agree upon. We are a retail stand-alone operation (two stores) and serve a local clientele only. We are not in any way, shape or form, a "mail-order merchant." I've been trying to calculate the odds on my favourite mailorder bike component pusher (the biggest in Europe) having the same name as a two- store Californian (?) operation -- but how do you assess the likelihood of two guys independently making the same pun? [...] There are also Chain Reaction Cycles in Anchorage, Alaska and Prattville, Alabama. Sherwood Florist. There's a bunch of them. Some have never heard of Green Arrow. The battles in courts between folks who came up with the same name and then *later* started to compete have been more than just a handful. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail.

Near as I can tell, we were the first. But, as is obvious, we made no attempts to keep the name for our exclusive use. Too expensive to go that route. We did have somebody open up a shop in North Carolina several years ago and try to register the name as a trademark and have an attorney send us a "cease & desist" letter, including a demand to turn over our website domain to them. I guess they figured they had a shot as us rolling over, but it was dealt with in a way that those folk won't likely be trying any such thing again. Did you make them an offer they couldn't refuse, Don Jacoubowsky? \\paul -- Paul M. Hobson ..:change the f to ph to reply:. |
