Trademark office rejects Watchtower's application for "JW.Org" logo (page 2)

Apognophos

cultBgone: Someone recently noted that the org. itself seems to be using both kinds of logos. Drat, I can't find the post to give them the proper credit. Thought it was JuanViejo....

Just thought of something. Since the denial for trademark status was due to a lack of any use within commerce, all the JW.ORG things now make more sense. I've been seeing pins, bags, pens, (I'm waiting for a shirt, jesus, I would just wear it to LOL everyday at ppls reaction) stickers and so forth everywhere. I guess the plan is to take photos of the logo "in commerce" now, and make a new application for the slight variation with the dot before the ORG portion.

ADCMS......you are on fire today posting some really good stuff. No doubt another example of a Watchtower Corporation executive not only being a hyprocrite to the counsel the GB gives to the rank & file, but no doubt the cult ended up paying for his son's law degree to help defend the cult.
