    Dear All,

    These guys have stole my Nerd Boy. They use him in a commercial =
    even.

    <A HREF ="http://www.asmallurl.com/2B">http://www.asmallurl.com/2B</A>

    I have had the various domains and the Nerd Boy since 1997 and 1998. =
    So now I have to call my lawyer I guess. They have only had their =
    domain since 2001. This could get interesting and expensive. I paid a =
    lot to have him made in the first place.

    They are in the DC area and I spoke there for Verio at a conference =
    as a Keynote Speaker and had a about 10 or 12 Nerd Boys that I used for =
    one of my presentations. I wonder if they got the idea then.
    =20
    Sheesh!!!!

    Thank you,

    Jeffrey R. Collins

    Don't hold back. Spend all the money you have to set an example. =
    Mortgage
    your house if you have to. Take out a credit card loan and sue the =
    bastards.

    Seriously though, that does stink.

      Did you ask them about it? Have they been reasonable? Do you have
      "nerdboy" trademarked? You would be able to win any court battle- you
      have all of us as witnesses as to how long you've been in business :)

        Here's a thought that seems to be in the minority though:

        Any way you can ask them to kindly remove all references to your
        company/logo/etc first before suing them for everything? I only ask this
        because it could be people's livelihoods at stake over albeit a stupid
        mistake but one that could be quickly corrected?

          Dear Scot,

          I have been trying to get Nerd Boy as a Trademark, but they say it is "A
          Generic Term" and cannot be Trademarked. Funny, Microsoft was able the
          Trademark "Windows" which I think is pretty generic. I am not done with
          this whole process yet. With no problems at all it can take 2 to 3 years to
          get a Trade Mark.

          I am thinking the Logo will be covered under Copyright Law, but I am not
          absolutely sure about that...hence the call to my attorney.

          Thank you,

          Nerd Boy

              Dear Scott,

              I did not answer the first part of your question.

              I just found out about it about an hour or so ago. My son found it by
              total accident.

              So, I will be pursing this whole thing tomorrow.

              Thank you,

              Nerd Boy
