    Re: [mrc] Re: [mru] OT: Stolen Logo



    Dear Jeff,

    I started using the "new" Nerd Boy in 2000 as shown by this link:

    http://web.archive.org/web/200010210...om/index1.html

    Look familiar....your second link for them has part of my site on it. I
    was smart enough to even update the Copyright Date. Something I will now be
    checking on all of my sites this week.

    Thank you,

    Nerd Boy

    RE: Stolen Logo



    I hope you trademarked the artwork and the name. If you did it, will be
    easier to get them to stop using both the name and trademark. If there were
    in some field other than computers you might have trouble getting them to
    stop using the name but since your businesses are similar you have a very
    strong case if you can prove first use.
