To Bitpop and all other creators/retainers of Ethereum Classic.
You may not be aware of this, but "Ethereum" is a registered trademark, your reckless use of the Ethereum brand has caused substantial losses to our shareholders (in the millions of dollars), in which you can be held responsible.
This is a 0-day notice to immediately change, or remove, in every place possible, your description of Ethereum Classic that does not have any name or mark confusingly similar.
We are choosing not to reveal our identity and give you an opportunity to comply. You are hereby notified that if you do not comply with this request, we will immediately file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General's office in your state. Civil and criminal claims will be pursued.
Dear shitheads shareholders,
"Ethereum" is a registered trademark under the U.S. law claimed by Stiftung Ethereum (Grienbachstrasse 55, Baar, 6340, Schweiz). However "Ethereum Classic" should be registered separately and there is no such registration.
We are deeply concerned about alleged substantial losses to you, the shareholders, though Stiftung Ethereum is a non-profit entity under the Swiss law with no profits and shareholders whatsoever. If you are shareholders of Ethereum Switzerland GmbH which has managed spending of the 31k BTC premine until recently, your statement is of no effect because the forementioned business (CHE-349.816.493) is being liquidated:
