Re: OGNASTY now Guilty of trademark infringement.. When will this punk stop?
You don't have a trademark on the name NastyPenny.
Of course, I don't have a trademark on the name "NastyPenny." I never claimed to have one on the name "NastyPenny." However, I do have a trademark on "Bitcoin Penny." Inserting the word "Nasty" into the middle of "Bitcoin Penny" is the infringement.
Trademark: "Mercedes Benz"
Trademark infringement: "Mercedes Nasty Benz"
What an insult!
However it doesn't work like that. First of all you can't claim to have copyrights on the word ''bitcoin'' nor the word ''penny'' They only have copyrights on ''BitcoinPenny'' as a whole, not separate. You can't claim copyright if someone decides to use ''bitcoin'' or ''penny'' just like ''wholefoods'' would not be able to claim copyright if someone uses the word food.
Does he claim copyright because someone uses "bitcoin" or "penny" or does he claim copyright because someone uses both and added Nasty between it?
This auction is for 10 individual Prototype Bitcoin NastyPenny Commemorative Coins. Only 10 of these 0.01 BTC loaded coins were created by OgNasty and engraved with 30-character (vanity) mini-keys secured by Nasty holograms.
As far as I can tell, that's more than just using the word "penny".
