| So, have they trademarked the word "second" and all its forms? I was thinking of calling my next store "Sloppy Seconds".

Business: Azure Islands | They cant protect SL or LL -- trademark law doesnt allow two character trademarks. Three is very difficult to pursue (you have to be a big known brand, ala IBM, Sun, etc) I dont know why they are trying to - they should know that they arent required to defend those, since they cant aquire them. Usual disclaimer: IANAL. |

| exp(ln(Gearhead)) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The SL part is problematic in general but is easy to enforce if you go contextual. For example we can't argue that SL in SL Universe is not Second Life. Having been exposed to trademark rules of international organizations, not even corporations, I'm actually surprised Linden Labs took so long to handle this matter. Trademark guidelines are important so that people can clearly and easily distinguish between you (SL and LL in this case) and someone who is only associated with you (SLU, SLExchange, etc). RIght when the commercial websites sprung up LL should have supplied logos (like the InSL) and usage rules for such purpose. Truth be told, I was surprised that their logo/banner package that is downloadable from the website contained their actual official logos and trademarks and not affiliation logos (e.g. InSL). |

Besides it's a pretty common thing that fansites use the host name (e.g. WoW, RO, Sims) and extend it. IMO LL should not take any issues with SLUniverse, SLExchange, and the like since they are extended names very much like, say, ROEmpire, and there's no way you can be mistaken to be an official LL entity. LL should allow the SL-extending. It's important for them to have legal distance but it's also important for them to have recognizable proximity. People still have to know immediately that your site is SL-oriented. | |

Yes, it's not wise for them to pursue anyone except those who purport to be directly affiliated with SL/LL. | |

Although I'm not European, the VAT mess was the last straw for me. I could no longer recommend the platform of a company that wouldn't even warn people in time, before sharply increasing their bills. This whole thing totally weirds me out. Trademark is all well and good, but who would want to undermine the positive word of mouth that comes from letting people feel they are a part of something, to which they can invite others? The blog is so badly written it's guaranteed to create confusion, like so many blogs before it. LL *seriously* needs to give better thought to PR and community management. Whoever they are listening to now either has no power or no experience. | |

Business: Scripter for hire XBOX Leaderboard: 37th | Just a random thought, could it be that the investors at LL are getting antsy? Maybe that is why all these changes are happening. Perhaps an IPO or a buyout is on the way? |
