| Senior Member ![]() ![]() | LL to enforce brand name In case you haven't seen it yet Introducing the Second Life Brand Center « Official Second Life Blog LL is enforcing their trademark/brand name. You have 90 days to remove variations of Second Life or SL from your business name/web page. There's going to be a lot of SL business effected by this. The links in the blog make for interesting reading too |

Business: Illusions: Masks and Unique Accessories | Whoa wow, they're enforcing "SL" too? That's going to make a lot of changes to a lot of people, especially the Society for Llamas and the Sponges and Loofas Association. We'll also have to stop using words like "also" and turn them into "aso" or "aslo". EDIT:

Business: Peregrine Salon | This has actually been their policy for a long time now. When I started SLBoutique, I talked to Robin, and I basically... well... had to do what they're saying they're doing now. This is nothing new, for those who have been paying attention to trademark / fair use all along. They're definitely expanding their branding, but this actually should have been done years ago. I've had a ton of t-shirt designs rejected in the past - can't say I blame 'em, given my sense of humor. ![]() Regards, -Flip

I really doubt they're going to waste their time going after general blogs. This is geared more towards products with the SL name in them and the SL logo, etc. However the wording is INCREDIBLY vague. | |

Business: Peregrine Salon | PS - Removing "SL" from things like "SLUniverse.com" - good luck! It ain't going to happen. I once worked for a place called "The Einstein Academy" that Einstein's estate tried to stop using "Einstein" - however, even though it was a proper noun, they failed because it was a cultural meme. Just my experience. Regards, -Flip |
