    cultBgone: Someone recently noted that the org. itself seems to be using both kinds of logos. Drat, I can't find the post to give them the proper credit. Thought it was JuanViejo....

    Just thought of something. Since the denial for trademark status was due to a lack of any use within commerce, all the JW.ORG things now make more sense. I've been seeing pins, bags, pens, (I'm waiting for a shirt, jesus, I would just wear it to LOL everyday at ppls reaction) stickers and so forth everywhere. I guess the plan is to take photos of the logo "in commerce" now, and make a new application for the slight variation with the dot before the ORG portion.

    Is this another case of a Watchtower heavy-hitter getting his son a university education on Watchtower's (read: the rank-and-file's) dime????

    ADCMS......you are on fire today posting some really good stuff. No doubt another example of a Watchtower Corporation executive not only being a hyprocrite to the counsel the GB gives to the rank & file, but no doubt the cult ended up paying for his son's law degree to help defend the cult.

    perhaps wt wants to stop the trinket makers/sellers from using the new logo in ridiculing ways and without credit and payment.

    all uses, of a trademark, either in shape, colour or name has to bear the statement: example

    J.W.ORK (tm) is the registered trademark of wtbts INC of Pensylvania, whatever.

    you can read it on any legit name brand item sold in the US.

    A trade mark can be more valuable than the product. here it would be.

    wt lawyers would have a hayday stopping any knock-offs of nick-nacks and counter - literature.
