Unless one researches the exact registration ( date, applicability of the respective trademark(s) ) this one is not very helpful, is it??

Don’t change the channel!!

I’m getting used to you not seeing (getting) the point, so don’t worry!

Maybe we need a little “school of the boat”.

Did you fail to see the “press release” from LGB45 stating that they own all trademarks outside of Germany?

Here is the German version:
LGB, RIGI, GNOMY, LGB of America, LEHMANN and the LGB TOYTRAIN logotype are registered trademarks. Other trademarks are the property of their owners. Â© 2007 E.P. LEHMANN GmbH & Co. KG.

Here is the Sandy Eigo version:
LGB, RIGI, GNOMY, LGB of America, LEHMANN and the LGB TOYTRAIN logotype are registered trademarks. Other trademarks are the property of their owners. Â© 2007 LGB of America, Inc.

So, uh, like the man said, who owns what?

Dave,

What we need is ribbons or medals on completion of “training”.

I guess in Grade 4 it’s easier to comprehend things.

Today is my one day off from teaching the kids and I’m printing up certificates for the “Tough Cookies” who were on that one and a half hour XC ski trip yesterday in a really blustery snowstorm.

At the end of the treck they had a choice; they could leisurely ski to the lodge on the flat track or tackle one more hill to swoop down to the finish. Everyone chose the swooping.

It’s a joy to teach those kids!

I’m beginning to smell a rat. Actually, I smelled one a long time ago, but was reluctant to go even this far.

This is more fun that watching two monkeys trying to kiss a NFL football.

Dago Red has such a heady nose.

I’m not so sure it’s “Who owns what” as much as it is "When will LGBoA take, by default, full ownership of LGB…

Hans-Joerg_Mueller · February 16, 2007, 1:57am

Warren,

Whatever!

Has anyone looked at the trademark registrations as they are currently listed?

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=eufbso.2.11

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=hkme3p.2.12

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm … how long would it take for changing the registrations and would there be a new “Published for Opposition” timeline?? Would one need to have a very smart legal beagle not to miss those “Opposition” timelines??

Two of your 3 links have expired. Could you copy/paste the information…Please!

With the possible exception of an empty garage and depleted bank account in NÃ¼rnberg, it seems like they have already taken “full ownership” (well at least full possession)! Jerry
