Good luck! - Chairman S. 21:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know that is not considered good Wikipedia manners to edit other people's user pages. Use the "talk" page instead. I moved your comment to me to my "talk" page and replied there. Inkwell 22:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Patent/trademark
Swingers Date Club makes a lot of noise about it's trademark. Not like Wikipedia is all that interested in whether someone holds a trademark as a measure of their includability in the 'pedia, but trademark with serial number 78526726, for Swingers Date Club, has status DEAD/Abandonded with the USPTO.

It's also not an exclusive mark. There are half a dozen other SDC trademark holders.
 * System Development Company a new hampshire corp
 * Stephanie D Capsolas
 * a debit card company that doesn't indicate why SDC relates to them, but they registered it.
 * SOCIETY OF DYERS AND COLOURISTS
 * etc

our company lawyer is preparing to file suit against wikipedia i will leave this in his hands
 * Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!


 * I'd love to know what law Wikipedia is breaking.Inkwell 20:46, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * For the record, the USPTO does show 78526726 as an active mark, although I do not see how that has any impact on anything going on here. --Gmaxwell 19:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That was a year ago. It was correct at the time, but it doesn't matter to Wikipedia anyways. SchmuckyTheCat 20:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OH duh, yes. The USPTO indicated the status was updated in something like June 2006. I saw February on your comment and totally missed the year. In any case as you said, no relevance to Wikipedia. Thanks. --Gmaxwell 22:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
