Tell them very clearly to take it down or you will sue.
Make sure they know it’s copyrighted.
HI, I’m new to this whole affiliate thing. I hope to have my web sites up and running by the middle of March. I just happened to come across this post. Back in the eighties I have developed a board game and had two copyright infringement cases. It’s a little touchy depending on how you copyright was structured. In my case like yours it was the name. An example Bigfoot you may have a copyright that protects the use of footwear, in that case someone would be able to use it for something else, my advice is to get ahold of your relative the copyright attorney and have them sendoff an official notice of infringement, as soon as possible the one thing that really seems to matter is time the longer they use your name the stronger their case.
I strongly doubt that you can protect the words Lucky Lady to the extent of stopping the formation of Lucky Lady Casino.
They are common words – and a common phrase not a brand – and the whole idea that a person can take these words out of the public domain seems wrong to me.
sleepy.gifDidn’t we see a simialr thing recently where someone tried to copyright the word PURPLE as an extensive branding thing? Or did I get the wrong end of the stick ?
Of course I’m not a laywer – but I still think it is preposterous …
:whoa:
