- scottlu2 9y agoWhat year did you receive the cease and desist and was it from Brinks Hofer / Brinks Gilson & Lione?

(Without intending any interpretation of this: I believe, in principle, you have to defend a trademark in order to uphold the rights – and at this point it was well in their radar.)
