Not to be that guy, but why do you feel you are entitled to advertise on somebody else's trademark?

- CamperBob2 7y agoIt's obviously an instance of fair use. Otherwise no indy auto repair shops could advertise, for example. Where the problems come in is when the actual name of the business includes a third party trademark. Try calling your business "Joe's Cut-Rate Porsche Service" and you can expect a C&D order.
- technothrasher 7y agoYes, you'll likely get a C&D order, however that doesn't mean you'll lose. As an example, Ferrari a few years ago went after all the independent "Joe's Ferrari Service" type places in the US with C&Ds against them using Ferrari's name in their business name. Most of the shops banded together and all sent legal letters telling Ferrari to $%*# off as it was fair use. Ferrari backed off.
- brokenmachine 7y agoGood on them. I'd probably be a bit nervous about taking my Ferrari to Joe's Ferrari Service though.
- ultraluminous 7y agoHe's not advertising "on sombedoy else's trademark". He's advertising a business that offer third party repair services of a product name <trademark>. You are commenting on an article titled "Support for right-to-repair laws slowly grows", so perhaps his feeling of "entitlement" is the topic of the article?
