Well, no, this is not true. Someone at a theater who uses the IMAX brand but does not have IMAX technology (maybe they use some no-name or in-house big screen technology) could do so by referencing the brand (ie. IMAX wording, IMAX logo, etc) in which case it'd be a trademark infringement. They'd be tying the IMAX brand to a non-IMAX screen in what I assume would be an unauthorized manner (I highly doubt IMAX would authorize its use).
Not all references to their brand are trademark issues but there are certain cases where references to the brand are trademark issues.
- maxlybbert 11y agoThe wording of the parent comment wasn't perfect. But I understood it to mean "not every reference is a trademark issue."
- mynameisvlad 11y agoAh, if that was the intention, then yes, I fully agree. I (obviously) understood it to mean that "all references are not trademark issues".
- comrh 11y agoYeah that was the intention, it wasn't very clear. I was really talking any reference in journalism.
