Heathens United Vs. Heathen Nation

Michelle Silva

This is about religious freedom, not just trademarks. "Heathen" is our religious identity, not merely a brand. My family changed our business name from Heathen Traditions to Worldash Traditions to avoid potential legal disputes. No company should control the identity of an entire community. Our traditions belong to those who live and honor them.

You can't trademark the name of a religion.

Being a Heathen is a spiritual practice / belief and should not be trademarked.

Christ is king

A religious choice. Not owned by any person.

I am national vp of heathen mc 1% …. Where is that man I ask that will take my name from me? Our name is trademark and symbol as well. An apparel company is a different entity and u have no right to a single word that is in the name of any particular company’s name

Heathen is a belief system. Not a trademark. You can't trademark Christian, Catholic, or Buddha. This is simply wrong and needs to stop immediately

overreach

Keep the heathen word free to use

The petitions name says it all. My beliefs are not a trademark.

I follow the heathen path. It is wrong to take a word from a whole religion and say I can't use it.

Faiths are not something to trademark. Especially if you do not follow the faith. No one owns the word Christian to sell items. No one can be sued or harassed for using the word, yet a word to describe a follower of my faith is. Shameful

Hail our people

Keep Heathen open to the Folk

You can't trademark a Religious saying.

I had takedown notice issued on some of my designs because they have the word heathen in the title, well mine say Heathens. Ridiculous, that a common word can be trademarked.

No company should hole sole power over a word, one used to designate a religion. Same as how no one company holds the power over any monotheistic title. This is nothing less than religious discrimination, and an attack on polytheists who are trying to live under the thumb of monotheistic controlled society.

As Gothi of Order of the Iron Raven, Heathen Nation can go f itself!

HEATHEN, IS THE RELIGIOUS TERM DESCRIBING PAGEN RELIGIONS. AS IS CHRISTIAN IS FOR CHRISTIANITY. CAN CHRISTIAN BE TRADEMARKED TOO?

Would love to see if this has gained any traction. He got one of my etsy listings removed. This is severe overreach.
