Heathens United Vs. Heathen Nation

No one person should hold the rights to a general use word. The word Christian can’t be trademarked. Why was it allowed for Heathen? The obvious answer is religious bias and it is illegal and it is wrong.

It is and utter disgrace for some one to trade mark any spiritual term.

This is unacceptable. It's equivalent to trademarking the words *Christian" or "Muslim". This should not be allowed.

Our faith should be considered and hold the same weight and respect as any other religion, like how christ or such cannot be trademarked neither should Heathen

I am a modern non-racist Norse heathen. My religion is not tradmakable. A clothing line should have never been able to do so and it is an affront to U.S. citizens to say otherwise. Please strip this ridiculous trademark from the insulting institution.

I am heathen

I support this petition.

As a podcast based on a religion heavily affiliated with the term in question, this is obviously a terrible precedent to set. How much to copyright or trademark the term cross?

I'd like to say a lot of things to Mr. Lancaster - none of them polite. However, I am a Heathen. I'll take the high road. Good fortune to Grimfrost. Heillr gefendr!

Some things shouldn’t be owned.

I am amazed at the very idea of trademarking a word! Heathen is a word that covers so much territory! The Heathen Nation needs to back off. I am a proud Heathen, so does that mean I can't call myself what I am? Ludicrous.

Absolutely disgusting.

I understand a trademark on their name as a whole but restricting the use of one word, that is fairly common, is ridiculous.

Heathen is a broad descriptive word and as such should not be able to be taken from us. It would be akin to saying "Christian" is now owned.

A faith-name or ethnicity cannot be copyrighted.

It's absurd to have a copyright on that word.

If you didn’t make up the word heathen, then you have no right to trademark nor limit its usage.

How you can trademark a word that has been around for hundreds of years is laughable, let alone a word that means so much for millions of others while you just want to use it to make money.

I find this man's actions offensive. "Heathen" is the term for the Norse abd Germanic Pagan religionous beliefs as ACKNOWLEDGED by the catholic church 1000 years ago when they went to war to stamp out heatherny in Europe. This man "trademarking" heathen as his sole property is ludicrous and akin to someone saying they had the trademark on Christian or Jesus. Heathenryis ALSO RECOGNIZED by the US Military and allows military members to wear their Thor's hammers in uniform. AND have a Thor's hammer on their headstone in military cemetaries. Because it is acknowledged as an ancient and a modern religious movement, this man has no right to trademark this term.
