It's a foolish trademark and cannot be enforced. Religious freedom is an absolute right in the US.

I've been a practicing Heathen for over 25 years.
This is like trying to trademark terms like "Christian," "Jewish," or "Catholic."
Sincerely,
A card-carrying member of the actual Heathen nation.

I'm a true Heathen and proud to be. No one will change that. So that's why I'm signing this petition.

Heathen is the name of my faith. It's not a word someone can own.

Heathen is recognized by the military as a religion. I am a heathen. You can't trademark this.

This is ridiculous. How can a single person own the rights to the name of a religious designation. Next someone will trademark Christian, Jewish, or Hindu...this is an apalling abuse of trademark law.

Try trademarking "Christian" or "Jewish" or "Muslim" and see where it gets you. Idiots!

This is illegal. Heathen is a religous identity and a religious term. You legally cannot trademark it.

I understand wanting to protect one's company name but trademarking a common descriptor isn't really reasonable. (i.e., you cannot call yourself a "Christian bookstore" because I trademarked the word "Christian")

Dave Lancaster is abusing his trademark. Heathen is a religion and because it is, no one has a right to the word. If I choose to print a shirt that has the word "Heathen", I should not be sued for trademark infringement. The US government and armed services recognize Heathen as a religion, as well as many other countries. It's the same as if someone would try to trademark the word "Christian".

As a Heathen, his acquisition of the trademark for my beliefs and faith, is an absolutely disgusting affront that MUST BE CORRECTED!
He needs a real life
