I've called myself a heathen and referred to my spiritual beliefs and practices as heathenry for a decade now. Going after people for use of the word is megalomaniacal and ridiculous.

You don't own peoples' faith that existed before there even were trademarks. Sorry, simple as all that!

The word Heathen is a religious denomination also called Asatru. It's far older than this idiot trademark. It's ridiculous. Please make it stop.

This case shouldn’t even need a petition, one would assume it’s very open and shut. If this behavior is allowed- what will that open the doors to in the future?

This word belongs to the Norse pagan community and is a term used to express our religious standing. It should never be trademarked so that people can’t use it in their craft. There are real heathen craftsmen that put their heart into their work and claim heathenry as their religion and they should not be getting sued for using that word.

If this man is unable to compete in a competitive world, then he should shut down his business and liquidate his assets. Such unscrupulous business practices should not be tolerated!

Heathen is a religious term. Commerce isn't religion. Terms like this shouldn't be allowed to be owned by companies.

This man doesn't/can't own the name "heathen". Just as he neither can nor does own the wind. This is insane.

Heathens are a spiritual group and line of people whom have lived to honor their ancestry and the traditions held. No company should have the right to bully someones faith in the name of money

Nordic Religion is different from those who use Nordic symbols to promote racial supremacy.
Please remember there is a difference

Heathen is our word not one to be trademarked.
