Copywrite if a word that isn't uniquely yours is ridiculous

Heathen is a religious term. It is sheer nonsense to allow it to be trademarked.

A Christian would not be able to trademark Christian so we should have a right to our religious name.

Heathen is a religious term and should never be trademarked the fact this has been allowed is a disgrace and an affront to all heathens

It is a religious term no different than Catholic, Christian, Satanist, Muslim or Buddhist.

Even if this was not a case of Heathen being a recognized religion, it is a word that has been in use for a long long time and no-one should be able trademark this and thus prevent others from using it.

Heathen is a religious term and should not be copyrighted

First, it is outrageous to thing that any patent office would allow anyone to copyright so broad a term. Is this a way to make money now? Just pick words from the dictionary and copyright them and try and sue anyone who uses them? Second, the word heathen is used by people as a broad term for a number of Northern European religions and belief systems. Itis equivalent to copyrighting the word Christian, although I'm betting if this man attempted sonething like that it would never have made it past the patent office. Third, the man who has done this has caused untold chaos and damage in the heathen community and should have to pay reparations or damagea to all injured parties. I mean if this is allowed I'm gonna copyright the words Islam and Muslim if I can and start telling Middle Eastern people they cant say they are Muslim or that their faith is Islam anymore, and that they cant sell anything with those words. When these very angry people try to kill me I will point them to the man who copyrighted the word heathen and explain the whole situation. I'm sure they can take care of it if the American justice system cant. I am beyond offended at this man.

As a practicing Heathen, this is offense and I can not understand how it was ever allowed in the first place.

Just as a company shouldn't be able to trademark "Christian," "Jew" or "Muslim," a company shouldn't be able to trademark "Heathen."
