I feel we have the right to keep the word heathen for it has been used to describe us for thousands of years you can not be able to pataint a word that is older then anyone of us it belongs to our ancestors and their forfathers

I'm a Heathen. How is it possible to hold a trademark on that? It makes no more sense than a trademark on the words "Christian" or "Muslim".

I am a member of a worldwide religious minority. I am shocked that this individual was able to trademark the very word that describes us. It is completely improper.

The word Heathen is a religion term in any use or light of the word.

I am Heathen, my religion is not your slogan.

Getting a trademark on a spiritual philosophy is ridiculous, particularly if you do not follow this particular philosophy.

We are the non-converted people of the world, we are Heathens, a philosophy is never a trademark and we have the right to claim our rights

This trademark is a violation of religious freedom.

The term "Heathen" refers to a follower of a modern religion rooted it, the beliefs and cultures of old European Nordic peoples. This word is a proper noun with the same weight and context as "Catholic," "Protestant," "Buddhist," et al. Trademarking the word Heathen effectively erases the proper name of a community of faith. Heathens belong under the umbrella of the modern Pagan revival, which has been evolving and growing over the past 70 years.

You can't own the rights to a basic word, especially if it's a defining word of someone's culture

This is absurd! Our religion shouldn't be someone's trademark!

The word "heathen" was used many centuries ago by the church: of or relating to people or nations that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible. This was used before the 12th century. How can a word as used as commonly as it is to define a people/religion be copyrighted? It makes no sense whatsoever. This copyright should certainly not be allowed else craftsmen like me will never be able to use proper tags for our wares.

Common words like 'Heathen' should not be trademarked except for specific use cases. Trying to trademark the name of a religion and disallowing members of that religion to use that term is ridiculous.

You can't copyright a way of life.

I can only imagine the outrage if the word Christian was trademarked and threatened in this manner. This amounts to religious discrimination
