No one should be able to trademark the name of a religious tradition, much less be allowed to sue others for expressing their faith!

How can a very old, commonly used word be trademarked? How retroactive is this trademark? Can the court of King James be sued for using BBC the word heathen the 1611 edition of the Holy Bible? Can I be sued for continuing to use an email address that I've had for more than ten years? What about my seven year old Cafepress shop? Just what is the time cut off limit?

You can’t trademark our religion. And I hear you’re a Christian? I wonder what YOUR god will think of this.

Heathen is a religious term for both myself and thousands of believers all over the world. It should not be a standalone term that should be issued with trademark protection.

No one has the right to claim my religions terms it is insulting to be told that some buisness has taken our term heathen which is exactly what we are and told its ours now we own it! No you cant buy christianity you cant buy buddha Allha or Mohammed but you sell our religious terms!!! . No one has the right to take it away from us. No right to profit and make a mockery of us.
Religious freedom is for everyone including us!! I do wood burnings and bow I cant use heathen made. Be cause it is made by me a heathen for heathens. That is my right because I am a heathen. But a bunch of Christians can buy our religions terms...
This is persecution. Insulting and infuriating. I am a part of a heathen community and we are over 6000 strong. And we will not rest will not go down quietly no will we stand for this blatant attack on us.

Heathen is my religion. It isn’t a trademark. That would be like trademarking “Christianity”.

As a pagan myself I’m disgusted at this person for putting a trademark on my religion. This is equivalent of trademarking the term Christian.

I hope this helps to increase awareness of the Heathen community and is a basis to further equality with other global faith organizations.

No one single entity can or should be able to lay claim to any word in previous existence. Especially a word associated with religious or spiritual beliefs that has significance to millions of people. Furthermore, many small businesses utilize the "trademarked" words for customers looking within that particular niche to locate their goods. Any act to impede on such is, in itself, an infringement of sorts. These words under question are for public use and are not to be owned by any company or individual.

This person is ridiculous. He cannot lay claim to a word he did not create, used by thousands and thousands of people, for his monetary gain. It’s selfish, unlawful, and stupid. Revoke the trademark,
My Heathen beliefs are not a trademark!
