I am a Heathen...this is ridiculous. Christians can't trademark the word Christian so why can someone who is not even a Heathen (just a racist, which heathens are not) trademark a word describing out faith? Please remove this trademar. -sincerely, a Heathen

The word "heathen" predates modern English, and it is widely accepted in modern culture as a term for Germanic neopaganism. Allowing a trademark on this word to stand is not unlike allowing a trademark on the word "Catholic."

This is a breach of my belief system.
To say mmt heathen self cannot use the term of mutt belief system is the same ad saying the term Christian should be trademarked, abs anyone using it should be sued and told to stop calling themselves a trademarked term. It is ridiculous and highly offensive!

Heathen is a name for a religious/spiritual belief, so let me see the TM on Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism etc.

I am a Heathen, and I believe no one should be able to trademark, copyright or otherwise legally have power over any of our ethnic and religious words, phrases, quotes and the like.

Heathen is a identifying word for many pagans. Trademarking this word is like trademarking "Buddhist ".

Heathen is a common use word. It was first used by the Church to describe those that still followed folkways. Today it has been used as the descriptor for followers of various Norse and Germanic pagan faiths since 1987. This denies any sort of copyright to a common use term. It would be like trying to copyright Catholic.

You can’t own a religion or religious terms, names, and words. You can’t own Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindi, Buddhist, Shinto, Sikh, or any other. So you can’t own Heathen either.

I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Oslo with a PhD in the study of religion. Trademarking "Heathen" is akin to trademarking "Christian", "Jewish", "Muslim", "Hindu", "Buddhist". Allowing it means allowing the restriction of a fundamental element to religious freedom: the freedom of self-designation.

No company, no person, no country should be able to trademark the name Heathen or Heathens. That is beyond wrong, it's not only disrespectful and disturbing, its disgusting
