I practice the heathen faith and the word heathen should not be trademarked at all due to it being religious as well as it being so general

This company has affected many individuals who produce religious heathen items . Me and my husband have personality been affected by in on our red bubble account. It was my understanding that this company only trademarked the term Heathen Nation and therefore in order to be considered a violation of it you would have to use that phrase. But we used Proud to be Heathen. And bc red bubble doesn’t deal with legal matters we are stuck . We unfortunately are not the only ones affected by this company and their technicalities or bending the rules of the system.

I think David Lancaster’s business should be shut down.

It is my understanding that you cannot copy right or trademark common words or phrases. This is ridiculous.

It is as ridiculous to be able to trademark the word Heathen as it is to trademark the words Christian or Muslim.

"Heathen" is a religious description that I and others use on a daily basis. "Heathen" being a trademark is outrageous and offensive! Please correct this matter. Thank you.

It is sad when someone can take away part of your faith and identity with a pattern.

The word heathen is not a bad word at all it describes my religious beliefs the thought that someone could be so offended by a simple word they didnt like is absolutely ridiculous

I had 2 designs taken down from my red bubble store, EyesofTerror. The featured a mjolnir and 2 ravens flanking the sides. Underneath in runic like English font it said Heathen. My design was my own and nothing like what David Lancaster sells. Him and his attorney used the copyright claim on the website to take down 1 black and 1 white version of the same design. This has caused some drop in revenue , since it was my 3 best selling design,l. Since it was taken down before the holiday months, I lost a significant amount of money.

Trademarking a common use word, let alone a faith that predates Christiananity is obserd. It's religious oppression to allow ownership of the name Heathen

Common words should never be copyrighted. They belong to the public domain.

As a heathen myself this is absurd. This should be protected under religious freedom.

This is patently* ridiculous, and his granted "rights" to this trademark should be struck down immediately in a nation that prides itself and is _built_ on religious freedom. You can't copyright or trademark Buddhist/Buddhism/Buddha/Jesus/Mohammad/Mohammed/Islam/Christianity/Catholic/Baptist or any such word for use in merchandise, to the best of my knowledge, but then, I'm not a scumsucker who tried.

No one should be able to trademark or copywrite a religious group of any name or nature. No one should be able to own the rights to someone's beliefs. No one should be able to claim ownership of ANY word in a standard dictionary.

What many do not realize is if ONE MAM can donthis to a religious group, what is stopping the next from targeting another like Christians, Pagans, etc.
