Heathens United Vs. Heathen Nation

Religious words should not be available to copyright

You can't trademark a common word..

It is absolutely disgusting that someone like David Lancaster can own a word that describes my religion, my ethnic background, and those of countless others. I've been a heathen for 10+ years and have never heard of this shameful issue. This man has no honor going around forcing artists to take down their work for using a religious descriptor word.

No trademark, domestic or international, of common words.

Heathen is a spiritual path and describes a faith that encompasses many people, and should not be trademarked and unusable by those of that faith.

Trademarking a word that is not only in common use but also applies religiously is disgusting.

We need to stand together against all forms of bullying

No one owns the term Heathen. It has been around for centuries. It is a religious term for non-Christians. Especially those who follow old Norse and old Celtic religious traditions.

The very fact that someone would trade mark a word like this that pertains to a culture, a way of life, and for some a religion is absolutely abhorrent. The word Heathen has been around to refer to my people, years before even the christians twisted it into an insult.

Heathen is a religion and culture. Not a trademark. It's as if someone were to trademark the word. American.

Hiw dare he try and trade mark heathen. Then have the gaul to sue others

The term Heathen is thousands of years old, and is widely accepted and recognized as a religious term for those who follow the old Norse faith and of similar, which is recognized by the US Government. This term should not by any means be trademarked or copyrighted as it is a religious term similar to Christian, Jew, Muslim etc, and should be protected the same as those other terms as well.

Trademarking the name of a belief or religion is ridiculous.

Capitalism at it's grossest.

This is outrageous.

Heathen is a religious term and therefore not appropriate to be trademarked for ones own profit. Furthermore, the individual holding this trademark appears to be using it to promote hate speech that grossly misrepresents the culture being appropriated.

The word heathen is much more broad than is being utilized by this individual. Most notably it is in reference to religion practice that are embraced by many including myself.

Revoke the trademark and fine the individual. It applies to people, NOT a certain individual.

I work in marketing and often generic terms end up getting trademarked but only in certain circumstances. The fact that Mr Lancaster is trying to sue anyone using the word in any kind of business sense is 1- insane, and 2-greedy af. The fact that his trademark hasn't been revoked already is maddening.

You can not trademark a religion. Back off of genuine Heathens following their path.
