Real Heathens protest. A great deal of this person's products are racist and not truly Heathen at all. It's disrespectful to those who practice Heathen religions.

This is religious discrimination via the patent office. They would never even consider a patent on the words Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Jewish.

If they can 'patent' our very food this is just a monstrous extension of that vile attitude.

I stand behind the removal of the trademark for the word heathen. It is a word that has been around for a thousand years and not an original name of a company. Any word that is in the dictionary should not be able to be trademarked.

No one person or company should hold the trademark on a word that represents the spirituality of so many people around the world and should be compared to and held to the same standard as the word "Christian".

Heathen is an identity name for my people. It's how we identify others who follow our gods. It would be like trademarking Christian.

This is blatant theft of my family anestry's belief system, religious ways, faith and spiritual values and virtues. Worse is the diametrically opposed views this Heathen Productions espouses as to ours. They spread hate based sentiment and that is not the Heathen way. Its a gross misrepresentation of our spiritual being in life. It is making money from our faith, relion, way of life that is ancient and precious.

Heathenry is my faith and I have a right to practice and utilize its associated terminology without fear of persecution. It's that simple.

Heathen is a religious term and is not something to be trademarked. It is no different than the title “christian”

Trademarks are needed so people can't steal someone else's business or idea. Trademarks can not be allowed to be used to make money every time someone uses a word. Trademarks should protect not provide a path to hurt others and obtain money.
No
