There are terms used as descriptors of a religion and heathen is one of them. Heathen is a term in line with Christian, Muslum, etc, and should not be limited for sales use to any one company.

This is ridiculous! Its an outrage! Does he even know how many times a day people of pagan belief, in all its branches refer to themselves as heathens? Greedy for money, that's all this is.

Amanda, message me or Mike on Facebook. I’m taking legal action against him and looking for others who have had products deplatformed by his agents. And thanks for coming forward.

A word that denotes a faith held by diverse peoples cannot reasonably or fairly be trademarked by a lone business. "Heathen" is part of our lives, our public discourse and our identities. Copyrighting it is, to heathens, as absurd and impractical as copyrighting the word "blue" or "thin--" it is nothing more or less than spiteful bullying.

As an Australian based Heathen, I find it offensive for any individual or entity to create an exclusive copyright on the name of my religious practices.
The term Heathen has been used in recent times since the 1970's globally as a term for those following the tribal and cultural beliefs originating in North-Western Europe.
Historically the term was applied by early Anglo-Saxon Christian converts to those who had yet to convert to Chirstianity. As such this word dates back to at least the 6th Century AD.

Heathen is a word given to folks that suffered persecution because they refused to convert to a foreign faith that had nothing to do with their own ancestral and cultural traditions. Many literally gave their heads over to a guillotine to keep their faith.
Us Heathens demand all due respect for such a brave act in honoring our ancestors, and petition the idea that any one person should selfishly claim this word as their own invention.
In my educated opinion concerning my faith this is nothing less than stolen valor.
Furthermore, and even worse the said person claiming this patent is not even of the faith which adds insult to injury. I am sure this person hasn't claimed a 501 c 3 tax exempt status as a religious institution like the organization that I was ordained under.

As a religious scholar, a religious identifier should not be copyrightable - “Heathen” should not be able to be copyrighted anymore than “Muslim” or “Christian.”
