How this man has been allowed to buy these words and use them for everything that is not the true meaning of being pagan or heathen is unbelievable. As a pagan nysejf I want no part of a loving and peaceful faith to be used in conjunction with racism.

My religion and lifestyle should not be able to be copywritten or trademarked by a private company. It's flat out insulting.

The word "Heathen" is a common use word and is utilized for a plethora of religious/spiritual, secular, and small business/e-commerce reasons. Trademarking this word is the equivalent of trademarking the words "Christian" or "Muslim."

As a a Heathen I’m offended a non- practicing person has trademarked a word that was used for centuries to define a non-Abrahamic religious path.

Allowing the Trademark of a protected identity under US Law (religious) undermines the freedoms promised to every US citizen. This oppresses an entire religious group from being able to express that identity freely. A clothing company would not be able to trademark Christian, Muslim, or Jew. The USPTO cannot permit the trademark of Heathen without prioritizing some religions over others. Please remove the rights to this company and do not permit anyone else to trademark Heathen, Heathenry, Asatru, Forn Sidr or any of the Norse deities.

This is blasphemy. Someone should not be able to trademark a religion or a term used by the practitioners of a faith to describe themselves. Especially when it was used throughout history. It's no different than if someone was to trademark the term christianity and then sue the people of the faith for calling themselves Christians. It's not just insulting but an absolute disrespect.

I've had faith related heathen works removed by this man as well; his trademark is a direct violation of the first amendment!

It's ridiculous that a millennia old word is being used by someone it doesnt even apply to in order to shut down legitimate practices.

This is ridiculous. Heathen IS a common word that he did not invent and should not be able to trademark.
