The identifying word of hundreds of thousands of Norse Pagan practitioners should not be trademarked. Especially by a racist and a non-Heathen.

This is absolutely ridiculous!! The word heathen predates the English language, there is no way someone should be able to trademark that word or any word for that matter that they have absolutely no claim to.

How can a word like this be trademarked? So you can trademark Christian, Jewish, Buddhist? This is so wrong!

As Heathenry is my faith, I vehemently appose the term “heathen” being trademarked in any way.

Trademarking the name of a religion should never be acceptable.

This is a disgusting abuse of the law in order to directly affect the lives, religious freedom and identity of a whole subculture

As a heathen myself I cannot see how any single person or entity can lay claim to the word any more than any other religious system of belief. Heathenism is an expression of the unique biospirit inherent in each if the peoples of the world.

This is a gross negligence of the Copyright law being overabused. This company is not going after a specific word written in a specific font or in a specific design, but they seek to claim the entire word as a whole that is a religious description for many throughout America and the world. As far as I know, no company has claimed the word Christian or Jew, but Heathen is okay? There needs to be a bit more specific variation or no right to claim at all.

Heathen is not only a word but a religion. How can you trademark such a thing. Ridiculous.
My spirituality isn’t your profit

You can't copyright someone's religion.
It’s a common use word.
