This is a commonly used word to describe people of my faith and culture. It's like trade marking the word 'christian'

I’m glad I found this before I placed an order. I was trying to find out more about this company before I did. Don’t like what I’m seeing, thanks.

David's actions are clear violations of the spirit and letter of the law. I hope you haven't had the ADR session yet so this will count towards your fight. All the best

This is an ancient term used to describe people of my heritage and I am now being told I can’t utilize the word Heathen on my shirts because this man owns the rights. This man is threatening legal actions against me for utilizing a word that should not be able to be owned by anyone, heathenry is a belief system, religion and lifestyle. It is PUBLIC DOMAIN!

I think imma try and trademark "GOD Productions"... and see how well that goes over... I myself am not a Heathen... But for someone to be able to stake claim, to something that started, before they were even born, or a thought in there parents heads, just seems absolutely ridiculous, and constitutionally wrong, in my eyes... To everyone taking a stand in what they believe in, Good for you, and the best of luck, to the outcome, of something that shudda never been allowed in the first place...

This is a gross abuse of the trademark system, and no one should be allowed to trademark common words in any combination.

No one holds a trademark on the word Christian, nor should it be allowed that anyone hold a trademark on the word Heathen. That is a threat to the very religion for which it is named. No one owns a religion and therefore no one should own the name of a religion.

David, you are a shameful (mis)appropriator, solely for your own financial gain, part of a traditional culture which should be owned and shared by all of humanity, not restricted for use by one single corporation in an attempt to deprive others their rightful use and access to their traditional heritage. Shame on you. May your company fail financially as a result of this greedy act of trademarking what is a common word in the language but with special meaning to so many and then sending threatening letters to others who seek to avail themselves of their rightful claim to their own traditions and heritage.
