Yule is a Sabbath that I celebrate as part of my religious beliefs. To limit the word to a line of products, scented or otherwise, would infringe on my religious practices. The word it's self has been in use for hundreds of years as a specific time of celebration. Allowing a company the word Yule as a Trademark would be like allowing a company to Trademark the word Christmas. Either is not something that should be done.

Yule is a holiday celebrated by millions of people around the world. You can't own it any more than you can own Christmas or Easter.

You can't trademark a holiday! That's ridiculous! Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, could you trademark them? Same thing!!!

As a Pagan, I'm deeply offended that any corporation could or would even consider appropriating any of our holidays by copyrighting it

The word Yule should not be trademarked any more than Christmas or Easter.

Yule is an ancient and beloved name for the mid-winter festival. Many Earth-honoring people hold this holiday dear , even today. No one should ever hold a trademark on another's religious holiday.

You cannot trademark a word that is already used to denote a specific religious holiday, in use by current religions.

Holiday names should not be copyrighted nor should they be patented. You would allow this to happen to Easter, Christmas, or Independance Day.
