Hi all-
I think that Beatty's posting was what a lawyer (like me) would call
a cheap shot. The posting was:
*********************************************************
You have a new entry in your guestbook:
------------------------------------------------------
On your home page, as you scroll down and get to Some Maglev Links,
Under *NASA LARGE GAP levitator. Please note that the Term Levitator is
TRADEMARKED by Superconductive Components Inc....
The owner of the trademark has a legitimate concern that the trademarked
name might come into common usage and take on a generic meaning.
If that happens,
then the owner loses his trademark rights.
The classic examples are "aspirin" for
a certain chemical compound and "hoover" for vacuum cleaner.
So what the attorney
was telling you, perhaps as inarticulately as most 27 year olds
(I suppose) was:
DON'T STEAL!
Regards,
Jack
