Hello Nathan Collier
Nathan,
I have followed your past dealings with DC and I can now feel your
pain. My wife has always refered to me and my Jeep'n buddies as 'Jeep
Creeps'. What other group of people will waive at total strangers
just because of what they drive? She always, still does, when I
return or initiate a 'Jeep Wave'. she then started calling us
Jeeples. Well, she decided to start a business called Jeeples. With
a slogan of "A different kind of people". She applied for a trademark
of Jeeples. We just recieve this today.
"We are trademark counsel for DaimlerChrysler Corporation. As you are
no
doubt aware, DaimlerChrysler Corporation is the owner of the JEEP
trademark. In addition to using JEEP to identify vehicles,
DaimlerChrysler
uses JEEP trademark in connection with other products including, but
not
limited to, clothing, baby carriages, and toys. By virtue of
DaimlerChrysler's long use of JEEP and extensive advertising, JEEP has
become a well known, if not famous, trademark entitled to a broad
scope of
protection or exclusivity of use.
It has come to DaimlerChrysler's attention that your application for
the
mark JEEPLES for clothing was published in the November 25, 2003 issue
of
the Trademark Official Gazette. On December 8, 2003, we filed a
request
for an extension of time to file a Notice of Opposition.
In our opinion, your JEEPLES trademark is confusingly similar to the
JEEP
trademark and likely to cause confusion. Accordingly, DaimlerChrysler
respectfully requests that you expressly abandon that application and
cease
any plans to use the mark. If you do not expressly abandon the
application, DaimlerChrysler will have no choice but file a Notice of
Opposition. Moreover, if you begin to use the mark on clothing,
DaimlerChrysler will not hesitate to assert its legal and equitable
rights.
We hope that this issue may be resolved on an amicable basis. If you,
or
your legal counsel, have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact
me."
At least I'm not out too much money.
I didn't think we would worry them too much as we are promoting Jeeps
in a positive style. You know, responsible off roading.
Oh well.

Re: Hello Nathan Collier
All of this stuff reminds me of the VWOA crap going on where VW is
having their lawyers contact people who are doing as little as just
displaying a VW logo on their non-profit website and telling them to
remove it. Sounds like someone needs to clean house at VWOA and Jeep
in the PR departments. Ridiculous.

Re: Hello Nathan Collier
In Germany there is no "freedom of speech" such as we have here. Both DC
and VW are German owned and managed. Perhaps those two things are related?
I don't see Ford suing every maker of those windows stickers with their
logo being pissed on.

Why are you giving up? You didn't lose yet. If you do nothing, DC may file
a Notice of Opposition. So what? it costs you nothing and them something.
