Re: Intellectual Property[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Kelly on July 05, 2000 at 05:25:45: In Reply to: Intellectual Property posted by Amanda on April 28, 2000 at 20:03:28: : Can a sporting event that has a trademarked name, i.e. Toughman Contest, trademark the elimination process of the event itself or does the trademark just include using the Toughman Contest name? I have been informed that the elimination is considered intellectual property. Can you trademark an activity such as the elimination process? : This company is requested that I pay them $5,000 to put on my event because it constitutes the elimination process which they state is intellectual property of thiers for over 20 years. If I do not include in the name of my competition the words "tough" could I get by with changing some of the "format" to have a different elimination process and longer or shorter timed rounds; would this still be considered trademark infringement? What does the Lanham Act have to do with all of this? : If I am not allowed to put on this event, please explain why we can have Wendy's and McDonald's both selling hamburgers or Coke and Pepsi both selling cola drinks. : Thanks for your help in advance.
