In Reply to: Service vs trademark legal loophole posted by Karl on January 26, 2001 at 04:30:30:

: When two different entities own the same mark for
: differenct purposes (service vs trademark) there seems
: a flaw (loophole) in the law.

: For example, if "Creative Master" is owned as a service
: and as trademark, what prevents the service company
: from putting its service mark on goods (on the box)
: with a phrase such as "Crafted by Creative Master(SM)"?

: It seems you can essentially use a service mark as
: as a trademake on goods by stating you are a
: "crafter" or "marker" performing this service.

Dear Karl,

If you think your right, you had better go to law school.

Once you get out the next big shock it going to be how to reconcile the differences.
