Symbistock is now owned by a single person. Goodbye independence!
Even if it should be successful it is now easy for the big Agencies to buy Symbiostock and close it.

I think Symbiostock now is death.

--- End quote ---

the trademark registration process has been opened, now there will be a period where everyone using Symbiostock on their sites can file a dispute and prove prior use of the trademark.

Also note that ONLY the new Symbio-Plugin version and only this particular WP Plugin under that specific name (IF registration is successful at all) will be affected and/or vulnerable to agency buyout and similar!

Anyone traveling in the overall direction of the Theme-based solution will be just fine.

Some good came out of the SymbioStock trademark. Murarka, which means Flu and Head Cold in Hausa.

Jo Ann Snover:
I don't know anything about trademark application rules, but reading through the seemingly endless description of where this trademark applies, it includes:

"... Software for processing images, graphics and text;..."

Isn't that so broad and general that he can't succeed?

Mostly I'd like to ignore him, but I don't plan to change my site right now, so I don't want to alter the references to Symbiostock that I have. There's no sliced-up hummingbird anywhere on mine though, so perhaps it doesn't matter?

cascoly:
he's already LIED in his application --

First Use Anywhere Date

2012-12-02


First Use In Commerce Date

2012-12-02

==================
his claim is for the hummingbird mark & name, and that didn't appear until recently - so he's claiming the trademark for the 2 years he had nothing to do with symbiostock
