You can't register a trademark for the sole purpose of blocking other's from using it. They will allow you to file extensions though--and that probably depends on proof or so...but this stuff is better for a trademark attorney.JRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028363896728357260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-2226042482497375102015-12-17T11:19:21.051-05:002015-12-17T11:19:21.051-05:00Oh yeah, forced formulaic retractions.

Doubly delicious that the retraction is almost certainly triggered by implied threats entirely along the lines of what it's purportedly denying.<br /><br />GG, legal profession.
