Be annoyed at people that actually harangue you and not with someone who wasn't at any point ridiculing or rude to you then sheesh.

It works because they are both trademarked names. For these purposes, there isn't any difference. But fine, we can change it to Coke- a generic term used to describe soda in certain regions of the U.S. Decriptive trademark is a catergory of trademark that has been used a lot (Play-doh, All-Bran, etc) and is legally…

Well, you've been given the sources. Go fact-check if you feel the data is not reliable.

Neither do I? Which is why I asked your thoughts on trademarking law are, not baked goods. Chill out.

Didn't you know? "Social services" monies are now paid out in candy. Because that's what social services covers. Candy.

Huh. I've joked about this with my boyfriend in a "wow this is an absurd thing that even a full on lunatic wouldn't say". But on the hand, pull yerself up by yer own dern bootstraps and get a job you lazy ass nine year old!!1! 1

Copyright and trademark are two very different deals. As it stands, Rounds could sell their food under a different name however, renaming the product specifically to #notacronut is not guaranteed to protect from further infringement. While parody does get leeway, the more commercial a product is the less likely it is…

Just wanted to add, every one of the doctor offices I've ever visited had ONE or maybe two bathrooms. I've been in waiting rooms with people who had diarrhea and vomiting. The choice is then between having a mom occupy that one bathroom for the duration of her baby's feeding or having that space freed up by letting…

And they still can. Anyone food establishment can. They just can't list/advertise it as a "cronut" specifically. The term is trademarked, but the item itself is not copyrighted making it legal for anyone to make and sell a donut-croissant hybrid provided they call it something else. You'll notice the cease and desists…

I used the word "inventor" but I should have said "phrase coin-er". My bad on the ill chosen wording. But anyway, trademarking concerns naming/branding and I think people are conflating it with copyright which concerns ideas. Croissant-donut hybrids aren't copyrighted but this particular name for it is. So the cease…

Out of curiosity, if you think some cease and desist are okay, why not this one? Cronut isn't really part of common parlance seeing as it's like, a year old term so what's the issue with the inventor sending or a cease and desist?

The OP didn't specify Jezebel's position, much less the commenters' so why are you discussing this whole new thing? They were addressing the tendency of our nation as a whole to want to shift blame for rapes from the perpetrators to the victims. Do you contest the validity of that point or did you just feel like being…

"So long! Farewell! Auf wiedersehen! Goodbye!"

No I didn't, you're being intentionally thick. Or, of course, you might just not actually know any history. Hitler didn't have an opinion on abortion the way you try to act like he did. It had nothing to do with undesirable *people*. Hitler considered only healthy, Aryans to be people as they could contribute to the…

Says the man whose big proof that evolution isn't real is that there are no animals called "crocoducks".

Perhaps people missed that lesson on maps because *insert any disease with 3 +syllables here*.

You said New New York and yet no Futurama references. I... but... how could you do this to me?

Nope, Hitler was most certainly not "pro-abortion". At least, not in the way you seem to mean. He actually believed that the state owned all Germans and it was their duty to pump out Aryan babies. Like, there were stud farms for this purpose and healthy Aryan women weren't allowed to abort. He was fine with…

Scientists tend to be people so no one was claiming you can make babies absent humans. Although, you can just have robots tinker with some sperm and egg, throw it in a test tube and viola! Robot-made humans.

So now you're saying your original point is that I was praising the wrong people for casting a black man as Johnny Storm and now I'm mad there's a black man cast as Johnny Storm? I accept your concession that you have no idea what the original topic was. Good try and good day.
