What would happen should I decide to break up a trade marked piece? -Walter Branch ________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "mark ford" <markf_at_ssl.gb.com> To: <meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 4:21 AM Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] RE: Self-Proclaimed Pairing Issues Hi, This pairing argument/debate is one that has been going for years and years, and will most probably continue way beyond all of us. To my way of thinking It will never be solved unless every single rock that is found is analysed by a competent body and given a serial numbered cert, that is clearly not going to happen unless someone opens a massive meteor lab complex and makes a commercial charge for classification, This would also require a complete overhaul of the classification process, and probably wouldn't be practical. So by way of a constructive suggestion, why don't dealers just trademark their classifications? It would work like this: Dealer gets the rock classified, a number or name gets issued by the Nom Com et al. Then the dealer registers it as a trademark, so anyone who sells the material under that name (or makes a claim that it is the same) would then be breaking the law, as they are trading under someone else's trademark simple. - A commercial trademark belongs to the person who registers it, not the person who names it. Just a thought...
