Well, sometimes that means that I’ve finally figured something out, or maybe gotten a clue on something I was being pretty clueless about – but in this case…..
I want you to look at my header banner picture up there --- yes that one…top of the blog.
Do you see anything different? Look closely!
I’ve had something in the legal process for what seems like months and months and months now, and it’s true…it HAS taken that long.
The registration with the filing of my QUILTVILLE trademark is FINISHED.
This letter just in from my lawyer:
This means that your trademark has gone through the process, and is now formally enforceable against infringing parties.
You can now put a Register “R” symbol next to the QUILTVILLE name wherever you advertise
it.If you know of anyone who is infringing on your QUILTVILLE trademark rights, please let me know and I can schedule a time to
discuss Cease & Desist options that might be available to you. Please keep in mind that you can stop others with similar services whose names are confusingly similar to QUILTVILLE, not just the “QUILTVILLE” itself anywhere across the United States.
This is probably the best thing to happen to me in a long while. And it’s a quiet hoorah because there isn’t any infringing going on at present, but still, this was a necessary step in protecting not only myself, but the name of my business.
I have celebrated by putting the Circle R here on the blog, AND on the banner of my website.
Oh happy day!
I’m off to the chiro to find out who won those hershey’s kisses --- Oh, I hope it’s me!
EXCELLENT!!!!! A big hoorah, from up North in Canada!!!

I can't imagine that any one would steal a name. but if you give it value and people look to it as a symbol of good things I guess some idiot would think that they deserved to benefit from your hard work. Glad you nipped it in the bud. Congratulations on Quiltville getting registered.
