Support NeoGAF

[PsychBat!]

Fucking amazing....

 

[Squishy3]

This is phenomenal.

 

[BassForever]

Bwahahaha

I can't wrap my brain around this

What other new things can we say looks like an old thing? Lets get more GAFers mentioned in court documents

 

[TechOne]

 

[SwiftDeath]

haha a neogaf user saying "Damn it I was going to say that" is evidence in an official lawsuit

America for you

So have those neogaf members been notified that their statements are being used as testimonial?

 

[MThanded]

Not sure if we should be proud or embarrassed that Neogaf is being used as evidence to defend exxon.

 

[Orbis]

This is probably the best thing ever.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Motion to call PopGAF to the witness stand.

Good lord man, are you trying to get the case thrown out?

 

[dmr87]

 

[xenist]

Hey judge! If you're reading this, Exxon should lose. Remember, FX shows Louie. They're clearly more deserving to win.

 

[ZedIndyLil]

Pretty funny.

But what is heapershangout.com? I'm looking at it and I still don't know.

 

[fallagin]

Wow, that is goddamn amazing

 

[Mudkips]

Contempt of court, now you going to jail.

Hope it was worth it.

I do not recognise the authority of a court that hangs the gold fringed flag. A flag with gilded edges is the flag of an admiralty court. An admiralty court signifies a naval court marshall, I cannot be court marshalled twice. That is all.

 

[MThanded]

Motion to call PopGAF to the witness stand.

This must be for the inevitable Alecia Beth Moore(Pink) v. Miley Cyrus case.

 

[McDougles]

Says a lot that a lawyer was able to find a similarity based off a 6 month old NeoGAF post rather than finding the illusive FXX channel and its logo on their cable box.

 

[maquiladora]

Amazing.

Will this thread be used for the appeal case?

 

[Bullza2o]

Gungho was ok, but hateradio's comments being cited made me laugh. lol.

 

[syllogism]

One of the elements for determining whether the trademark is confusingly similar is any evidence of actual confusion by consumers, so it's not surprising at all that an Internet post is being cited. That's also why I think that it's likely that the post was found via a Google search; searching for evidence is certainly a routine step.

 

[jon bones]

damn. we're pretty cool, guys.

 

[BluWacky]

It's not about that. The lawyers have to prove that there is a likelihood of the trademarks being confused. The anecdotal NeoGAF evidence proves that far more than just looking at a logo.

There will probably be elements of the lawsuit that also talk about the fonts, the angles etc.

 

[braves01]

I love this.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

3DS version

 

[Cat Party]

Does this mean I can start billing for the time I spend on GAF as research?

Same thing happened with the Kevin Butler/Firestone case. GAF wasn't specifically called out, but it did mention "confusion" on gaming sites.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

as someone who looks at logos for the patent office daily (well not this week- thanks congress) I can see Exxon losing this battle easily.

 

[Mononoke]

I just did a quick search to try to find a better explanation. I think it would fall under this:



If it's allowed to be overused, there could be risk of the trademark becoming generic and thus unprotected.

Thanks for the reply. This certainly clarified it a bit more for me.

 

[The Technomancer]

You know what's hilarious?

The rest of hateradio's comment was

Damn it, I was going to say that.


Awful name, awful logo, but I hope the content remains good.

(emphasis mine)

 

[hairypeckpeck]

and here i thought only the videogame industry was interested in the site...

 

[Kevtones]

This is seriously fantastic.

 

[FYC]

Coming soon to Supreme Court decision near you:

User "ShitlerGokuBongHits666" argues that "estoppel as applied to the doctrine of civil tort is straight up gay as hell, yo"

Post made me draw this

 

[hateradio]

GungHo and hateradio to appear in court!

Everyone I'm sorry it was a dumb joke

 

[Captain Tuttle]

This made my day

 

[140.85]

Bwahaha. This made my day.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

ExxonMobil to sponsor NeoGAF confirmed?

 

[RoboPlato]

I want a lawsuit involving CBOAT comments to happen. Imagine them saying that username in court and having to read those posts.

 

[Lijik]

i dont know whats more incredible, this event or gungho's and hateradio's new tags

 

[hateradio]

I'm still shocked that my user name is on some legal document.

I guess all those new logo threads should be taken seriously.

Are... you nervous? You won't lie when you go to court right?

I can now see into forever.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Post made me draw this

Noticeable lack of bong hits.

 

[Strike]

This is hilarious.

 

[Aurongel]

This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen on GAF.

 

[Jamie OD]

And some people have the gall to say NeoGAF has no influence.

 

[User 100115]

This means that someone high up in Exxon is a Neogaf user right?

Cause...yeah.

Hilarious.

 

[hateradio]

Why would they bring me to court? I could be in Zimbabwe for all they know.
