Firemonkey Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 That is funny stuff. You have to love the fact that they are lurking your forum and keeping their ear the ground. Even more that they felt threatened enough to preemptively threaten you As a manager for store that bought and sold used merchandise, I once ran an advertisement in the Univ of Missouri campus newspaper where I mentioned "walkman" as a generic term for portable stereos (this was the 90's, long before ipod became the defacto term). The following week I got a registered mail cease and desist letter from Sony, asking what reparations I was going to make for violating their trademark. I responded with a letter of my own, explaining that I felt severely chastised, and enclosed a copy of the currently running advertisement: The "oops, it should have said walkperson" sale declaring all Sony ® merchandise 30% off. Never heard anything more about it.
