[asterisk-users] Mountain ahead of me!

[Martin]

First of all I may be wrong ... I'm certainly not a lawyer. But for my
own sake I did a trademark search
for General Electric to learn more since you show I'm ignorant about
that matter...

1st result says:
DESIGN PLUS WORDS, LETTERS, AND/OR NUMBERS

Can you read ? It says their logo PLUS words GE ... wow I can use GE
for my own purpose and they can't do anything.

2nd result
GE - STANDARD CHARACTER MARK

Wow ... I briefly went through all of it and I don't see "GENERAL
ELECTRIC" as being a trademark.
Yes, "GE" is a trademark since it doesn't mean anything in regular vocabulary.

And I did try to trademark something composed of two words and they
refused. So it seems I know what I'm talking about.
