I read about it on Facebook but couldn't find an article. What has happened, how can someone claim rights to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they both have a case, be interesting to see how it pans out. I would have thought that Tartan Army shouldn't have been awarded in the first place, as it is too common, however you can't just use it as a T/A name if it has been awarded. Not so publicly anyway.

kirkintoddy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 This is madness. Making money out of the TA wtf ? Time we got rid of the tartan army name and call it something else to stop this grèed.Will Tamb now be sued ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle do nicely Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Always been annoyed by this, I can't see why Andy Cameron could use the phrase in a record (I assume it was copyrighted) then have it trade marked by someone else. Greedy Bastards pretending to be protecting the name in my opinion. Now excuse me I'm just going to TM orange army, azzuri and barmy army before someone tries to protect them with a Trademarked scarf collection, available at reasonable prices. Get yer hats and scarfs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueGaz Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 More than one person can trademark the same thing, as long as it is a different service or product. Suppose this being a group of football supporters fundamentally for both sides, it is the same product or service. Still gobsmacked they were able to trademark it in the first place.
