Well, I guess it was just a matter to time. Was contacted by an attorney today regarding the Allfix Branding. It seems there is someone out there that wants to get a trademark for the Allfix name. Granted, this is more then likely a Scam email, but the possibility of it happening at some point is a reality.
If this were to go through, then we would be required to rename the product to avoid Trademark Infringement. I am currently looking into this, but I’m sure as all of you know, this is a hobby for me, and I do not make any money from the use of Allfix. In fact everything for Allfix comes out of my own pocket. The cost for the servers, maintenance and everything associated with the operation of it.
So, I reached out to the attorney so that I can find out what would be required for us to get the trademark, as Allfix has been around since the 90’s, and have been established for that time. I know just the filing fees start at $350USD, plus then the costs of the trademark search itself and the other attorney fees with that.
Stay tuned for updates as I get them.
