I recall seeing it in a Nailpro magazine years ago (before 2010) among the images sent in by professional manicurists. It's certainly not new so I still don't get how can they trademark something they didn't create.Zadidollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710548585368350489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662979501868077875.post-47025412002918880602012-05-07T21:08:30.241+01:002012-05-07T21:08:30.241+01:00Pattie Yankee posted Apr. 17th on her twitter: An...Pattie Yankee posted Apr. 17th on her twitter: Anyone that can help me out by researching any past press on #caviarmanicure associated with my name, plz send to pattie@pattieyankee.com<br /><br />Later in the day she then posted this: @MichelleMoody Gathering info.

What other reaction...wow, that is so pathetic. :P <br /><br />What other reactions already said is true: As long as the process of completing the registration of the trade mark hasn't finished yet, they cannot act on someone else using it. The down side is that it doesn't always matter who invented the manicure first, if the Trade Marks Registry allows their claim, they get it unless someone else objects (in this case f.e. Dashing Diva). <br /><br />The other things which I am wondering, is this: I think the trademark is supposed forbid other people to SELL other products under the name 'Caviar Manicure'. It doesn't serve to forbid all people everywhere to describe something by that same name, that would be impossible! So I don't think you could be sued in any situation... <br /><br />Bad PR, Ciaté!Mnemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424175171939060967noreply@blogger.com
