There is still an inherent protection for the PTC brand. For instance if someone wanted to try and register as a trademark "PTC Frankston" or even "PTC" in a conflicting class, then Markos would have grounds to oppose the registration during the opposition period.
What most people dont realise is that registration of a trademark occurs in specific classes. So for instance it is possible to have "PTC Frankston" registered in the retail class and another company to have "PTC Frankston" registered in the religious orders class. (I dont remember the actual classes I just used these two as example).
Also, registration of a trademark with the IP office is nation wide, on top of that if a registered trademark is not being used by its owner, then any third party has grounds to oppose and have that trademark dissolved for its reuse. For instance is coke stopped making and trading as coke, I could oppose it, if I then wanted to use that trademark.
One last thing, a copyright is NOT a trademark.
How do I know this, because I have a registered trademark in Australia plus madrid protocol UK and US.
I don't hate neither. I have donated my time helping PTC Sydney in comps and recommended guys go there for coaching. This does not sound like hate to me.
I just fail to see why a gym over the other side if the country cannot succeed without being called PTC.
I reckon it could big time.
Surely you get why they are doing it? They would be probably be successful either way.
Trent explained it perfectly in his previous posts.
No I don't get it. Why Would you want to use his name. Makes zero sense up me. It's not a fast food chain it hotel chain. It's just a gym. There can be no expansion because you are an affiliation. Great way to hinder your progress should you choose to do do.
Anyhow I wish them all the success and I'll be sure to visit when I'm in Perth next.
