k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"Wow. So Lifespan is amazingly cheap and Mathmos is so pricey that my ferrofluid lava lamp is actually less expensive! That's interesting. "
"mathmos range from £60 - £95 lifespan / lava world lamps start from £9.99 to about £49.99 thats for the grande size"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"I'm not sure if UK laws allow for the same type of thing. I know you do have crazy high VAT, but apparently that's not enough to stop it. What are average prices for lava lamps over there? Lifespan vs Mathmos"
"reckon we should do the same and stop the shipment of crappy lifespan/lava world pile of poop entering the u.k and filling are land fill sites up :-)"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"Mathmos is made in UK. I imagine it's as simple as Lifespan Brands made it pretty clear to Mathmos that if they shipped to US they would burden them in legal fees. (It's frivolous but lawsuits in the US are games of who has more money and…"
"cant see why they cant sell in the u.s, lava world. lifespan aint made in the u.s its china so whats the problem there being shipped from china to the states same as mathmos would be :-)"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"I think they've been using that term for awhile now. It's possible they agreed to not ship to the US so that they could keep using the term without constant threat of lawsuit. I think that's more of a back door type deal not made…"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"That's a good point. I don't believe they ever got a ruling in their favor on the issue while battling Mathmos."
"they tried to stop mathmos using the term lava lamp years ago claiming it was copyright, lava world or what ever there called dont own the words lava lamp, they do own the terms "cheap cloudy lamps" :-) and no one would copy them lol"
Shelly replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"I'm currently in Kansas City, MO. I dont Stay in One City to Long. My Husband is in Management for a Class One Rail Road.. Its fun experiencing Life In One City , and then off to somewhere else.. The Moving Company hates…"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"They do not have trade mark on "Lava Lamp" Only "Lava", which is precarious especially considering the situation.
Of course that doesn't guarantee they won't try to sue. I'm well aware of their battle…"
Shelly replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"I got you. But, on the Business side of this Dilemma, Lava lite still own the words, Lava lamp.
You will have to Stop using the Words Lava lamp on your website. Lava Lite just Fired Off a Warning Shot Letter to you.
Trust me,…"
k-nano replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"Lava lite did not pay Mathmos to use the words. They paid Edward Craven Walker for the manufacturing and distribution rights, which expired with the patent a very long time ago. Then they tried to enforce a serious of trademarks and copyrights in…"
Shelly replied to k-nano's discussion What is the trademark?"They own the Word lava lamp. Lava lite paid Mathmos to use the words.
