Multiple Challenges

I, on the other hand, DID know that it was a trademark. As a result, I didn't mention it and make the schoolboy error that you chaps did.

So here is a tiny picture of me looking smug:

And I, having used the word jacuzzi many times without thinking about it, have now thought about it, and decided that I will continue to use the word jacuzzi whenever I want without adding the little 'r' in a circle. The jacuzzi people can come and sue me all they want.

So to recap... The potential claimant claims
1) He is silver
2) His hands drip mercury
3) He can make a light appear out of his hands, but only he can see it. And it only happens when he's in a Jacuzzi®
4) This light (which only he can see) has healing properties, and gives off an amount of heat which would be uncomfortable for a dry human being.

Have I missed anything?
Sounds like he has 2 possible claims there, which would be easy to test.
(items 2 and 4).

No doubt he will overturn our world views any day now.....

Only I can see the white light no one else. White is not the only light I see or use it is the only light I use when I heal people. Not sure if I mentioned this before im Silver and from my hands drips Mercury.

This has been bending my head for the past couple of minutes. Why did you post a message telling us that you weren't ready to post information? Why not just wait until you were ready and THEN post? Do you ever call your friends on the phone, tell them you want to speak to them but you're not quite ready, then leave them hanging there in silence until you feel you can articulate your message?

Yes. There is no potential claimant.

Be aware that the name Jacuzzi® is not a generic term, and it is against the law to use it here (or anywhere for that matter) without the proper designation as a registered trademark. (®)

http://www.jacuzzi.com/about/trademark.php

This thread has been brought to the attention of the Jacuzzi® company legal team and I urge all posters here to be aware of RULE 3 and 4 of your member agreement that prohibits "advertisments" and improper use of copyrights.

Carry on...

Just looked up the rules
3. You will not post any commercial advertisements.
4. You will not post "copyright-protected1" material in its entirety, including "hotlinking2" to images or other media.
They do not say that we must put ® after a trademark. So someone may get sued. We just cannot be banned for it... yet.

I'm warning you! If you say jacuzzi once more...

Right! Who threw that?
 
I think "Jacuzzi" is a lot like Band-aid or Kleenex. Technically, it's copyrighted, but it's become such common usage that nobody cares anymore. Some think that "iPod" will suffer the same fate.

To see how far such a thing goes, did you know that "trampoline" was once a company name, trademarked?

The word jacuzzi is so common that I learned it; I was suprised to see that they are actually called "whirplools". The German word is "whirlpool", and I thought that the english "whirlpool" would only refer to a vortex in water.

I don't recall where I picked that up, though.
 
troll

I have a power no one can see or test. Eventually, after many pages and posts I will blame the jref for not being open to my claims.

BAH
 
Maybe our troll friend was claiming that hesheit could heat up water only in an authentic Jaccuzzi™ brand whirlpool spa. It really doesn't seem much stranger than wearing a red robe or smearing pig's blood on a golden amulet.

Suffer the same fate? An odd choice of words. The marketing people at Apple would be ecstatic if people started calling all mp3 players "iPods." "Jello," "Kleenex," and "Band-Aid" are among the most successful products of all time.

yup, If someone said they had a whirlpool, I'd think they must have a river with an interesting current. Not some bubbly spa thing.

Referring back to the joke I posted, I still believe he just wanted to get a bunch of lovely young ladies together with him in a jacuzzi.

The Melbourne suburb of Sunshine was named after the
Sunsine Harvester Company - an agricultural machinery company.

Pity they are not still in business these days -
what fun we could have with trademarks in postal addresses.
