I am advised by Mark Hedges that Anonymizer, Inc. owns the trademark for the product name "Anonymizer" and at his request I have changed name of the tea remailer to 'Tea Remailer'. I believe I have made changes everywhere the name appears. -- ############################################################## # Antonomasia ant@notatla.demon.co.uk # # See http://www.notatla.demon.co.uk/ # ##############################################################

But they had better not offer the servce over here. In any case, it is a
trade mark whether registered or not.

Generic terms can't be trademarked. Did they provide you with the UK or European trademark number? If not, the claim likely is fraudulent.

I really don't understand this reaction. We asked Antonomasia nicely to
rename his remailer. He very kindly agreed. The Trademark registration has
been filed, but not yet approved. It is a long process.
