Re: trademark or service mark?

THanks for all yr advcie and non-advice. I did register a trade mark
some time and it worked out fine and even when it was copied my lawyer
( had more money then! ) used the reg mark to sue for me successfully.
As I said I would if I could but legal fees are too high for me right
now and I was looking for some general information . I believe that is
what a newsgroup is for. I give lots of free advice in my profession (
designing electric motors ) without making somewhat pompous remarks
made in this thread ...
