Who's with me?Is there any interest in some small stuff?LanyardsKey Chain ThingysStretchy Bracelet Thingys

I'd agree with that. I'll brainstorm some tonight. Who has the rights to the site and the genvibe name etc?

All I could find:Nick SimkinsWriter, Editor, Forum AdministratorMichael KowdleySystem Administrator

No one seemed to care/claim any rights or royalties when I last asked mods about using the genvibe logo on things. I think as long as you get one of their sets of eyes on it/approval you should be good.CAMO, any updates on those vinyl decals? Just curious.

Just look for whoever has the MOST posts and ask him/her

Keychain would be cool. Not much into loading my car in decals though.

I agree.I already have more decals on my car than I thought I'd ever have But each of them are cool, so I guess I'll leav em for now...ESPECIALLY the UR decal on the headlight

Quote, originally posted by Blanco_Diablo »CAMO, any updates on those vinyl decals? Just curious.Good question. I've been like a chicken with my head cut off with school and the new job. The last batch of vinyls I had done FOR someone I had to go in and do the weeding and stuff myself, guess that's what I'ma have to do again. I think it'd be different with them if they had a larger, paid order, since they get swamped with the fair, school sports and bowling t-shirts about this time. I'm off after school Monday, I'll go in and see what I can do. I am anxiously waiting the result myself.

A quick search of the US Trademark database shows no registration for "genvibe" But since common law trademark/service mark rights are established by use that offers some protection to the owner", whoever that might be. Registration costs (trademark office fees and attorney fees) would run about $1,200, but it can be done on-line by an individual for probably $500 in fees. And GM being the (removed) retentive organization that it is just might oppose it but that would probably be a waste of money since this has been in use for almost 10 years. A trademark has to be something used on goods. A website could be a service mark.

Keychains would be sweet. I like the decals I have seen but still am having a hard time putting any on the car.

as a safe bet i would either contact Nick or Micheal via Email (if listed) or PM grant it they may or may not respon to a PM but everything is worth a shot, also some members here might still be in contact with the two a fore mentioned people.
