Unless you’re San Diego Comic-Con, you can’t call yourself a “Comic Con”

Bryan Brandenburg and Daniel Farr run the Salt Lake Comic Con, a pop culture convention in Utah. Back in 2014, San Diego Comic-Con sued those two and their company, Dan Farr Productions (DFP), for trademark infringement, claiming that by promoting Salt Lake Comic Con, they were trading on the notoriety of the “Comic Con” name in violation of trademark law. A jury sided with SDCC in late 2017, and awarded it $20,000 in damages. But SDCC went further and asked for a permanent injunction that would prevent DFP from using the “Comic Con” name in the future. In his ruling, Judge Anthony J. Battaglia gave SDCC what it asked for, ordered Brandenburg and Farr to paying a cool $4 million in legal fees, and seemed kinda annoyed with the defendants.

Geez, it's kinda sad to see what's supposed to be a "Nerd convention" so to speak, become so "power" hungry.

2018-08-29 at 1:18 AM UTCThe weird thing is I believe Salt Lake or Reno was the original location of the first comic conventions that became a generic use of the word ComicCon (even Sacramento California) then they moved the fucking thing to San Diego. but if they call themselves Salt Lake City Comic Con how is that an infringement? unless they're utilizing the same trademark insignia. then they are. but the name is generic as fuck.

don't act leveled. You're just a bad breath from that of a black-man, from losing your shit the, way you pop off with racist shit all the time.
I bet you're the type of guy who gets in line in a store and holds the start of the conveyor belt at bay with your gay ass until it's time to pay. and you probably always pay in cash by throwing it at the cashier while everyone is all crushed up in your ass, getting mad you wont move up some.
