do you realize that the TM was applied for for Music Master way back in 2000 and was published for opposition in '02?
Do you realize that the term Musicmaster is currently open for opposition?
Now, in regards to Altlanta wedding entertainment. It appears this is some formal name used for DJ E. Has he registered this as TM or SM. If so, and approved, then that is a great defense to the demand for such restrictions.
Now you have to realize how stupid your arguement is about common terms being TM or SM if you say that Atlanta Wedding Entertainment is registered as such, right? You do realize that it may be a good idea to seek TM or SM protection on that term, right?
Speaking of TM and SM infringement and such; do you have permission to publish that photo of Byrd you are using on your website? Photos do enjoy copyright protection.
A lawsuit often asks for more than is rightously proper. You have every right to defend your position. The courts will decide.
I have to tell you that these entries of a list on the site you built are downright tacky:
Wedding Entertainment payment and cash tips
Reception vendors payments & cash tips
Bartender payment and cash tips
I will tell you that if I was looking for the type of services offered by DJ E and read this, he would go to the bottom of the list, no, actually, his name would be placed on a permanent "do not hire, ever" list. To solicit for tips is as low as you can get in my book. If I believe you deserve a tip, I will give it to you, even if it requires sending a CHECK after the event. (after all, tips are legally required to be repoerted as income so the check should not be a big deal).
To have somebody "remind" me to bring cash so I can tip them is the sign of a person I do not want to do business with.
