Use of the word "SoftWash" in the New Orleans Pressure Washing Class curriculum

I could shed about 50 points of info or maybe a Tm on this subject/person, but i swore to behave this new year and it really is not worth my time to try and get people to believe what they already know. The ones that don't know will find out soon enough.

So is AC not going to chime in here to show us where he got the wordmark??? Or does anyone not care and they are just taking it that he says he has it? AC? Can you answer this?

This is America and last time I checked we have freedom of speach here in America. I have used soft wash in my ads and still will. End of story!

Sweet!!! I am going to start up a soft drink company and call it Pepsi! I am sure it will be a hit, after all, this is America, and we have freedom of speech! Way to go James on the advice :thumbup2:
 
Still one word, tool.

Please do not use the tool in the same sentence as jeramy. I never said he was a tool, I said he is being used as one.

Huge difference is context , please do not mistake that again as its been clarified. Officially

Do not join the Uamcc anyone. President elect!!!

I think AC thinks he has it protected. If Michah changed it he won. I'm curious why are we discussing this?

Did he change it, shoot find out if he did. Keep using it, grow a set.

Jeremy you have gone way overboard with this topic are you a scared of running your business or what is the deal.Why do you make these comments and feel as if you are letting one person strike fear in the 1000 s of people on this board if you are intimitaded by this i think you should just let it pass.Has Ac tryed to get you to not use the word softwash in the terms that it would apply to you and your business.Come on man as they would say on sundays in the NFL.James probablycan give you some good sound advice and you are being rude and hypersensitive to a bridge that we havent crossed yet.Just do your thing and because the rest of the people on this board will keep doing what they have to run there businesses without fear.
 
It is NOT protected, just like his copyrights and trade marks are not. Somebody run out and get it done and sell them back to him.

Story: Back in 1966, there was AT&T and the Bell System, as one company. Thru somebody's screw up, The Bell System was never trade or service marked. There were 100's of thousands of phones in existance that had "Bell System" stamped on them along with 1000's of trucks, etc., when some college student discovered their mistake and applied for and got the trade and service marks. $2.5 M later, they were sold to AT&T. Expensive mistake for somebody that thought they had everything covered. Couls put a small guy out of business. LOL
 
AC, if you are reading this it might do you well to either show the wordmark and/or trademarks or just admit you put out a calculated bluff and it backfired.

If it's the former, then you are a shrewd businessman and some of these guys might owe you an apology for the false accusation.

If the latter is the case you should probably refrain from doing business that way because it makes you look like a tool. And an apology from you might even be in order.

John having a Home Improvement Lic is a good thing. I wouldn't work on a home with out it. As far as sales tax and a home Improvement lic. I don't see how they are connected. If you do repair work then tax is do. If you do a Home Improvement there is no NYS tax do.

Hey Art the problem I run into is that I advertise thru the yellow pages and until last year around 12 penny savers if not more. The comsumers affairs division told me they fine people they find out advertising without LIC/INS part of the money goes to contractors in need..which that is good but the rest of the reason to have this license is horse crappps for Powerwashers. I'll look into this because to me I've been wasting about $3200 all these yrs on this wasted license.
Another wasted cost I'll have to look into.

Then there are a lot of guys who have a lot tied up with that word with a really bad problem.
It's not that big a deal to me and my business or for the NOLA PW class but for anyone who has softwash in their company name, websites, marketing materials....

Now, if he's just a bald-faced liar that is a different situation altogether.

Then these guys need to cut him some slack on the accusations, he needs to learn some tact.

We all make mistakes or miscalculations. Its no big deal. Its all a learning experience.

Now wait a minute Tony...Who made a mistake or a miscalculation about this??? Thad was told by AC that he has the "Exclusive Rights" to the word SoftWash or softwash or whatever. Now I always give a person the benefit of the doubt when they make a statement. I believe they are telling the truth, which is what I thought AC was telling. Especially since he is a Distributor and a "High Profile" personally.

Mistake? Miscalculation?........No Tony it's either a Lie or the Truth....Period!

AC, there are people on here and elsewhere that want proof of the Statement you made to Thad. Please make this available so the speculation and accusations will stop.

If you made a mistake, miscalculation or lied then you should admit this. I respect a person that admits they're mistakes, and will have nothing to do with lairs that try to hide they're Sin.
 
I have noticed one thing about AC, and this is why I am so dogmatic about pushing for an answer, and that AC will not admit when he is wrong....he is always quiet, just like he is now. I know AC trolls this board and others and has people who notify him of what goes on. We learn from history, and history usually repeats itself. I feel very confident in calling AC a liar. How so you may ask? It's a simple thing called proof, and you can find the proof. Anyone can find it. Its called a paper trail. You have to legally apply (you can apply for a wordmark also, and it can be denied....a company tried to wordmark the term "waterfed" a few years back and was denied) and register for a wordmark through a government entity that has a search database....I know, new concept. Wait, you can do it yourself!! Here's a link http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4003:qsimtl.1.1 Type in SoftWash or any other variety of the word and I can't find AC or his company anywhere. YES THAT'S RIGHT, I AM CALLING AC A LIAR!!!! And until he will come on here and show me otherwise, his silence is proof enough for me.....thats his merhod of operation.
