Let's see, on 9/11/1998 he warned publicly that A MAJOR EMERGENCY would hit DC on 911.

Now how did the great Sollog know that?

If somebody makes enough wild-ass predictions, eventually a few of them will come somewhere close enough to true that they can trumpet about how accurate they are, while ignoring all the things they predicted that had no relation to the truth.

That "911" prediction is not particularly impressive, other than the coincidence of coming up with that specific date (probably inspired by the "911" emergency phone number). Note that the original message doesn't say anything specific about what sort of emergency would happen; there is no mention of terrorism, and it doesn't even say what year the event will occur.

Anyway, the Pentagon is actually in Virginia, not Washington DC.

You said that you hired a Philly law professor to file two TM applications about a decade ago, and that you registered one of the two marks.

Interestingly, AIS has authentigraph.com and authenticards.com, and uses the registered TM Authentigraph. From the PTO records, in 1993, John Patrick Ennis hired a philadelphia attorney who is also an adjunct professor at Rutgers law school (across the river in Camden NJ), to file two TM applications. Authentigraph was registered Authenticard was opposed successfully.

Unless there is someone else at AIS who also hired a law professor to file two TM applications with a success rate of one for two, then you have identified yourself at John Patrick Ennis on those facts alone (assuming you have not adopted someone else's biography).

You have also said that you hire and fire Philadelphia's "best" attorneys. Indeed, John Patrick Ennis hired and fired attorney Charles Peruto during the course of his criminal trial, according to the Philadelphia City Paper.

So, which is it? Are you Mr. Ennis, or does AIS have a habit of engaging partners with virtually identical histories?

Oh, do you want to be sued for your statements that legal is Sollog?

Very good. The ritual cartooney. Since I am a mere Philadelphia lawyer, the cause of action here eludes me. Our "legal" certainly admires Sollog, and has said some very positive things about him. So, it wouldn't be a defamation action. (Aside from the obvious fact that defamation would require someone more than a pseudonymous "legal" persona to defame.)

I will make a deal with you, however. If you promise to keep Garry Anderson busy, then I won't mention Sollog again.

Yes, the "spam" oppositions are worth watching. The real problem for Hormel is that if registrations are permitted in other classes, then they lose a grip on potential dilution claims. Today software, tomorrow other goods, and then the day after that non-meat food products... That's what is going on in their mind - a slow chipping away of their distinctiveness by degrees.

I could see that happening, and there might not be much Hormel could do about it. A few years ago, they managed to shut down a satiric Web site called spam.net under the one-sided Network Solutions (pre-UDRP) policy that allowed trademark owners to get domains suspended regardless of usage or context. The site had tech-support anecdotes, nothing to do with food products (or junk e-mail for that matter), but they would probably claim to be using "Spam" in a whimsical way playing on its usage to describe online annoyances. Ultimately, they failed to renew the domain while it was under suspension (I guess because they thought it futile to pay for it if they couldn't use it) and it dropped and was picked up by Hormel; that's a shame, because a subsequent UDRP involving it would have been interesting.

Anyway, a possible progression of future products using the "Spam" name might be:

• A satirical publication critiquing boneheaded Internet marketing, named "Spam!"
• A series of collectible stickers, along the lines of "Wacky Packages", consisting of fake and humorous junk-mail pitches, sold under the name "Spam!", at convenience stores that also happen to sell the unrelated Hormel product.
• A novelty food product consisting of candy or cookies designed to look like pieces of junk mail.

At what point in this progression would it be considered an infringement of Hormel's trademark? If any or all of these are infringing now, what about 20 years from now, when a new generation has grown up knowing "spam" as the generic word for junk e-mail and perhaps not even having heard of the Hormel product?

 

[jberryhill]

At what point in this progression would it be considered an infringement of Hormel's trademark?

The uncertainty of an answer to that question is why TM owners behave the way they do. The fear is one of death by a thousand small bites, and it is not an entirely illegitimate concern. That is why Mr. Anderson's rhetoric about "corrupt" TM lawyers is simplistic and offensive.

Let's see, several people in AIS including me have been in business for many years (going back into the 1980's. We got together in the Philadelphia area. Many business ventures were started and many TM's were obtained.

TM's were obtained in the names of various people within the group 'personally' and were then 'leased' to the group via various entities that did business for the group. This was done to 'protect' the assets of the group, one of those assets being the TM. So a business could conduct business with virtually no assets, and if another 'business' had to be formed and one dissolved, it was easy to do with TM's being owned personally versus in corporate names that are started and dissolved all the time. It's called protecting your assets against stupid lawsuits by stupid lawyers who like to waste time filing stupid lawsutis over stupid things.

As you know from this thread, Sollog is just one of several within the AIS group. So anyone in the AIS group can claim an 'interest' within any TM the 'group' had created in the names of the people behind AIS.

Authentigraph was mentioned over and over in the PUBLIC FILINGS of a PUBLIC COMPANY that had its roots in software development in the 1980's in Philly. That company was a direct competitor of several AIS software companies. They tried to steal that mark by registering the domain name and trying to file a TM on top of JE aka Sollog aka an AIS partner.

They tried to steal the mark and use it in the same Industry in fact, that being collectibles. They failed. And guess what the domain name ended up right back where it belongs as an AIS asset via a lease agreement between JE/Sollog and AIS. Anyway, the mark is being moved into an international filing and several people will be listed as OWNERS including me.

Anyway, that is the minor history of that mark and there are other marks AIS uses for their products. I have some in my name, JE/Sollog has some in his and others had some in theirs.

I've had many civil cases in the Philly area, and guess what, shuffling lawyers is sometimes a strategy. I've done it in some civil cases, both in Philly and outside Philly. Guess who is doing it right now? How many lawyers have Jackson and Blake gone through?

If I remember the Sollog matter right from his discussions, he found out the attorney was a 'friend' of the judge. He asked to replace the lawyer who was negligent in his duties by not getting discovery Sollog asked for. The judge refused to grant even a 24 Hour extension for a matter that was 10 years old. So Sollog went and hired another attorney during lunch the first day. So the trial started with a friend of the judge as one Sollog attorney, the new attorney Sollog hired the day of the trial who told the judge she could not handle the case competently due to not having time to prepare and of course Sollog who was lead 'attorney' with the judges' friend as co and the new attorney as co.

It was an absolute joke from what I hear and according to Sollog and media reports most of the top philly lawyers were there. Did you hear Sollog actually had the Philly courts admit HE IS GOD in legal proceedings. But that was I believe a Federal civil matter.

Anyway, I'm not Sollog and I have an interest in Authentigraph as do several other AIS principals. So any statements I make about TM's do not prove anything. Since several AIS partners can lay claim to ownership of AIS TM's held privately for legal reasons by principals in the AIS group. I remember the meeting about whom to use to file that mark. At the time the person hired to do the mark was considered one of the best in the Philly area. From what I hear he still is.

I suggest you apologize for not knowing the details of quasi-ownership interests in TM's involving AIS that prove nothing in this matter, other than you like to fit things in their place which you can't do with JE/Sollog/AIS and others within AIS. Round pegs do not fit in round holes when you deal with AIS. We do things OUR WAY. For very good reasons.

Look at how much time you spent researching AIS and Sollog. Look at how many thousands of posts you made to just this forum.

Why don't you waste some time on your web site, it's an absolute joke and damn, your image or photo of you is sure UGLY.

Anyone can see what I mean www.JohnBerryHill.com

UGLY

This forum is not the place to discuss Sollog yet you insist on doing it. Authentigraph.com is now back in control of AIS, the name appears in the public records of a 300 Million Dollar company that bragged about using Authentigraph.com for one of their ventures. We got the name back and there will be an action against that company for using it and causing problems for the mark.

So you are ONCE AGAIN WRONG, the registration of an AIS TM to one of the founders of AIS does not mean others within AIS have no right to that mark. It is my mark as well as Sollog's and a couple of others. Registration of a TM proves nothing if you don't know the principals involved.

NOW SHUT UP ABOUT SOLLOG, others in this forum have no interest in him and you've spent far too much of your time researching meaningless garbage about Sollog and TM's and whatever.

I'm a principal in AIS as are others. Other than that who I am is none of your business. I BUY and SELL domains here. What do you do? Have you ever bought one domain here in your 1000+ posts? I can't find one domain you bought here.

I probably bought a dozen here this month alone.

Now SHUT UP.

 

[dtobias]

Did you hear Sollog actually had the Philly courts admit HE IS GOD in legal proceedings. But that was I believe a Federal civil matter.

Well, that should simplify matters for him... he can just send down bolts of lightning on all judges and jurors who decide against him!

This forum is not the place to discuss Sollog yet you insist on doing it.

It takes two to tango... and to discuss... and you seem to be doing plenty of discussion of this allegedly off-topic and uninteresting subject.

Have you ever bought one domain here in your 1000+ posts? I can't find one domain you bought here.

I've never heard anything to the effect that it was a requirement for participation here that you have bought a domain through this forum. This is a forum for people interested in discussing domain-name-related issues; they may or may not be interested in buying and selling domains here. My interest here is in promoting my view of logical structure and use of domains; Berryhill's seems to be to correct misconceptions regarding domains, trademarks, and the law (and maybe indirectly drum up business for his law practice by making his name familiar to people who might eventually be in such a dispute). Others have various different axes to grind, whether philosophical, political, or commercial. Many different people, with different motives, have useful contributions to make to this forum.

Actually Sollog has shown a proven ability to GUARANTEE exact details for rare 7.0+ quakes. So I'm sure he could level any city he wants. Last quake GUARANTEE he made publicly was for a KILLER QUAKE Xmas 2003, let's see over 50,000 people died in Bam Iran at 9PM EST Xmas day 2003.

Time stamp prophecy from before xmas 2003

http://groups.google.com/[email protected]

Let's see he also warned of an Xmas Plane Crash, a major crash struck that day, it took off from Benin's airport in Africa. Oh no, look Benin's is an anagram of Ennis or Sollog's name.

Just stop talking about Sollog and his name won't come up here.

Oh, a great quake is going to level Philly (why use lightning) and most of the North East seaboard, that's a famous Sollog prophecy. As is his quake prophecy for dual quakes to strike NY and LA at the same time. Maybe the Philly one will shut Berryhill up.

John> to build up a file of "enforcement efforts" to demonstrate they have been diligent in policing their mark.

Garry> This merely demonstrates "wild paranoia".

John> Garry, apart from the law, I am certain there are subjects in which your expertise far exceeds mine.

Sorry John - I think you misunderstood (my fault?).

I did not disagree that this would be taken as policing "their mark".

However, sending false claims to legitimate users (without checking first) can hardly be called dilligence - can it?

Demonstrably done without due care - just shows they are good at spamming like named domains.

Dilligence : Earnest and persistent application to an undertaking; steady effort; assiduity. Attentive care; heedfulness.

Garry> Mine is that it is NOT cybersquatting to simply own/sell a domain that could lawfully be used for different businesses. Do you agree?

Dan N> It's not only that it could, but also that it isn't being used in an infringing way.

Agree.

Dan N> If you had Xerox.com.... That sort of stuff doesn't meet the BS test.

Agree.

Dan N> "It always amuses me to see people with no apparent background coming up with simplistic answers and then getting into arguments with people who are known experts."

Garry> Am I being paranoid - or do you include me ;-)

Dan N> In this instance, you're being paranoid, as you hadn't posted to this thread and I hadn't seen you post here recently. But then if the shoe fits...

You have previously used such language (and stronger) about me - so not unreasonable assumption

Dan N> I've never had any company accuse me of infringing their trademarks,

ACPA or UDRP does not require infringement to take your domain name - ask John ;-)

John and I are currently discussing this - well, I am discussing and John is being evasive about it.

Corporations sh*t on the Lanham Act - to ignore accepted standards for "likelihood of confusion" used in courts of law - permitting them to overreach.

Sorry for language - but hopefully this makes it crystal clear to everybody what they have done.

Quote: 106TH CONGRESS REPORT - HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

TRADEMARK CYBERPIRACY PREVENTION ACT

Quote: "The amended bill goes further, however, in order to protect the rights of domain name registrants against overreaching trademark owners. Under the amended bill, a trademark owner who knowingly and materially misrepresents to the domain name registrar or registry that a domain name is INFRINGING is liable to the domain name registrant for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, resulting from the suspension, cancellation, or transfer of the domain name. In addition, the court may award injunctive relief to the domain name registrant..."

#######

They decided not to "protect the rights of domain name registrants against overreaching trademark owners" by leaving out the infringement clause.

 

[namedropper]

Is this the same SOLLOG who came here as CEO-AIS and owns Bill.com and was advertising iLaw.com for around $10 million?

Same one.

AIS is one pathetic guy with a criminal background and his poor wife/girlfriend. Even when he's pretending to be other people he leaves telltale signs. Insisting that he is God and ending posts with "SHUT UP" are part of his standard operating procedure. So is pretending to be a woman, talking about how great he thinks Alexa rankings are (mainly because he found a way to game the system using the toolbar), coming up with stupid legal threats and making insulting comments about other people's site designs (and have you seen 247news and AIS and so forth? pot calling the kettle black).

Some of his other common actions that I haven't seen yet here recently are the veiled threats of violence, proclaiming that porn sites are dead (his sites failed and he's god so nobody else could be making money on them if even god can't, right?) and calling people gay for no reason.

Everytime he has a new alias he starts out fairly rational, but that falls apart pretty quickly, like he went off his medication or something.

If somebody makes enough wild-ass predictions, eventually a few of them will come somewhere close enough to true that they can trumpet about how accurate they are, while ignoring all the things they predicted that had no relation to the truth.

Exactly. And at that Google Groups link he provided, you can click on the poster's name to see a whole long list of predictions that didn't come true as well as him threatening to kill all homosexuals and generally acting like the all around psycho loser he is.

"SOLLOG" also has the added benefit of a number of sockpuppets passing out things SOLLOG has alleged to say, and when one of his sockpuppet accounts posts so many wrong things that people take notice of how spectacularly wrong he was, SOLLOG just shows up on a new sockpuppet and claims the other person was an imposter trying to make him look bad.

He's been up to these tricks for years, it's a pretty standard scam.

 

[legal]

What pathetic BS. There are several principals in AIS, Sollog is just one. Seems Sollog is a great success. He has the ability to hire the top lawyers one after another, while most of you can't afford any lawyer.

Alexa is just a tool to judge a site, you can't fake major alexa rankings. AIS put five sites into the top 2K at Alexa after 911 occurred. Each site had Sollog info on it.

You can mock the Sollog 911 warning, but the link proves he hit the date and city for 911.

Funny how the FBI spent a ton of time checking Sollog out due to his proven hits.

Oklahoma City bombing
TWA 800
Diana's Death
911
JFK Jr's Death
Many major quakes

Sollog hit all of them and he has only make a couple of dozen 'prophecies' since 1995.

Funny how you all like to talk about Sollog

PATHETIC

 

[namedropper]

Yup, you're right, you are pathetic. You also predicted that Clinton was going to die during his presidency, and he didn't. The Pope was supposed to die back then too. You also predicted hurricans would land places they didn't.

Your "successes" are just taking extremely vague statements and trying to make them fit into things that happen later, and a lot of ones that just turn out completely wrong that you hide behind. You hype an extremely vague and technically incorrect prediction about something bad happening on "911" in D.C. in the entirely wrong year... if you had any clue you would have predicted New York or the Pentagon and the correct year. And then the FBI followed up because you spammed a lot of people claiming you had predicted it, and they declared you a nut and ignored you.

You still haven't explained why you thought you could get away with reversing your charges on your credit card payment when you joined here last time.

SOLLOG's latest sockpuppet = "ACCOUNT TERMINATED"

Thank you DNFORUM. I was beginning to wonder why it was taking so long to toss someone who was previously banned two times, the last time involving scamming money from you and threatening a lawsuit. Figured it was because of the change of owners and that it would take a little while to sort it out.

Of course sockpuppet #2 ("Goddess" - him posting as his wife/girlfriend's name) appears to still be active. Since she's the one with the credit card SOLLOG used to reverse charges on you last time around, that account should get canned as well. Of course if his IP address has been blocked then "Goddess" isn't likely to be able to post.

 

[Ovicide]

SOLLOG's latest sockpuppet = "ACCOUNT TERMINATED"

The "Legal Issues" forum is certainly not the place for his conduct, but...

I sort of enjoyed reading his posts, up to a point. His posts as "m0ney" and "ceo-ais"
were especially entertaining.

He used to register names containing zeros in place of "o"s, and post them for appraisal.
One of his favorite names was "g-0-d.com".

http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?t=19398&highlight=g-0-d

He'd argue endlessly about the value of those crazy names.

I couldn't decide whether he was trolling the forums, or whether he was serious.

 

[seeker]

so, all this stuff I just read, from this 'legal' guy is actually one and the same with the sollog guy?
he is the one with the predictions?
Why didnt he predict his account would be terminated?
