Don’t make up crazy stories. This overlaps a bit with the last point, but a few examples deserve special mention. When responding to a cease and desist letter, avoid blurting out, “Leave me alone. I have brain cancer, and you are making it worse!” Although this type of approach might scare off some attorneys, it can also be evidence of bad faith when it can be proved that the registrant does not, in fact, have brain cancer. Another technique to avoid is claiming that you are a dog, cat, talking horse, or other domesticated or wild animal. There is an actual case where the Respondent claimed to be a cat. It is an amusing decision, but he lost. :bounce:
