@justinamash Generic for what? There are many trademarks for numbers/years:
MJ's 23 http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=75778238&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch …
GAP 1969 http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85009864&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch …
@ProofofUse @RonColeman It's a generic descriptor for the year and events that took place in that year.

@justinamash@RonColeman You don't know what a generic mark is. Here's a good treatise: http://legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.com/law-products/Treatises/McCarthy-on-Trademarks-and-Unfair-Competition-4th/p/100027710 … I can offer cheaper options. -
@ProofofUse@RonColeman I understand it quite well. Thanks. I'll save myself the legal fees. -
@justinamash@ProofofUse@RonColeman Congressman, big fan. You’re wrong though. “1989” can serve as a#trademark http://goo.gl/Cma6cj -
@ballard_ip Thanks. On which point do you disagree with me? I've said she can trademark a "1989" logo and "1989" for specific uses/contexts. -
@justinamash If you agree "1989" can serve as a TM "for specific uses/contexts" then that's correct. Seems like you said something different -
@ballard_ip@justinamash Yes, he shifted his stance and altered his words when he realized he was losing the argument. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip Not correct. The question was: Should she be able to trademark her birth year? Without caveats, the answer is no. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip I stand by all tweets: 1. Number itself too generic. 2. "1989" logo okay. 3. "1989" for specific uses/contexts okay. - 4 more replies
