      @ProofofUse @RonColeman That's consistent. Number itself is too generic, just as "Apple" is too generic outside specific uses/contexts.

      @justinamash @RonColeman Yes, APPLE is generic for "apples." What is 1989 generic for? Please be specific as to the uses/contexts.

      @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.

      @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

      @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.

          @justinamash @ballard_ip Congressman, any time a tm is granted is for specific uses and contexts. No one asked for actual rights to a year.

          @claypar111 @ballard_ip Exactly. And that's why I replied with "No."

          @justinamash @ballard_ip Very generic response to a question that you ultimately have no say in.

          @claypar111 @ballard_ip Yeah, my one-word reply was mostly intended to be funny. Media thought it was serious and made a bigger deal of it.
