Comment on Simple Issues Mondo Cease and Desist Over Safe-To-Spend Trademark

Comments

I don't believe this is a legitimate trademark under US trademark law. A simple description of a process is not protectable, as I understand it (this from being in a dispute and consequently reading a bunch of examiner filings.)

Money that is unencumbered is "safe to spend" and thus this is a phrase that describes a common industry state.

It's not under US trademark. It's European.
