While I might refer to 'my GP', think about it - trade marks are supposed to indicate the trade origin of goods and/or services. "My-" marks work just fine for that. "YOUR-" marks, on the other hand ...<BR/><BR/>In response to the VILLAGE VET TMs - one is plain word. The other has a device element. You cannot compare the acceptance of one with the rejection of the other (unless you think a dog with red spots is a 'usual' representation).<BR/><BR/>If your correspondent was going to be thick enough to ring up and ask for the number for "myGP", he deserves what he gets. I'd be asking directory assistance for the number corresponding to the name and location of my doctor. But that's just me, I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
