OPPORTUNITY FOR TRADE MARK OWNERS TO GET AHEAD


Attention all you trade mark owners out there! Thanks to the BBC, the IPKat has found out about a unique advertising opportunity. Andrew Fischer of Omaha, Nebraska, is selling space on his forehead through auction website eBay. The highest bidder will be entitled to have his trade mark tattooed on Fischer’s forehead in temporary ink that will last for 30 days. However, he refused to bear any illegal or immoral signs. The money will be put towards Fischer’s college fees. Bidding eventually ended at $30,000.

The IPKat thinks that this is a great idea, though it’ll stop working if everyone else starts doing it. Merpel adds that perhaps tuition fees are too high if students have to sell their bodies to pay them.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
