I've just heard through the grapevine that this was created as a protective trademark, to prevent the exact thing we're afraid was going to happen. An official statement from the CEO of the company will follow soon.

And the earth is flat.

Doesn't a trademark have the same rules of a patent, i.e. "prior art"?

Don't do anything. Let the company try and stop you.

In Germany they could stop me with a cease and desist i'd be court ordered to stop organizing an event until i can prove his claim wrong.

But as i've mentioned in my other post, this won't happen, it seems the good guys trademarked it.

Call it Distrupathon
