Another producer named John C has Beatport putting his music in my artist page

[john c]

SO this really sux. This dude named John C also is putting music out in a kind of similar style as me and Beatport is lumping us together. I don't want his music ( lumped with mine. This is really annoying me. The song "Gain" is his. I messaged him and Beatport. Lets see what happens. I really an alias sigh.

[zarbizarre]

I had the same issue once with Cereal Killaz - someone had the Cereal Killaz name used as the name of the remixer for one of their tunes. I contacted my rep at INgrooves and told them about it, and two hours after I discovered it, they had the name removed from the song... dunno if that will help you tho

[Vicky]

if you do, then you're dumb :)

lots of people did when he first started putting out tunes and before it became public knowledge that it was pronounced differently, nujack.

[Perpetuum]

so who pronounces it ded-maw-five?


if you do, then you're dumb :)

You're only trying to find out who pronounces it that way so you don't feel stupid for having pronounced it incorrectly until last week.

[daniella downs]

LOL @ ^

[konversion]

http://allmp3.us/photos/vitamin_c.jpg

well, i said that right after vicky said something about george being gay, then she edited her post, hence the "i saw what you did there" response to her :P

i didn't say it that way, but i'm a nerd and know that something spell with a five generally gets pronounced as an S

[john c]

zomg thread hijack

back on topic: isnt it funny that you can't trademark your artist name?

[konversion]

[Perpetuum]

ok, per-pe-tum

[daniella downs]

ok, per-pe-tum

ok that also was funny.

[Rican]

well, i said that right after vicky said something about george being gay, then she edited her post, hence the "i saw what you did there" response to her :P

LOL she shoulda left that... woulda been funny... but only reason I asked is cause I was trying to think of another funny thing, John C could call himself and thought of John Vitamin C... which made me remember there was someone called Vitamin C already that was only around for like a minute... so I wondered if anyone else remembered to...

if that makes me gay, well then bring on the cock!

[konversion]

What?

i dunno. trying to spell out a mispronunciation. i remember when your first tune got featured on loxy, ink, or dylan's webcast (can't remember whose), you were all stoked that they properly enunciated all of the syllables properly: per-peh-tyu-um

[konversion]

if that makes me gay, well then bring on the cock!

hah, awesome.

[john c]

theres already a Vitamin DLW on this board. Vitamin C is too close to his name

and ps: konversion vs perpetuum, u have like 100 other threads where you guys rip on each other.

Per-pech-yewm. It's not really a mispronunciation. Just an accent. You're not good at this game. But you get an A for Effort. :D

hey, i've been going with the flow of the thread, aaron hurt my feelings... he started it :(

speaking of being gay...

[Perpetuum]

speaking of being gay...

What, you wanna fuck both of us?

[Rican]

If I was gay, I could do better than both of you...

Ethan?

[konversion]

fuckin' a, back to the eiffel tower again? gross. you sure do know how to show someone an awful time and how to ruin a thread....




back on topic, i'd say go with "johnny c" but my friend "jonny c" is already up there.

[Rican]

back on topic: isnt it funny that you can't trademark your artist name?

Why can't you? Seems like you should be able to esp. if your producing tunes that you are selling. It's basically your brand.

[| Bass Drop |]

Ethan?

:haha:

[konversion]

i thought you could trademark or patent an artist name.

[Vicky]

What, you wanna fuck both of us?

are you offering this up to them?

[Rican]

Ethan?

That wasn't gay... that was just being good roommates...

[Rican]

i thought you could trademark or patent an artist name.

Yeah me too. I remember reading something to the effect. I know if you have proof of performing in a certain area that someone else can't come in with the same name...

say there was a Rican in Chicago (which there is tho he goes by DJ Rican) and he was an established DJ... I could not be billed in Chicago as Rican... and visa versa...

[john c]

can you find this?
Empath looked it up and said you can't TM an artist name, only a product name

[Edan]

John, I have trademarked "Edan" and "Edan Everywhere" with the USPTO. He may have meant copyrighted your name.

[john c]

the Patent Office? really?

[Edan]

You can do a search for "Edan" or "Edan Everywhere" at uspto.gov and see for yourself if you don't believe me.

[Edan]

We also trademarked "4twenty4" and our logo.

<----

[john c]

I believe you certainly. But what is the "product" you submit to have a patent for?
I have 2 friends who work there also, so this is good news. Maybe they can facilitate it faster
and thanks for your input

[Edan]

It's a "goods and services" mark. Here's the wording for the mark "Edan."

Goods and Services IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: ENTERTAINMENT IN THE NATURE OF LIVE PERFORMANCES BY A DISC JOCKEY FOR PARTIES, CLUBS AND CONCERT-TYPE EVENTS. FIRST USE: 19940000. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 19980307

Here's the wording for "Edan Everywhere."

Goods and Services IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Musical sound recordings, namely, prerecorded compact discs, phonograph records, and cassettes, all featuring music. FIRST USE: 20020401. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20050501

[Edan]

BTW, I'll be happy to help if you have questions.

[Edan]

HAHA. Here's Scott Henry's, also a "goods and services" mark.

Word Mark SCOTT HENRY
Goods and Services IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely live performances by a musical performer, namely the playing of recorded music by a disc jockey. FIRST USE: 20030315. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20030315

[john c]

awesome! how long did it take? and whats the fee? $300?

[Edan]

It really doesn't take all that long if you have everything in order ahead of time. If the filing attorney has questions they contact you stating you need to submit more evidence of the use of the mark or more information about how it's used in commerce. Also, if it closely resembles another mark it could take longer for you to clarify to the attorney how yours is not in conflict with the other. You'll need to submit samples showing the mark as a good or service (fliers, cds, records) are really good examples.

Unfortunately you'll need two separate marks for recording artist and live performing artist. Bummer.

[Jay Selway]

I just trademarked John C.

BURN!

[john c]

John C. != John C
WIN!

[Master Miguel Lush]

There was a house production duo from Chicago called No Assembly Required that got sued by some rock band from Canadia because they had the name trademarked....
random fact.

Their tunes (the house duo) rocked!

[Adam Ely]

I agree John. Trademark!

I am getting mine done this summer just in case.
