Woman Trademarks Name and Threatens Sites Using It

Posted by samzenpus on from the keep-my-name-out-of-your-mouth dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Be careful mentioning Dr. Ann De Wees Allen. She's made it clear that she's trademarked her name and using it is 'illegal... without prior written permission.' She even lists out the names of offenders and shows you the cease-and-desist letter she sends them. And, especially don't copy any of the text on her website, because she's using a bit of javascript that will warn you 'Copyright Protect!' if you right click on a link."

    And if you read the article you'd know ... she isn't an idiot ... and she's trying to protect people using her name to infringe on her IP by selling unlicensed copies of her IP and using her name to do so.

    But hey, you didn't read the article, you're just another know it all slashdot idiot.
