Um, I think we would all like for this to happen but I don’t think it’s realistic for letters and nice phone calls to happen. If I were them and were mad or offended I wouldn’t feel like I had to kiss their kirtsy’s! I’d want change and I’d make it happen. No joking around.

As for the trademark? It’s a LOT of money!!! Trust me. Legal Zoom was the cheapist and if you’re going to do it, my lawyer said it was cheaper then using her. Good luck.

Yes, it makes sense but I think that the Skirt women handled it badly. They didn’t even send a letter, make a phone call, or anything to the kirtsy women asking them if they would please change the name, etc. They should have had the respect to at least ask first before they stormed in with their lawyers and such.

Hmmmm, should I trademark a cowboy’s wife??? :)

Hey there Lori! I’ve got to disagree with you on this one. I think that if I were Skirt the magazine and spent all sorts of money having a registered trademarked name (just for this type of purpose) I’d be mad too. Think about it. What if someone started a blog named A Cowboy’s Wife but they were .org or whatever. You’d be pissed! Then if it was more popular and better? Oh, you’d be jealous and more pissed! Had you spend money to have your brand and name protected you wouldn’t like it one bit. I think we need to think logically here. I like the girls from Kirtsy and their site and how they handled everything but they were wrong. No…the lawyer was wrong. They had bad legal advise and that isn’t their fault. Notice how they got Kirtsy trademarked? So someone can’t steal their name. If someone does do you think they’ll do nothing about it?

Good for you Lori for posting about this, I thought it was ridiculous that they got so up in arms over the name too! When I got the email about it, I thought the “new” name sounded better anyway, so there!

Yes Holly, I really do think they are just flat out jealous of the popularity that kirtsy has. I think they lost a lot of readers because of it.

I also think it’s a jealousy factor, that or like you said, they’re crazy people. I can’t believe they got their panties all in a bunch over a name such as skirt; I mean, it’s a piece of clothing’s name and all…Haha.
