Naming an antenna...
Dear all,
Mrs. yin,SV7DMC and Mr. pez,SV7BAX of TheDAG are strongly suggested your newsgroup, to ask for support, help, comments or opinions about antennas matters. I want to give the name "Dim Diamond" to a prototype antenna which I will examine theoritically and propably construct later. I just want to know if there is such a name already assigned to another antenna. Thank you in advance for your time |

Some may view your name as a part of that company and mistake your product as one of theirs. The company itself may feel it is a slam against one of their products - being that "dim" here means weak - among other things. It "could" prompt legal action being the names are similar or enough to create confusion. A lawyer in business practices could further advise. Not sure why you named your antenna "DIM" diamond, but you may want to reconsider. I don't know the model numbers of the "Diamond" antennas, but I'll put up a for instance using a fictitious model name and number to show how confusing it could be. The "Diamond" antenna company has a Diamond ATC - 12 - HF antenna laying claim to give 7dB gain. Then someone would see the "Dim - Diamond" which is an H.F. antenna boasting 3 dB gain. The name could very well be confusing. Someone could very easily think your antenna is being sold by the "Diamond" company. Just my 2 cents. cl |

Thank you in advance for your time Given you're out of the country of the U.S., maybe my initial reply won't matter/pertain to you. I'd still check with legal representation in your country to make sure you're not going to run into problems there - also. cl |

It's more business-like and more eye-catching. The number implies an engineering background. Your "Dim" implies a mental deficiency. Still retains a strong allusion to a diamond shape. Extremely unlikely it has already been used by anyone else. For successive prototypes or versions use -2, -3, -4 etc. Be confident. Anticipate its successful future. I promise not to use it for MY next revolutionary invention. No charge for this small service. ;o) ---- Reg, G4FGQ |

Applied to EM waves, it means "weak". -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
There is already a US company marketing antennas under the name "Diamond".

I got the impression that the OP was planning on giving a name to an
antenna design, like "windom" or "G5RV," not a particular commercial product. I don't think it would infringe on anyone's trademarks in that case. He's probably concerned more about avoiding the confusion of duplicating someone's existing name. The trademark protects businesses like Diamond Antenna from other people using similar names or marks to derive sales from their presumably hard-earned reputation. If people could potentially become confused by the name "Dim Diamond" and spend money on you, even if you're not competing with Diamond, then Diamond are legally obligated to take action against your use of their name. If you are just naming the antenna design and publishing construction notes, there is not a great likelihood of confusion; it's harder to confuse constructing your own antenna with purchasing someone else's. Therefore there's not much likelihood of upsetting anyone at Diamond. Besides, some trademark holders must necessarily be less agressive. You wouldn't expect Neil Diamond and the De Beers company to come after you. Oh yeah.. The number implies an engineering background. I'm proud to say that this marketing gag doesn't work on me, and I hope it doesn't work on many other hams. At least the name "Joey" tells you it's from Australia and comes in a pouch. |

Would you even consider naming it "John Smith"??? It kinda has a ring to
it--don't ya think? Regards, John wrote in message ups.com...

Ok, forget the fact that the word "Diamond" is in the name being proposed. The word "DIM" in itself leaves a lot to be desired. Many may take a less than positive view on it. Dim - in and of itself - doesn't sound good - in reference to any sort of "product". That "Dim" antenna - may just get a "dim" review. Lots of luck trying to sell that! A "dim" diamond - less than lustrous! I don't know... to me, it spells out "poor" quality - just in the name. Were it mine, I'd use anything other than "dim". But, to each his own....... cl |
Rig here is an IC-746 with a John Smith up 50'...
It is sort of catchy. |
Touché!!! LOL!
