I got the idea from a club/party on here called BMFC, how would everyone feel about a party every now and again with the main focus being black people and the people who love them?
All races would be allowed men and women BPFC being the main theme though?
Yay or Nay? |

"Personally I'm attracted to faces not the skin colour but I'm sure there will definitely be some people interested in this  .
Good luck OP."
Thanks, I see a lot of people have there looking for BBC on here and I know black women are heavily lusted after I think it could be a good night |

Whilst i am totally flattered that you appreciate our concept and business model, i am afraid that you will not be able to use the terminology BPFC as it is too similar to the one that we have trademarked
Feel free to use something else but unfortunately it cant be anything as close as the name that you are putting forward
I am happy to discuss this with you and happy to give you our solicitors details if you want to run past the other names that you are considering

That's not how trademarking works.
checking the government trademark website and doing a search for "BMFC" it does indeed return your registration, and it also lists "FCBM" "BMCF HLQ4" "BFCM" "BCFM" "FCMB" all of which are VALID REGISTERED trademarks very similar to your own.
As you will also know trademarks have to be shown to have been defended at every opportunity for them to stand in court, and typos abound so the OP is as likely to trigger an action from Black Country Family Mediation as yourselves, and both would still have to prove their case in court on the day.
Provided there is no actual intent at "passing off" or profiting from someone else's name like opening a MacDonalds burger shop, where is the harm?
Beware the streisand effect. |

"This is exactly why I stated that if he wants to discuss matters with our solicitor then I am only too happy to share his contact details
I did try to contact you but you seem to have blocked me??? "
1/ There is little purpose in Fred contacting Jim's solicitor, Jim's solicitor can only act on Jim's behalf, he can't give Fred legal advice, not denigrating your offer of same to the OP, but unless he was thinking of making a business offer of some kind there is likely little point in it.
2/ You did state the OP "will not be able to" and it was this that I was calling into question. disclaimer, I am not the OP's legal adviser either, but I know something of copyright/trademark/IP law and with the greatest respect there is a world of difference between "Apple" and "Easy" and your own trademark, and the legal teams backing same.
3/ We habitually block everyone that we encounter who mixes money/business/profit with swinging, it's nothing personal and it wasn't intended to prevent you from responding, we just find that we don't have anything in common with people who mix sex and money, so even though we might to choose to go to Acme swingers club one night (as we choose to "go" virtually to Fab online) we'd still block Acme swingers if they had a profile here.
For the record I have no axe to grind either way against yourself or your business, I merely took exception to *how* you stated your case to the OP, and if you and the OP choose to compare notes you'll find that he is also blocked by us, so we are at least even handed in our own petty prejudices and preferences.
Peace. |

Thanks for your input and that of Ball and Chain too
The following quote maybe of interest and the reason that i gave my reply
''Take advice before using a name that is identical or similar to an existing name
1) one or more characters has been omitted
2) one or more characters, signs, symbols or punctuation has been added
3) each of one or more characters has been substituted by one or more other characters, signs, symbols or punctuation"
The fact of the matter is that i have worked hard for 13 years to achieve the reputation that i have and I feel it is morally wrong for someone to knowingly use a similar name in the hope that people will assume that they are the BMFC or that it is the BMFC organising their parties
There is much information about this on the internet as it could be seen as trying to pass off their parties as ours
I am not a solicitor and that is why i suggested that if they wanted to obtain the legal facts then feel free to contact them as i am only too happy to share my solicitors contact details with them |

Are they providing the same / similar thing to us though? ... No... Just like the Barry Manilow Fan Club won't be bothered that we have the same abbreviation as them - coz we don't have the same interest!
It's about confusion of people thinking it's our brand and it's us running them. And when we have worked so hard to get to where we are today, too right we are gonna try and protect our brand - just like any other club or website would. But if I'm honest, legalities aside, it's about having manners. Why would someone want to have a brand that sounds the same as someone else's? Why not be unique?
There's so many other names that can be picked that get the idea of the concept out there. Also there's enough people to go around to visit all the multiple events that run alongside ours with the same / similar concept, so that isn't an issue either.
Just don't use similar names. Its pretty simple really.
We have asked politely and the OP has actually messaged back privately and seems more than happy with what we have asked. It seems the joy of the fact it's on a public forum that people are making a mountain out of a molehill
So thank you OP for your decency and understanding. Good luck with your venture |

Surly you have missed the massive difference in your own name and his, yours is a specifically aimed at fans of black MEN his is aimed at fans of black people so guessing this includes fans of black women too!?
Would you advise someone to run it by your solicitors if they planned on starting a BWFC black womens fan club? Or a WMFC White man's fan club?  |

exactly..and as they made such a fuss about something so innocent, not seeing the business potential of doing something else..(not giving any marketing advice here for free) it has put me off completely...if its a business here, offering services that needs to be looked into..as its not allowed |

I think it's a business she runs so is it unreasonable for her to expect a return for her outlay.
Swingers clubs don't operate on a non profit basis so why is it unreasonable for event organisers to do the same ? |

No not unreasonable of course businesses should make profits! I didn't say that I pointed out that the way the event organiser went about it made it look like profits are the main focus for the events. All just my opinion obviously everyone is allowed there own. |

Agree.
Also, the only time i've ever been to a swingers club is for the BMFC event, so she's enhancing the swinging world in some way and got me to get down to one and meet my mate there.
Before i started doing preston socials i had a check to see if anyone else was doing them, it's only polite. |

But the OP wanted a fan club for all fans of black PEOPLE not just black men surly different enough for both to coexist and enhance swinging.
Can I just say I'm not against either event. |

put limited aftert the name not to get it confused with a one off party someone else might organise..make it clear without threatening an individual with legal action over the name of an event...maybe OTT should be added for good measure..its my opinion..heavy handed in the land of free sexuality to protect personal interest, isnt my thing..if anything should have been done privately if so concerned its going to affect her income.. |

not different enough imo. because although you're not stupid, plenty of people are and might think OPs party is something to do with the actual BMFC. |

Perhaps but the OP's intentions are different enough to prevent him having any trademark issues. And as you know I'm very stupid today I'm that tired

Before i started doing preston socials i had a check to see if anyone else was doing them, it's only polite.
But the OP wanted a fan club for all fans of black PEOPLE not just black men surly different enough for both to coexist and enhance swinging.
Can I just say I'm not against either event.
not different enough imo. because although you're not stupid, plenty of people are and might think OPs party is something to do with the actual BMFC.
Perhaps but the OP's intentions are different enough to prevent him having any trademark issues. And as you know I'm very stupid today I'm that tired
P.s your fault "
your fault actually, shouldn't have given me such a great night. no make up sex for you*.
*as if. 
idk anything about trademarks, but i don't blame her for publicly trying to protect her business, even if OP is just having some fun. anyone can read the public forums and steal her name/reputation to make themselves their own lesser quality BMFC thing and not really care about the quality of the guests attending.
her party is good. i've always wanted to go to a swinging club since joining fab but, going off some of the people who go to them that i've been unfortunate enough to have interacted with or seen using the forums, it comes off as a little bit predatory and competative and not as fun as i'd have liked it to be.
helen spent some time herself personally reassuring me i'd feel safe at her party, so i went (nervous as anything) and she did make sure i mingled. and the male guests she invited , and couples, were lovely. it was my first time and a great night. |

wtf..trademarked..hahaha very funny...like swinger or mars bar..put me right off your events..you cant own party names...
It shouts to me that said event's are all about profits rather then the fans etc.
I think it's a business she runs so is it unreasonable for her to expect a return for her outlay.
Swingers clubs don't operate on a non profit basis so why is it unreasonable for event organisers to do the same ?

That's fair enough I take my comment about it looking like its only for profit back, I do think the difference is enough to not be a problem though.
I'm just tired, so probably slightly overreacting to the whole thing I would apologize usually but it's your fault I'm tired so the blame lies with you |

lol, won an argument with the promise of sex. have to try that again sometime.
you're not over-reacting at all, and that's what i like about you.

What's wrong with having another event, with different people attending, including black women?
Not everyone wants to, or can't always attend BMFC. |

Whilst i am totally flattered that you appreciate our concept and business model, i am afraid that you will not be able to use the terminology BPFC as it is too similar to the one that we have trademarked

Twaddle. Total twaddle. By that logic your own trademark wouldn't be allowed as it is only one letter away from BWFC. And other posters are correct. Your solicitors are barred from offering advice to your potential competitor under Solicitors Regulation Authority rules on Conflict Of Interest. |

right.anyone with any variation of suzy regardless of there real name including i's and ie's should also forfeit the name, in case my socials, meets, club visits all get hijacked and my meets get inflated ideas about my sexual deviancy, through mistaken identity.. |

Even though the event organiser says (in a roundabout way) that the events are not aimed at non-black single men.

I thought he meant the OP'a idea of black people, not just men. Therefore, white or Asian, Middle eastern etc men would go to meet black women. |

dunno now you've said that. i'll wait and see what he says.
trying to get him to make me a cake so obviously that was more important than clarifying what he said. |

"I got the idea from a club/party on here called BMFC, how would everyone feel about a party every now and again with the main focus being black people and the people who love them?
All races would be allowed men and women BPFC being the main theme though?
Yay or Nay?
BMFC already do a cracking job at this event nationwide so why the need for another?
Because competition breeds success..... what would McDonalds be without Buger King?
Besides his party will allow black women and the men that adore them....
BMFC allow black women... "
BMFC allows black women, but does not cater for black women. The emphasis is on black men. So it's still different from what the OP is suggesting.

"Regardless of they attend going off the name of the event fans of black women wouldn't necessarily look to attend unless they are fans of black men also
Are you saying non-black men would deny themselves the chance of having sex with black women because black men would be there?
think he means if any black women attended they'd be going to meet black men?
he's not had much sleep. "
Yes I meant that in regards to the BMFC event not the BPFC event

I thought he meant the OP'a idea of black people, not just men. Therefore, white or Asian, Middle eastern etc men would go to meet black women. "
I have meant that aswell at some point about the BPFC one |

Whilst i am totally flattered that you appreciate our concept and business model, i am afraid that you will not be able to use the terminology BPFC as it is too similar to the one that we have trademarked
Feel free to use something else but unfortunately it cant be anything as close as the name that you are putting forward
Do the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club endorse these parties?

Great band ?? |

"'Bmfc does not cater for black women'
Loads of black women go. They look stunning and are real party animals. Helen's parties are for anyone who is a Fan of Black Men, as the initials make clear "
So I wouldn't attend then, as I am not a "fan" of black men (I've nothing against them, but as a straight man I'm not looking to play with other men), however I would enjoy playing with (some) black women, so I would attend the OPs party, but not BMFC.
Is that really so difficult to comprehend? |

Are they providing the same / similar thing to us though? ... No... Just like the Barry Manilow Fan Club won't be bothered that we have the same abbreviation as them - coz we don't have the same interest!
It's about confusion of people thinking it's our brand and it's us running them. And when we have worked so hard to get to where we are today, too right we are gonna try and protect our brand - just like any other club or website would. But if I'm honest, legalities aside, it's about having manners. Why would someone want to have a brand that sounds the same as someone else's? Why not be unique?
There's so many other names that can be picked that get the idea of the concept out there. Also there's enough people to go around to visit all the multiple events that run alongside ours with the same / similar concept, so that isn't an issue either.
Just don't use similar names. Its pretty simple really.
We have asked politely and the OP has actually messaged back privately and seems more than happy with what we have asked. It seems the joy of the fact it's on a public forum that people are making a mountain out of a molehill
So thank you OP for your decency and understanding. Good luck with your venture "
I'm still thinking of using the name as I've seeked legal advice and there'll be no trouble for using it, especially as it's non profit, still debating on changing I just don't see why I should , thanks for your understanding Lil miss BMFC and hope to maybe even collaborate in the future |
