[suds window service]

i would just like to thank the person who emailed ionics with pictures of my newly signed van......
i have received an email off them telling me that the likeness is to similar and must be removed.
 i am no legal expert so will have to take some advice.
 so once again thanks!

Richard, Ionics come on here under sudo names. Don't think it would be anyone else. They don't post just spy

[RSWindows]

  Who would do that?

I may be trying to make excuses for someone here but could Ionic people not be registered users of this forum?  

I see loads of vans going about with that man shaped thing on it so its not as if they police the streets looking for violators, what would i do?
tell them its painted on and its not as easy as just peeling it off, if they pay for it to be removed then fine, it may look similar but it is not a rip-off or copy of theirs. is theirs a registered trademark???

So Nestle make a mars bar which is a great seller and tesco make a mar bar then if it is not an exact copy of the original trademarked product then surely there is no copyright

that's bad crack. from your other post you did it off misadvice, and wern't trying to rip anyone off.
the way i got your posts were that if you were in the wrong you would get it sorted.
I just wonder if the good citizen will fess up to the help they have given you.


just rememder and run the new logo here first before getting it printed

Just take your Ionic lookalike logo off - the van will get you plenty of business with "suds" and the rest of it.


Yeah I know there are no suds with wfp but it plays well to people's perceptions - just like a level crossing sign sometimes has a picture of a steam engine on it but we haven't had steam engines on the main rail network since 1968 - it still gets the message across.

Well, do they also expect you to prove you've removed it?

[jaykie]

Do you have to have there system as i know someone who use to have there system but has every size ionics pole in the back of his van (and  roof) and i think he would flip his lid if they told him to remove the ionics logo as the poles and brushes he has are probably more expensive then the systems.

buy a brush of them, you then have ionics kit.

petty though i think any free brand advertising should be welcomed

i belive people would e.mail them, they would be ionics users, some genuinely think they are better than people who use other systems,  thus if they can get one over on a non-user, they will

sad really

[suds window service]

i have been given until the 9th to remove it. you can judge yourself weather its
a total copy straight from thier web site(which it is not).
or a well designed icon.

 any way i think its pretty sad for someone to cause this sort of trouble for a fellow shinner. merry christmas.

I don't know if you were dobbed in by a genuine user of this site, but there were a couple of genuine posted warnings to you to remove your picture on your thread, but you chose to ignore them. They were very clear and well intentioned.

[suds window service]

it was only last evening!!!! suppose you would have ran straight out and took them off.... thanks for replying though

[dd]

Good luck with everything.

[suds window service]

just like to thank everyone that's helped me over the last 15 months.
i now have a very healthy business.
300 monthlies and just breaking into commercial .
 i am grateful for all the sound advice you have taken the time to give me.
all the best in the future Dave...suds window cleaning service.

should we notify bt telecom that ionics have an almost identicle logo as theres,
and if bt was to take them on, they would have no chance, how would they feel.

[suds window service]

yea its rather ironic from ionics

[Captain Scarlet]

bt no longer use that logo, though they still own it

[suds window service]

can i use theirs i do carry a phone with me?

[Captain Scarlet]

how did ionics get in contact?

because i noticed on the pics of your van there wasnt a full phone number, did they google you?
