Supplier in the US trying to copyright the term Waterfed

A New View Window Cleaning,
Well  on this side of the pond we have a supplier trying to copyright the term Waterfed. It's really got a lot of us up in arms since this supplier only recently started a pure water division to their company. What's your thoughts on this

theres no way they will get it, what do you guys think, and i wonder who is behind it,

lol would like to see this happen when a lot of people had this on there van before he tried, also recon a lot of people would not use the company trying to do it. Think I might copyright the word chris.

I also read that ionics only have the rights to Reach and Wash, and not reach & wash.

I'd heard about this last week, but they will not be able register the word 'WaterFed' as a trademark - guarantee it.

Ionics were only able to register 'Reach & Wash' after about 5 years of using the phrase with no conflict of rights.

I had problems getting on the pros website for a few years and it was an annoyance, it let me in again about 4 months ago, cant remember the posts being worthy of logging in since though.

Same here, I joined it when it first started but didn't go on there much. Then when I tried again much later it wouldn't let me on.
