oh oh?

some chinese company has been using the same name as me since 1997 - so far it's not a problem, but i'm worried

lotus?

trust me it is not fun and it is expensive

yeah the lotus yarns name - i did a lot of research and never found them, can't even find them now, but some folks in the UK are now selling

their yarns

insanknitter - what's expensive?

have have to change your name once it's established

yeah i figured as much

it depends also who used it first

this blows

you need to get a lawyer that specializes in this and that costs big bucks, we opened 3 days after the person who has the name now did

and I agree this blows

but if you used the name first there is nothing they can do

at least that is what we were told

call me if you need to. I will be at work later today or tomorrow

thanks dahling

you are so welcome. I will say a prayer or two for you
