The Ft. Worth Division Judges appear to be John H. McBryde (b. 1931) and Judge Terry R. Means (b. 1848) - both appointed by President George H.W. Bush. Both are graduates of TCU and SMU respectively. Lets pray that should this case go to either, they will rule with clarity, the rule of law and by the guidance of the Holy Spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-83633956140637304022010-09-25T20:06:04.836-07:002010-09-25T20:06:04.836-07:00Mr. Haley,

Here is a link to the full application file in the USPTO, from which you can see that the application was filed a year ago, on May 29:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2bq9l9g" rel="nofollow">Application File</a><br /><br />And note that their attorney on the application swore to the truth of this statement (my bold emphasis):<br /><br />"The undersigned, being hereby warned that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001, and that such willful false statements, and the like, may jeopardize the validity of the application or any resulting registration, declares that he/she is properly authorized to execute this application on behalf of the applicant; he/she <b>believes the applicant to be the owner of the trademark/service mark sought to be registered</b>, or, if the application is being filed under 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(b), he/she believes applicant to be entitled to use such mark in commerce; to the best of his/her knowledge and belief <b>no other person, firm, corporation, or association has the right to use the mark in commerce</b>, either in the identical form thereof or in such near resemblance thereto as to be likely, when used on or in connection with the goods/services of such other person, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive; and that all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true; and that <b>all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true</b>."<br /><br />I think the USPTO will not be too happy with this application when they find out the facts.A.

Even if the defendent is 100% right they still have to spend money on legal fees to defend themselves. Think of being an individual vestry member named in a law suit by TEc's high powered lawyers. How much money can an individual put aside for defense. Most of us don't have $600 per hour to devote to this nonsense. So we have to cave and do what TEc wants. A lot of properties have been given up without a fight for just this reason. TEc can be dea wrong and still bankrupt ordinary Christians.<br /><br />IHSV,<br />NW BobNorthwest Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628175652567391109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-15549684651250860242010-09-22T15:37:26.572-07:002010-09-22T15:37:26.572-07:00AS,

And, if they were to win, it would have not bearing on the other cases re property, right? I'm not advocating lawsuits; however, IF Bishop Iker were to want to sue or counter sue Shori's diocese, would they have something to sue them over? Perhaps that the rump diocese falsified documents in the Sec of State's office? It is obvious that the rump diocese will sue for anything either to be annoying or to try and run Bishop Iker out of money, but the fact remains that our Diocese (Ikers) hasn't been the ones to initiate any lawsuit and in the end, we can only pray that the Lord will allow our Diocese to prevail based on common sense, the law and what's written in black and white.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-36393369439672279192010-09-22T11:48:37.717-07:002010-09-22T11:48:37.717-07:00At what point, now, do criminal complaints or bar ...At what point, now, do criminal complaints or bar ethics complaints get filed?

The faux diocese is trying to move ahead in the Federal Courts for multiple reasons. A primary reason is that the faux diocese may see that it has a large probability of failure in the Texas Courts on the case as it now is. If the Federal Courts can be used to place an injunction against the real diocese using the name and mark, then the faux diocese can use the injunction to regain the use of the title "Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth" in the state courts and therefore strengthen their claim they are the real diocese. If the real diocese cannot get the Federal court to throw this suit out for the reasons you point out, then possibly a stay to any action can be obtained until the Texas Courts make their decisions on who, majority or minority, is the possessor of things. <br /><br />Another reason is just the intimidation and harassment value in filing another law suit against the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth.<br /><br />I must point out that I am biased in this issue as Bishop Iker is my bishop.BillBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593147581583316765noreply@blogger.com
