Dunno if anyone can clarify this or not?.

I know Foley has applied for the Trademark concerning the Stylistic MAME logo. Can he actually get the trademark for the general term MAME though?. I thought MAME was simply an abbreiviation describing a function rather than a product (its what it does, not necessarily what it is).

Could it not be argued that MAME is just a generic term and not subject to trademarking (like DVD, CD, Tree, Automobile etc)?.

So if Foley got the TM could we not just change it to a different stylistic MAME logo and stay within the law?.

You seem to have a startling grasp of the inner workings of what is going on with Foley and Ultracade for someone who has no affiliation with them?, strange you should turn up on these boards at this point in time specifically to argue his case???.

So just for the record in respect to your comment above. Through all of the backpedalling that has been done Foley has claimed that he has NO commercial interest in MAME, he just doesn't want other people being able to use it commercially to compete with him. I'm presuming then that his statements to that effect were just another smokescreen then?.

Kind of telling about the legitimacy of his position that even someone trying to fight Foley's corner can do nothing but further destroy his credibility with every statement. I fail to see how he can possibly succeed in any commercial endeavour concerning MAME now that his actions have (quite rightly) drawn him so much negative attention.
