BOOM ... I wonder how many people who had auctions yanked actually took the time to ask ... the need to ask has been known since Ultracade dropped their TM application.

Did anybody using the term MAME in any of the killed auctions ask ?

[NOTE: This is an honest question, not a smart@$$ rhetorical]

I asked how to properly use the MAME (tm) trademark several times, but did not get a reply.

That's a very good point.  If it's going to hurt someones sales to not put mame in the title then they are abusing MAME to sell the product.  If it doesn't hurt sales then who cares.

And btw you don't have to get IBM's permision to say IBM compatible because they have explicitly given permision on their website along with certain restrictions.  Probably Ford is the same way.

Does a floormat guy have to ask Ford before he makes or advertises a Ford-compatible floormat?

Actually, I believe he does ...

CheffoJeffo:
Thanks, DA ... that indicates, at least, a problem with the process.

Cheers.
