Judi, I have had the opportunity to visit and attend workshops at the OHR
museum. It is extraordinary. OHR was an abstract expressonist before anyone
knew what the phrase meant. It is one of those "must see" places for
potters.

Patricia, not knowing the particulars of this leads me to only one
conclusion......get all the lawyers, put them in a really big boat, send the
boat out to sea, sink the boat.
Seriously though, if you all registered the trademark then it is yours,
if that is all there is to the story that is. Hold your ground, don't be
intimidated and get a lawyer if need be. As far as I know trademark law is
quite complex.

"...Ohr was a man a hundered years ahead of his time."
Speaking of the George Ohr museum, a pottery group I belong to does shows
togethers and years ago we registered our trademark - Mud Daubers. Last
year, the Ohr museum's lawyer informed us they were using our trademark and
we should give it up to them because they were going to continue using it.
Now the museum is planning to contact the trademark registry office and
request that the name be taken away from us because they want to use it.
Their lawyer has been intimidating and ugly. If a board member had
contacted us for permission "art lover to art lover" I don't think there
would have been any problem but this lawyer is a real #@$%!. Any
suggestion? Patricia Harden

"...Ohr was a man a hundered years ahead of his time."
This guy is just trying to sound tough in hope you will buckle under
his persona and give your permission. Hire an attorney (should not
cost very much) to write him a letter of objection and then sue them
for trademark infringement in federal court. You can always cancel the
suit if they get reasonable. Your group has the law (a federal law
at that) on your side you just need to stand up and be heard. Use of
your trademark is a major no-no we all face and they should know
better.

"...Ohr was a man a hundred years ahead of his time."
Patrica,
I'll be interested to see if a registry office can wantonly do that!
If so why should anyone bother to register a trademark!
It seems more likely that the lawyer is trying to bully you into
giving up your name.
I might suggest, for amusements sake, you propose that they buy
the trademark..... for $250,000.
That might shut the lawyer up!

If it comes to blows, consider going to Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.
They're particularly interested in artist to artist cases or artist to
publisher cases.
