[{{ :terry-headshot.jpg?150| Former Axanar CTO **Terry McIntosh**}}] ===== Trademark Dispute ===== Meanwhile, former Axanar chief technologist Terry McIntosh is preparing to throw a wrench into Peters' branding of Ares Digital. McIntosh posted on Facebook: > He's going to be so surprised when he learns that I've spent the $500 and submitted the paperwork to trademark "Ares Digital" with the USPTO [U.S. Patent and Trade Office] last month... *snicker* About two more months until that paperwork comes in and then there will be a rather sharp-tongued C&D sent in his direction.(([[face>groups/axamonitor/permalink/628098631038321/?comment_id=628120581036126&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D|Terry McIntosh post to AxaMonitor Facebook group]], 5/7/19.)) McIntosh adds that he's set aside money to defend his trademark should Peter pursue litigation: > Everything remains on the table and the funds have been allocated in case he does something typically Alec which requires formal litigation.(([[face>groups/axamonitor/permalink/628098631038321/?comment_id=628120581036126&reply_comment_id=628136041034580&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D|Terry McIntosh post on AxaMonitor Facebook group]], 5/7/19.)) {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}} <WRAP tip 90%> <wrap em>COMMENT & SHARE</wrap> \\ <wrap lo>Discuss this article in [[face>groups/axamonitor/permalink/630055460842638/|AxaMonitor's Facebook group]] or share on:</wrap>~~socialite~~ </WRAP> ---- **Keywords** {{tag>Ares_Digital crowdfunding perks donors}}
