If you hadn't got your alleged "law degree" from a Cracker Jack Box ... you'd know you are skating on some very thin legal ice regarding my copyrights ...

The eyes of Kasimira Verdi are upon you.

uh first of all, when you pretend to be a lawyer, you go to Harvard. so that's where I received my pretend legal education, and I'm sticking to that.

second, I think it is safe to say that "salient" is now in the public domain. you abandoned the mark, according to the PTO, because you have not used it in commerce and the dormancy period has run. sorry my friend. we can all use "salient" now.

but dflea's "dumb fucking donkey" mark on the other hand is still good because I make sure he uses it in commerce at least once every three months to toll the running of the dormancy period.

... for pretend.

I see you read Legalpedia.com ... I have no choice:

To Whom It May Concern:

Iam writingto you on behalf of Topawgnc and his related entities (collectively "The Field"). Topdawngc is the exclusive worldwide super owner of copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in the use of the word Salient on any message board affiliated with Huskies, Cougars, and other losing sports teams

It has come to our attention that you own and operate Poasts (the "shit no one reads"), which offers opinions of and/or links to salient points, and which uses copyrighted wording from the Field.

Your use of Topdawgnc's copyright and first 23 jokes constitutes copyright infringement under U.S. law.

Moreover, the Poast creates consumer confusion because users encountering it will assume that Topdawgnc sponsors, endorses, or authorizes the content thereon, when it in fact does not. Accordingly, the Poasts violates Topdawgnc's trademark rights and constitutes unfair competition under U.S. law.

We, therefore, demand that you immediately:

1. Remove all references to Salient and to any other 23 jokes from Topdawgnc

2. Cease all use, display or distribution, or links to Salient references

3. At your own expense, assign the word to Topdawgnc;

4. Confirm in writing to the undersigned no later than February 1, 2020, that you shall fully and promptly comply with each of the foregoing demands.

Should you fail to comply with the above demands by the close of business on February 1, 2020 we will consider taking all appropriate action against you without further notice to you.

This letter is without prejudice to The Field’s rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved.

Piss Off,

Kasimira Verdi
