Dearest: PaulF: my sincerest apologies with regard to my misdirected plate moniker comment. I confused you with the multitudes of others with such plates. They kow who they are.
As to the rest, what can I say except carry on.
Alas they are beyond help either due to inability to comprehend the point that even the newbie understands or as a result of furthering their own purpose. They still scurry to undercut the facts, the law (by miss citing trade dress decisions) and logical rational explanation as to the undeniable ultimate fact. The World Registry concurs also agreeing with the facts and law as it must necessarily do. One cannot read selected snippets of the Registry taken out of context as misleadingly done by others here. All those innocents reading are urged to read the cited pages I set forth for themselves so as not to be misdirected in their understanding.
The only one that has finally acknowledged the simple truth and fact has been PaulF. Thank you sir. You have acknowledged and recognized the simple and obvious fact that has and will apparently forever escape the others. They are beyond help as noted. But if I have helped just one my efforts were worthwhile here.
Time for me to avoid squandering precious and billable time on those that can't be helped.
Adieu my lost friends. See you on other threads.
