Inktober Book Plagerism Accusations

Nyrryl Cadiz

@davidhohn @jimsz @pixel-dsp Thanks, guys! This was educational. You have a point, though very similar, it is technically not illegal to start your own inktober-like challenge online.

I don't like people capitalizing on the downfall of inktober but this Atelier might've planned on launching this new challenge even before the new controversy started and have no ill intentions. I guess it's wrong of me to immediately assume that they're somewhat trying to take advantage of the situation.

@ajillustrates said in Inktober Book Plagerism Accusations:

would artworks for sale using the Inktober name or branding be in violation if they were produced before the filing or registration date?

The way it was explained to me, it can extend back so to speak. If the item were still being sold/used when the trademark is obtained the trademark owner can enforce their trademark. However, don't forget that more than one person can own a trademark on the same word/name under different classifications so that is another set of circumstances to deal with.

@Molambo I received an email from Indigo (Canadian book chain) saying my order was cancelled. But no mention of why or what.

I just double checked and it seems listings online have either been removed or post as sold out... not sure what’s going on it’d be nice to get an update though

@Molambo I've not received any updates, but on checking Blackwell's site it now says 1 Dec for dispatch.

Wondering about updates on this. Amazon keeps moving back the ship by date. I’m guessing it’s just a giant legal mess right now.

@Pamela-Fraley Just saw that it’s back up for pre-order for B&N with shipping in March.

My Amazon pre-order says it shipped and has a tracking number

@K-Flagg I have a valid tracking number too, arriving Wednesday, but when I click on "buy again" on amazon, the book does not appear. Strange.

charitymunoz

@Cole-Rts I ordered it months ago off amazon before the drama happened. I just got it in the mail yesterday.

I watched 15 minutes of that video some months ago (which by the way, I found because of the name of jake in the title of the video) It was obvious from the first moment that that guy has to grow up and mature. Like Gary Vaynerchuk put it "There are people who want to build the taller building in the city tearing down the rest of the buildings". I blocked him, don want to waste one minute of energy listening to that guy crying.
You should do the same.
