Greg -

Thanks for your apology. While MyEvents is a very small brand, it is our brand, and that is why we got the trademark for it. Large multi-national companies have accidentally used our mark, and when we let them know (again, ALWAYS by phone/email, NEVER by attorneys), they have removed it.

Some of the comments about our trademark come from an “armchair trademark expert” who was stating on a public board that he didn’t think he needed to obey our trademark, and nobody should be able to trademark MyEvents - I hardly know why he put up an argument, when all we were asking was that he place a space in between My and Events.

As you point out, we have noticed a rise in marketplace confusion with the name becoming much more popular (especially after MySpace - My… has become a very commonly used term - when we got our trademark, it was not the case). We have received emails and phone calls from people claiming we changed their cards - we didn’t.

Thanks for the links to get reinstated into Google. Again, if you have any other issues with our site, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

We were totally caught off guard with Drupal/CivicSpace’s use of MyEvents and it’s huge popularity. But that is why Trademarks exist, to help small business build their brand - we’re not there yet, but hopefully someday.

Thanks again, and if you wouldn’t mind, could you check our site once again in a few days to see if you see any other “spamming” - would appreciate it.
