http://www.nachi.org/forum/f19/romex...question-60251

as romex is a registered trademark of southwire company, we ask that you please begin using the ® after romex on your chat page and state on your message board that romex® is a registered trademark of southwire company.

Please make the following changes:

we understand that you may be unable to control all usage of the mark romex on your chat page. However, if it’s your preference not to make the adjustments mentioned above, please cease use of the romex mark and encourage your forum participants to make reference to nmb instead of using the federally registered romex trademark when referring to nmb cable in general.

Wow. They sent their big guns ... the law clerk ... after you. You are dead meat, Nick.

Engineers have a definition of the word "romex" in their dictionary, by the way. It doesn't even mention a brand name or trademark.

You may suggest they stop violating the trademark of the Armor Meat Company by insisting on sending you such unsolicited spam.

[Robert Meier]

Maybe when I stop laughing I can respond.

Hormel is drafting their lawsuit for as we speak.

Well then we'll just have to eat Big Macs.

Oooops, Big Mac is trademarked.

I would ask her why she did use the little 'r' after everytime she mentioned INTERNACHI....

[KEVIN WOOD]

I was thinking the same thing Robert! LOL

Better send e-mails to all Home Inspection Software Companies quick before we all get sued.

[Christopher Currins]

Darn, now I have to edit my report template(s) and send a mass email out to over 1,000 clients and inform them of the infringement.

[Christopher Currins]

She better contact ebay too, and several other manufacturers.

[Bob Elliott]

Glad we do not use that glorified extension cord crap in Chicago.
ROMEX is ugly and hazardous.

Your just used to union thuggery..

[clambert2]

I do not use any trademarked terms in my reports without the proper terminology. Not all wiring is $&@Mex however most is non metallic sheathed cable I see nothing wrong with giving proper names where due. If it is trademarked it needs recognition.

[Stephen W. Stanczyk]

You can put ROMEX, ROMEX, ROMEX right up there with Heroin, Escalator, Aspirin, Linoleum, Thermos or YoYo.

ROMEX, ROMEX, ROMEX. Take your little r and shove it.

[Jeffrey R. Wicklander]

maybe you should start charging them instead of the free advertising....
