At times I get notice of another product in software named ‘Solaris’, and I have to let the developer know that I own the trademark rights.
I don’t always keep a watch out for VSTi or other plug-ins that appear with the usage, and so I appreciate any notice when someone finds it.
For the record, here is what my trademark covers:
“For hardware sound modules, printed circuit boards, for effecting sound, computer software, or parts for all the aforesaid goods.” First use was January 2003, with the trademark granted September 2005.
So far developers have been very responsive in changing their product names. If you do see or know of any other product in these categories that is using the name, I would be most grateful if you send me a notice at jb@johnbowen.com.
