View Full Version : StealthMarine needs a new name....

I am sure all of you are going to love this one.
After going round and round for months now our lawyers have told us that we need to cease and decist in the use of the word "Stealth" in the name of our business or the name of our boat.
Seems the word "Stealth" is trademarked for all business uses by a guy who makes his living in attempting to license it any and all who want it. The lawyers think we could win after a long and protracted legal battle, the end result of which would be that we would have spent ten's of thousand's of dollars and end up right where we are today.
So, rather than waste a ton of cash on being totally non-productive and just lining our lawyers pockets we have decided to change the name of the business.
And this is where it gets fun.
I am looking for suggestions for a new name???????????
So long as it is NOT Trademarked, Copyrighted or Obscene, I am open to all suggestions.
Give it your best shot and lets see what all the ***boaters come up with.

Cute.
Can NOT have the word "Stealth" in any part of the title.
Otherwise "Stealthmarine" would not be a problem.

Don't cave in. Fight it and tell that A HOLE to get a life. :sqeyes:
I would LOVE to.
Buy after looking into this guy long and hard it is very clear he makes his living litigating. Our lawyers warned us that this guy would not be above using every dirty trick in the book to win the trial. And as such our legal costs would be HUGE if we decided to pursue. Several other companies ARE fighting him, but they have much larger resources that we do.

So does this mean that John West will be getting served with a suit as well for his "stealth" line of boats. Honestly, you guys are a small shop and I can't see how it would be worth this guy's efforts to pursue this. If you cave he gets nothing, if you don't how does he really profit? I understand all about the cost of "playing the game" with the lawyers so I don't need a lecture there, Just trying to figure out his motivation. Without knowing what exactly you've been served with, it's hard to say, but honestly it sounds like you'd be fine. Besides, the guy ain't very smart because it would have been much more apealing to go after Ultra (I think their annual production is just slightly more than yours ;) ) for their use of his term in their product line.
I say f' it and keep rolling with what you have. You've worked a while to build a reputation under that name, and it would suck to toss a portion of that down the drain.
Let this be a valuable business lesson to onlookers though... Do your research before you hang your product on a name that might not be yours to use.

Chris
The guy that is doing this has been making his living at this for many years.
There is an entire online forum dedicated to the people he has attacked and VAST are the numbers of businesses in the USA he has come after. He is a lawyer that registeres "trademarks" on anything and everything he can get his hold on and then sells a license to use them. He made us an offer that was so over the top as to be rediculous. But he does hold the trademark on the word "Stealth" and very agressively goes after any and all that will not bow down to him.
If he looses a battle, he looses only his personal time, if he wins, he gets a settlement and royalties for years to come. His upside is MUCH better than our upside.

If he holds true to course, the answer will be 100% YES.
Its just a matter of him coming across them in due time.
He found us because we used the word "Stealth" are part of our domain name on the internet. And he goes after that as his primary defense of his trademark. Could be years before he comes across a boat called stealth.

There is a restaurant called Olympic Pizza , [was established over 15yrs ago] which the olympic committee wants to change its name and taking the rings down .The reason ? They say sponsors will feel that it's unfair to them this establishment will benefit from the name THEY think it's exclusive to them only :rolleyes: . If the focking games weren't awarded here [ will cost us taxpayers big time :sqeyes: ] this dude could have carried on without going to battle with the committee :lightsabe .

I strongly suspect he ONLY goes after those who are not going to be able to mount a serious battle against him.
His goal is to collect royalties.
in our case he was out there in never never land with what he asked for.
If he had wanted a couple hundred bucks for each boat, I would have probably just swallowed the cost of it and moved on with business.
But he wanted more than we make in Net Profit on each boat.
The guy has no sence of reality.

Stealth Marine, sorry to hear some J@ck@ss wants to rule the world . The same thing happened to my cousin with his surf products name "NEWBLEND". The guy wound up paying nathan 5 or 10k as nathan had inserted the word NEW in front of BLEND. but still the same basis as you problem . I'm really glad to see you're overcomming the situation and moving foward. in doing a little search I came up with Mr. Leo Stoller and his STEALTH mark. he owes timex $100k... http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.inta.org/tmtopics/archives/0404/msg00092.html good luck on the new name .. as your hard work shows me you're not a quiter.

Have you contacted any of the other boat manufactures that use the stealth name? I am wondering if the industry could pull their resources together and approach this similar to a class action against this nuisance. Maybe the industry could get some publicity by contacting the media. I don’t know the costs in fighting this but I am sure it is somewhat costly to change your name and the good will that goes with it.
Good Luck

I think there is virtually NO chance of that happening.
This industry is highly fragmented and would not see common interest in something like that unless it directly involved each and every player.

Buy after looking into this guy long and hard it is very clear he makes his living litigating. Our lawyers warned us that this guy would not be above using every dirty trick in the book to win the trial. And as such our legal costs would be HUGE if we decided to pursue. Several other companies ARE fighting him, but they have much larger resources that we do.
So this guy's making big bucks licensing The Stealth Fighter, bet the Gubment isn't playing nice w him

Then everyone was moving towards "Thunder Alley Performance Marine".
And for a couple days I thought that was a done deal.
But, much to my surprise the powers that be changed their minds and settled in on the winner instead. I sent the name off to the attorney to have a trademark and copyright check done. As yet I have not heard back from him.

Ya, well, you know how it is.
The URL is registered and active now pointing back to StealthMarine.com
And the lawyer says he "thinks" it will be good to go, but has not finished the complete check against all possible sources.
So I am just playing it safe for a short while till he gives me the big thumbs up and I can tell everyone.

How bout one more really late entry : " The boat builder formerly known as stealth" ?
You could just use some crazy ass symbol. No need for a copyright search.

OK
Sorry.
I tried to get on yesterday and it looked like the boards were closed.
My vote was for Fahrenheit Marine.
I liked that one alot.
Then everyone was moving towards "Thunder Alley Performance Marine".
And for a couple days I thought that was a done deal.
But, much to my surprise the powers that be changed their minds and settled in on the winner instead. I sent the name off to the attorney to have a trademark and copyright check done. As yet I have not heard back from him.

That was pretty much what everyone else but me seemed to think as well.
I thought it worked because it made you think of the HEAT out here in Havasu.
But everyone else just thought of that idot Moore.
So that name crashed and burned.

Don't feel like you have to use the word "Marine".
Feel free to try anything that captures the whole "Havasu" lifestyle....

I just saw this thread...are you still looking for names?
How about... "Richter Performance Marine", or R.P.M. for short.
Richter is also slang for something that was "off the scale" or outrageous and powerful.

I Know Mike Livorsi. He Had A Problem With Gaffrig Trying To Take Back The Name. So He Did The Right Thing, Relied On His Product And Went Forward. You Should Do The Same. If You Build A Clean Product Then It Will Sell. It Also Sounds Like Some People Like You And Your Product S O If You Have A Following That Is The Best Thing You Could Have.being Cool Is Not Enough. The Name Is Not Enough, But Ahigh Quility Product Is. Looks Good,just Wish More Were In My Area.

Sales are not the problem.
Its just a desire to stay as far away from Lawyers and Courts as I can.
The guy has a Trademark on the word "Stealth" and if we continue to use it we will end up a in a suit. Whether or not we will is beside the point, We would have to litigate it and that would be a waste of time and money.
Its just easier and less painfull to change the name and be done with it.

We are going through the trademark registration process.
Thought we had it nailed on Tuesday.
Weds the lawyer sent me a note letting me know we have run into the first problem with the new name.
he is still working on it, so I am still holding off on annoucing the new name till we know for sure we WILL be able to own it.

This whole process of renaming the company is ponderously SLOW.
Found out yesterday that the trademark office will NOT allow a trademark on the word "Marine" as it is part of the common domain. You would think that the word "Stealth" would be the same, but its not.

You'll get through it, just stay the course.
Wonder if you can trademark the word "The"---what a cash bonanza that would be. :coffeycup
