I was just on Dutch Passion's website looking for the Automatic version of Frisian Duck. They have it listed as AutuDuck, with a registered trademark symbol. How can they do that when the term AUTODUCK has freely been used for several years. It is a common vernacular for any auto that has ducksfoot leaves. Further investigation into their site, and I see them slapping trademark symbols on auto versions of other company's seeds, many of which have been created and sold by others for years?

Sensi seeds does the same thing.
Trademarks are protected by law in order to serve this source-indicating function and prevent the public from being confused about the source of the goods or services.
By doing this, a trademark also helps to assure that the trademark owner, and not an imitative competitor, will reap the rewards associated with a desirable product.
Wonder if they've filed to make it official, a record in a registry. And what is the recourse they have if others using name? We registered our name, afterthought autos ®, as to not have others impede on that name. Trademarks are supposed to do the same, if properly channeled.

Nothing wrong with trademarks & copyrights...
They serve a purpose in the legit marketing world but underground they're as useless as giving all your children the same exact name.
Public domain names are trademarked & copyrighted all the time.
It's the context of the usage of those terms that come into play when challenged in court.

& folks that refuse to do any research about the products they use.
