Today I picked my mail up, and was surprised to see my official letter from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Here is what it looks like in case you've never seen one.
It made me very happy, in a very sad time for me. It was registered on March 18, 2014 and on March 19th 2014, I was told the grim news of my brother Marks death. Kinda odd, to think it's called a "Trademark" and my brother who died, well his name is Mark.
This is something I wouldn't have liked to share with him. He was a person who would encourage me to move forward with my crazy idea of DigiThin. He provoked me, and challenged me to do something with my idea.
I remember when I wanted to use the slogan Qi Er Bu She, which means Never Give Up in Chinese pinyin, in my logo as a subtitle. So Mark did all this research and found the actual Chinese symbols to represent "Never Give Up". I remember how happy he was when he presented those symbols to me. : - ) He wanted me to use those! I'm sad that I did not use them. Maybe I will now.
The only thing that has happened because I have received this recognition from The United States Patent and Trademark Office is, that it made me HAPPY for a few hours, in a very SAD time. : - (
Maybe it's going to be good for my startup in the long run. It just seems like another paper you have to file and pay money for. Then you get the special shinny gold seal. Yeah that's amazing! So what.
