Neo-Nazi fails to trademark HC

2010-01-25 by Damrod EMERITUS | 41 Comments
Quite an uproar went through a scene, when in early 2009 a German Neo-Nazi tried to trademark the term "Hardcore" for everything related to clothing like t-shirts and similar. Many feared that the Neo-Nazi would take legal steps against e.g. bands with the term Hardcore on their shirts. (Original Sputnik News: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=8723)

Now, the German Punk and Hardcore Fanzine Ox has reported that, Quote: "Hardcore has been saved as trademak from Nazi". (News post at OX Fanzine, German: http://www.ox-fanzine.de/web/hardcore_als.614.html)

As the site reports, the term "Hardcore" was trademarked at the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) by another person before, who trademarked it for similar areas of use - without musical or political interests, as it was stated. As this trademark dates back earlier than the attempted trademark by named Neo-Nazi Timo Schubert, and as it aims for the same field of use, the DPMA has denied the claim for the trademark by the latter.

lol.

Nazis pull the craziest pranks. Like that thing they did during WWII

The Arabs almost beat them with that tower thing in 2001, but the Nazi's have them beat in terms of silly jokes.

Oh, the neo-nazis always have some sort of trick up their sleeve. You think they would give up at some point in time.

Going through the court system to try and trademark the word hardcore, can't think of anything more Nazi myself. What the hell do Neo-Nazi's stand for again? I'm assuming it's something hardcore.
