    Copyrights should not be issued for colloquialisms. The fact that she was able to trademark the word “hon” is absurd.

    • @WolfbloodJakeWilliams
      @WolfbloodJakeWilliams 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

      Copyright wouldn't be involved, its just trademark law; she was probably the first to officially register the trademark in the domains of catering and clothing, but if it actually went to court the other party would easily be able to show prior use. Basically her trademark doesn't cover what she thinks it does, at most she would be able to protect "hon" written in a particular colour and/or font.

      Eh, another comment says the biggest issue with the trademark was a small souvenir stand that had cafe hon merch BEFORE she opened the restaurant, then when she opened it and made her own merch with the name, eventually sends the souvenir shop the cease and desist. Eventually the souvenir shop had to shut down and she basically said she didnt care, then the newspapers ran an article with her comments and THATS what made Baltimore hate her so. She put someone out of business with a name she basically stole but trademarked first

    I was wondering how much of the actual story they would tell. I read about Denise and Cafe Hon in a newspaper in Illinois back in the 90s when the whole Hon debacle happened. Her restaurant was never a success in the beginning. She was a successful caterer that deicded to open a restaurant. She saw the name wasnt trademarked after seeing it on several items at a souvenir stand at a high traffic area for tourists. Immediately after trademarking it she made all of the same items that were selling at the souvenir stand. Then went to the souvenir stand which was just a simple one person business that was barely making it and had her lawyer threaten them by sending a cease and desist letter. The souvenir stand went to the newspaper and the city blew up at her. She could have apologized for it and let it go but instead she acted just like she first did with Gordon. She refused to admit what she did was wrong and would not let up on the souvenir stand. It got really bad for her when the souvenir stand had to close and she basically said she didnt care and was not backing off her trademark. The newspaper ran the story again with her quotes after the souvenir stand closed and Baltimore absolutely hated her after it all. That is pretty much the whole story or what I remember of it from 30 years ago.

    This is the favorite episode I've watched so far. Something similar happened in the gardening community when a family trademarked the words "homestead," "homesteader," "homesteading," and "urban homesteading." In fact, they trademarked about 20 commonly used gardening words and started sending out C&D letters, forced people to take down established websites and even take books off of shelves. The problem was, they did this to the wrong person, a lawyer who was determined to defeat them. The whole gardening community got behind him and financed his lawsuit. He won! The trademark office cancelled all of his trademarks. Then there was Mark Zuckerberg, who tried to trademark the words "face" and "book." Talk about an uproar from the internet community! He got knocked down too. Just don't be an asshole in pursuit of profit and you'll be fine.

    The fact that she was switching between crying and not crying so quickly during her "apology" makes me not believe a single word of it. Plus, people like her are never that easily changed. I'm glad she changed enough for the business to do well though

      Well, you're just about as much an idiot as her. You don't understand how basic emotions work. Switching between crying and not crying is normal. She is probably mostly sad that everyone hates her, but it's still real sadness.
      Also the show is heavily edited with absolutely no regard for continuity.
