Never-Miss No Flash for touch up

I see you're maybe taking my suggestion on the name(?) Btw: 'No Flash' is a common law trademarked name, owned by Innovation Focus. There's a record in a time lock intellectual property site that establishes it as being created by I.F. before the time of your post. That'll be 5,000.00 U.S., please, for the intellectual property rights. ~

How about Never-Miss No Flash Pro? After all, we're dealing with a professional product here. Or No Flash Pro, from Never-Miss?

Whichever, I'm looking forward to trying it.

JustMe

Or segment the market - No Flash Pro, and Never-Miss TouchUp. *property of Innovation Focus*

I'm making all kinds of money here. ~

How about 'Now You See It, Now You Don't" ....

Or "Houdini"...

Or "Mud Camo"...

Or "Blind Spot"...

Or "Hide-a-Spot"...

That'll be 10c a bottle please....

Hey, go find your own way to make some real money.

Besides, in mega product market we now have, with mega advertising coming from everywhere at everybody, in this instance should........ probably...... stay..... more...... associatively....... descriptive....... of......... #1 benefit being wanted/looked for by user.

I've decided to waive my company's intellectual property rights under the Lanham Act and turn over the names No Flash Pro and Never-Miss TouchUp to Never-Miss, to do with as that said company wishes.

I did a quick check of the U.S. Trademark Office. Both should be okay. Nothing looks to be too 'confusingly similar' (but I don't promise it, especially with such a brief check, so you might want to check it as well). You should be able to start putting 'TM' behind them whenever you'd like (no $ or filing of anything required), to lay 'common law' claim to them, and to impress the natives that you are using 'TM' on them. (Don't use 'R' with a circle till you've spent the money to get them formally checked and registered.)

Riggs,

You'd potentially have big problems with your 'Hide-A-Spot'.

On 2nd thought, No Flash Pro might be considered too close to No Pock Pro, both being in the same category - treating drywall mud. If taken to court, it might be successfully argued buyers could perceive that both came from the same company. 'No Flash' should be okay, though. Neither No Flash or No Pock is a highly 'coined' name, but quite descriptive of the benefit being offered. Intellectual property lawyers usually don't like such, but the buying marketplace often does, especially for things like smaller ticket items. Often makes buying a little easier, when the name tells what the product can do for them.

'No Flash(TM), from Never-Miss - A professional formula for ........'

Have you guys seen the Well Hung Robot yet? Some Japanese students have invented this robot exoskeleton for hanging sheetrock. http://news.3yen.com/2008-02-19/well-hung-robot/

As far as new drywall tools that are actually available now... well, Columbia Taping Tools just released a New Nail Spotter, Angle Head with Wheels, Bent Box Handle, Compound Applicator Tube, etc.

Apla-Tech's Continuous Flow System with Slimline Boxes are pretty trick and fairly new. If you have a Graco Mark V or Mark X already, the cost of entry into the Continuous Flow System isn't too bad.

I heard that Blue Line USA is working on a couple new things that should be out fairly soon. Oh, and we find out all the time that many people didn't even know that the Blue Line USA Automatic Taper has a quick disconnect head that removes without tools? New to some people - old to others.

Marshalltown has just released a new line of Sanding Foam Sheets to be used on a traditional drywall sander. If you have used them, let us know what you think.

The new Graco Truecoat Sprayer has been selling very well for us.

Despite many of the new import drywall sanders out there, the Porter Cable 7800 Drywall Sander is still on top here in the U.S. (we are giving away a free DeWalt Router with it right now.)

Never Miss Coloring Gel has really been catching on in Canada. We have some free samples if anyone wants to try it out - PM me.

Structus HydroTrim - water activated bead is pretty new too. Anyone that we've dealt with seems to be raving about it. Spray it with water… let is activate… stick it to the wall… whack it with a bat. http://www.hydrotrimcorner.com/

I urge anyone with new products for the drywall industry to give us a call anytime. We are always looking for the new goods. If you want to earn some free Wall Points, we urge you to write some reviews on any of the products we sell - 5 points for every review. If you write something really useful… something that makes someone think a bit… I may be inspired to double the points? Feedback is always welcome and appreciated. And thanks to all the manufacturers and innovators out there for constantly bringing innovation (or at least trying) to the drywall market!
