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.

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 ........'

Mexicans.

The new round pan and mixing paddle by Shreetrock rocks. Also my little pan compressor with a 25' air hose with the toolshop 1/4" by 1" staples to attach corner bead instead of nailing.
Pay attention dude, he said within the past 5 years or so. Mexicans have been around for longer than that.

Anything I'm missing that is popular in your guys' neck of the woods?
I dont think that string on a spong has made it's way South.
