Olympics and Trademarking

Anonymous Sun 21 Jul 2024 23:00:15 No.1477019 View View Reply Original Report

OK semi-serious question now.
Are the Olympic Games® (or just the Olympics®) a trademark or not? Can I use the term Kitchen Olympics without getting into trouble with the IOC?
What would I use KO for? To hell if I know. I also hate the fact that so many things can be copyrighted these days, and I want to make some people mald

If it isn't for profit it's irrelevant in the first place, worst case scenario reupload it or host it on your own site and tell them to shove it. If it is then ao the anime route where you slightly alter the logo or name if you're really that worried. Caring about copyright is the only reason it works on the internet anyways, so just don't.

Do you even know what the IOC is? Their business is the brand, not the games. They will action anything they see

Citation needed. Do you have any proof this defense has worked when faced by the ICO's lawyers?
