Name conflict?

[Mulder]

Hey,

This is just a heads up and not an invitation to a flame war. The Toronto Prelude Club also goes by 'TPC' and some members seem to have a problem that the protege club also goes by TPC...http://www.hondaprelude.to/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17178

What are your opinions about this topic? Should the protege club change its name???

[macklum]

Which club has been aroud the longest ?

[5alive]

See below...

[KurtMP3]

Im pretty sure you cant have a trademark on a acronym...Its also funny to see how they get pissed that everyone thinks TPC is the Protege Club...You know what that proves to me we've done a good job in the years we've been active to build this club to what it is now. We're recognized!

The guy who complains about TPCstickers on his car blah blah should realize there are no TPC stickers and the only thing we have TPC on is the back of the TShirts...HELLO! How does our logo look like yours? Because we have the same 3 letters? Like i said i dont think you can trademark and acronym....

Dont even get into a fight over this, i dont think we need to change anything. We are the TORONTO PROTEGE CLUB which happens to be shortened sometimes to TPC...And i think ive never heard someone refer to us as TPC anyways, the tshirts was the 1st time i saw us listed that way

We're Toronto Protege Club or TOPROTEGE

[ENVD P5]

Isnt the name of this club TOProtege.com ??? Isnt this what we came up with when there was only a few of us ? Isnt this the name we chose because of the Prelude club ? All new ppl I think need to realise that.

[YP5 Toronto]

Please do not go on thier board and start anything....please. Let us come up with a proper response.

Mulder....let us figure out a couple of things. We DO NOT want to create any beef between the clubs over something very simple.

[prote_joe5]

Did anyone read that thread.  Give me a break!

[seadooguy]

That's funny reading about the prelude guys talking about us...

Who cares about us both having TPC as a abbreviation..

What's the big dealyo?

[YP5 Toronto]

I can understand where they are coming from....they have had those initials for years.

When the original group of guys got together to name this club, we did take into consideration that Toronto Protege Club would not really work...hence our creation of TOProtege.com.

[Mulder]

Hey, I dont want to start beef! I'm offended you would think that http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Can't argue with that!  Well put.

[KeeWee]

Jason you did a good job at addressing their comments on their board. The guy responded back maturely, so hopefully nothing negative will come of this....

[ChopstickHero]

Bumble: good, rational and well thoughtout reply.  I like reading replies like that.   http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

But Jason is right on this one, we don't want to start a flame war.

IMO, acronyms are just that.  You can make an acronym out of anything.  FORD - Fast Only Rolling Downhill. Anyways, I found this acronym site and searched for &quot;TPC&quot; and it gave me a list of TPC related websites. http://www.acronymfinder.com/

TPC  Tactical Pilotage Chart    
TPC  Tax Policy Center    
TPC  Technical Programme Committee    
TPC  Technology Partnerships Canada    
TPC  Telecommunications Planning Committee    
TPC  Telemetry Preprocessing Computers    
TPC  Teleprocessing Center    
TPC  Temporary Process Change    
TPC  Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium    
TPC  Test Port Card (Hekimian)    
TPC  Texas Penal Code    
TPC  Texas Petrochemicals Corporation (now Texas Petrochemicals LP)    
TPC  Texas Petrochemicals LP (formerly Texas Petrochemicals Corporation)    
TPC  Texas Professional Communicators    
TPC  The Phone Company (from the movie The President's Analyst)    
TPC  The Providence Center for Counseling and Psychiatric Services    
TPC  Time Projection Chamber    
TPC  Tire Pressure Controller    
TPC  Tons Per Centimeter    
TPC  Total Program Concept

So the Toronto Prelude Club should be taking it up with all of these companies before they come knocking us.

damn those typacil cocky honduh people.

its just 3 letters, big freaking deal.

[feedb4ck]

This is just me, but if they have regiestered the TPC acronym as part of the club, I believe that they own it...

I doubt any other company or group could start calling themselves IBM without garnering some legal action from them.

But if they haven't regiestered it, then it's fair game to anyone to use, until it is registered, or until the group/company that does have it registered takes some type of action.

Of course, my legalese is generally suspect and limited to the realm of the Music Business, but even there, if my name happened to be Mark Anthony, I've heard from some sources that I wouldn't be allowed to use it professionally because of that other guy.

Trademarking laws are kinda silly that way.

The same goes for their logo, if it's not registered, we could technically make something rather similar, and it's all fair... (they could do some legal shizz, cuz they have been using it, and if they can prove they had it before us, they might have legal rights, but still.... )

Perhaps we have a lawyer in the group?
I'll see if I can round up some of my legal type 416ers.

[Bumble G]

It's no biggy for me it's just an aconym.

We can ask them to produce the legal documents for holding TPC as their registered acronym. No documents means we share it; if they have documents, that means that we change it.

[KurtMP3]

Change what? we're toprotege our acronym just happens to be TPC

I dont think we should change around the order of the Toronto Protege Club just because of this

Nah, we ain't gonna do that - I think their beef is that we seem to use the acronym too much.

Quite frankly, it's a moot point as Bumble G has pointed out - if it's neither a federally or provincially incorporated name/entity, it's free game to anyone who wants to use it.

The only ones that could legally do anything about it is the entity that goes out and registers 'TPC'.


dr_&quot;I can't believe that we're actually discussing such an inane topic - after, all we're toprotege.com, aren't we?&quot;_sarcasm.

[ENVD P5]

Wait wait wait.... someone correct me if Im wrong. Isnt there a reason for TOProtege in our name ? Wasnt that supposed to be &quot;our&quot; acronym? I bet Jay knows what Im refering to. None of us ever used the TPC anywhere.

[SunBurst-P5]

Like others have brought up earlier...no sense starting a war over nothing. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif There are several acronyms that are the same, but mean different things. It's all in what you know and your perspective. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Just cuz one person gets the two confused..that's no reason for ANY club or company to change their acronym! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[feedb4ck]

Yes yes and yes to all the various points here...

I think the jist of it all is that they (Preludes) are upset because 'their' acronym is now being recognized as our acronym, through no malicious intent of our own.

As has been stated, we're TOProtege, not TPC.
We've apparenlty used TPC officially on what, a hundred or so tshirts??

I don't see how our logo looks like theirs... three words can only look so different when only one word is different, and I think that they're significantly different... (basically, alot of the legality is distinguishablity between the two... red vs blue, to vs. toronto, they have the tpc initials above theirs... theirs is underlined, ours is a joined p and g. significant differences in my mind.

anyways, i just like going off on this, for no good reason except to avoid homework...

they're just bitter because our club is now more prominant than theirs. (and our cars are better, our guys are stronger, and our ladies just put them to shame.)

[YP5 Toronto]

Agreed our club is better!!! LOL!

The issue is not the order of our name Toronto Protege Club.... we are NOT TPC..... we are TOProtege.com.

We can certainly use it and call it by TPC for convience sake...but I think where things get a bit messy is when we used it in print.

When I think of TPC I typically think of the prelude guys. They have been around for years amd are know by many as TPC.

Just my thoughts.....oh yeah they may be a bit bias because I came up with TOProtege.com one faithful afternoon at Tim Hortons at 16th and woodbine with about 10 original members.

[SunBurst-P5]

meh...oh well...life goes on! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[rowan]

As everyone has already mentioned ...

I do not recall every referring to ourselves in any official capacity as TPC. It has always been &quot;Toronto Protege Club&quot; or &quot;TO Protege&quot;.

Those Prelude guys are just pissed because Honda stopped making their car ... and in about four more years their cars will all be dead and rusted out and there won't be any more reason to have a &quot;Prelude&quot; club http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Hey .. if their cars are faster than ours, how come with keep beating Marshal at his own events (WOSCA) *lol* http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Oh wait someone already mentioned that in the thread.

But seriously .. I don't think there was never an intention of stealing their initials because we all knew the Prelude club existed before we named this one.

It doesn't appear that they are incorporated as an official orgainzation of any kind, nor are we. The initials are not legally protected one way or the other, but it's not like we are trying to bite them.

What's the point of deliberately making a confusing name for something as simple as a car club just because your car stars with the same letter as something else? http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[GrantTPC]

Hi there, it's actually kinda funny reading the responses here.

First of personally I didn't have a real issue with TOProtege using TPC on your T-shirts. I even approached one of your members at the autoshow and refered to you guys as &quot;the 'other' TPC&quot;. (It's been a running joke on our webboard foe a couple of years now). The way I saw it was you guys are adverting for us... but at the same time it's creating alot of confusion as well http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif this is where the problem arises. It would be much easier if the TOProege would not use &quot;our&quot; initals.. but at the same time we won't go to court over it.

We have been using the TPC acronym and the Toronto Prelude Club name for a long time over 5 years now.. Since the first logo was place into public view it is now automatically copyrighted (but not trademarked) with no need to register (copyright laws have changed) Registration only makes it easier if there is a legal dispute because one does not need to dig up records to prove who had the rights first.

The Toronto Prelude Club is in process of registering as a not-for-profit organization (we wanted to see if the club really would be popular enough since we were one of the first model specific sport compact car clubs in Canada). and hopefully we will be fully incorporated by this time next year.

There is no need to bicker or have a &quot;war&quot; over three intials and obviously they will look 'similar'. How different can you make the letters &quot;T&quot;, &quot;P&quot; and &quot;C&quot; look anyway? http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

If this is a real issue our two admintrative comittees will get together and work somthing out. We should sit down and have some coffee anyway. Maybe some of your members would like to participate in our advanced driving schools or try out the Protege on the track - the powerful cars aren't always the fastest cars...

Oh BTW for you guys that &quot;dissed&quot; the owners of Preludes. You should know that at least two of our members also own Protege's. When the Protege5 came out it was in the top two cars to buy (in its catagory) and created quite a bit of excitment with the (original) TPC members. It was due to the discussion on our webboard that they chose to purchase those cars. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

And as far as, &quot;the Prelude guys are just pissed because Honda stopped making their car ... and in about four more years their cars will all be dead and rusted out and there won't be any more reason to have a &quot;Prelude&quot; club&quot;. Tell that to the MG Club of Canada...or better yet the RX7 club... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dontgetit.gif

[jali-p5]

i'm not sure what the real arguements are here and if there is a problem b/n members in either club wondering who uses TPC, then it's a matter for the administrative group to handle and should not be fuelled by the ramblings of members who just seem to cause more trouble.......

given that they've been around longer, and given that copyright laws change, but the last time i checked our stickers don't have &quot;TPC&quot; anywhere on it.........

and i'd have to agree with grant that reading all this thread is funny and what some members say are pretty lame, but it's all harmless fun.........why can't we all just live in peace and share and stuff http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif hahahahahhaa.........like that's ever going to happen.......it's male testosterone building up and everyone wants the claim to fame........i say take the initials cause we're TOPROTEGE.COM and NOT TPC......... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/baaa.gif

We do not feel in any way protective of the TPC acronym. This was a one-time incident that has caused some interesting confusion, although I don't think any permanent damage has been done.

Better to come to an official understanding though!

I will allow Tax, Chops, or Jason (YP5) to respond at a later time if they would like to make an official statement on behalf of toprotege.

On a side note, it seems tpc.ca domain is available on backorder .. you might want to pick it up! hehe

[Fhemto]

Hey Grant, I was the one that you talked to at the show.

I think that by having two clubs, having the same acronym in the same city makes a lot of confusion. As far as I know, we have always refer ourselves as toronto protege club, or toprotge. Our stickers, cards all say toprotege. We don't use the initials TPC except for what we have on the back of our shirts, and I believe that was an honest mistake for not accounting the prelude club. I'm sure the last thing we want to do is to confuse people.

Anyway it's good that things like this happen because it just opens doors for clubs to communicate..  ironicaly our relationship with the TSC (Toronto Subaru Club) started close to the same way.  

They were bashing Civics and somehow grouped Preludes into the same class of vehicle (and social group - ricers) so we challenged them to a grudge match at Mosport on the Driver development track.  Let's just say that by the end of the day there were more Preludes still lapping then WRXs. Seems subies are really hard on tires. or it could be the drivers.. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif  We have been particpating in joint track events since.

Oh and about TPC.ca we're waiting on it we already own hondaprelude.ca and a couple other &quot;TO/Prelude&quot; domain derivatives as well..

&lt;edit&gt; It seems the Toronto Prelude Club already owns the TPC.ca domain... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif
