Subject: Resident opposes amending First Filing or Excusable nonuse
Resent...
As a minority entrepreneur, I believe that any "...legislaltive change to amend the first filing deadline for Affidavits or Declarations of Use or Excusable Nonuse under Sections 8 and 71 of the Trade Mark Act..., as I understand it, would be detrimental, and prejudicial to those similarly situated as myself, [Founder of the National Tennis Teacher's College (1976),since I am not an attorney, and cannot afford legal assistance to protect my rights, as inventor of the ACE-Maker, other copyrighted articles, which my documents show should be on file.
I filed and believe I copyrighted several items with the Department of Commerce as I was instructed, and considered my mark, and submissions were protected.
As a minority entrepreneur, I don't have the staff, wherewithall, money, time to constantly survey, investigate, or litigate any claim jumping which might occur to protect my registration, and copyright. I'm simply trying to start a viable business, that I see is needed.
Further, if I were to attempt to represent myself in a court of law, which I have attempted to do in North Carolina, the legal system is such a monopoly that judges would not, and have not given--in my opinion--fair time, and consideration of my other claims for financial, and political reasons.
