The Interpreter Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Dippin' Dots is a registered trademark, and, as such, is always capitalized here. EDIT: Added apostrophe. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There's a Rita's not 10 miles away from me in Kettering and I've never had it. I need to remedy that sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 ^^Rita's Water Ice ^If you're going to correct people you might as well be right. Wow. The way something is stylized in a logo does not necessarily correlate to its legal spelling. I doubt a corporate email to the headquarters of the company (Dippin' Dots, Inc.) would be returned "Thank you for your interest in dippin' dots..."

bkroz Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Dippin' Dots, LLC would no doubt be more worried about their product becoming a generic description of ice cream (let me google that on Yahoo dot com) than about it being presented without an apostrophe. They're smart enough to have prepared for the apostrophe situation. http://www.trademarkia.com/dippin-dots-73767437.html The idea is: trademarks are important. The Interpreter is right to defend them. A lesson learned early on here is that intellectual property must be accurately represented. If we use Google to search for something, Google and their lawyers appreciate for it to be presented as such. I don't know a whole lot about it, but it seems to me that the way a name is stylized in a logo does not detract from its legal standing. If you're a fan of Disney Parks, you'll notice that "it's a small world" and "a bug's land" are always presented in quotation marks when using lower-case. I don't know what - if anything - that has to do with legal trademark, but I bet it's got something to do with it! EDITED for kindness.
