My take on this is as follows.........You SHOULD be able to Copyright your gloves under the names that you give them. The glove itself is a product.......no different than any other product. Take an automobile for example....... There are SEVERAL companies that make automobiles, but none of them paid for the right to build the automobiles........they only pay to Copyright or Trademark THEIR particular brand and the 'make" of the automobile ( Ford trademarks the "FORD" name and the "MUSTANG" name..............GMC Trademarks the name "Chevrolet" and the name "CORVETTE" ) but they all make the SAME things.........CARS.You are not claiming that you "designed" or "invented" the glove with knives on the fingers..........same as Toyota is not saying they invented the automobile. Toyota says they "produce" the "CAMRY".........just as you are saying you "produce" the Resurrection glove. For another maker to lay claim to that name for the same type of product is a violation of Copyright Law.........if the name is Trademarked to your company. Without you Trademarking the name, legally the name is up for grabs. It doesn't make what he is doing right.............but it is legal. Also sucks like crazy.Lay into him........Let him know you are an established craftsman that has been building these gloves for "this long" and you feel that he has stepped over the line by using YOUR names one his products.Also let him know that he should use his own products and not yours when he is claiming to DEMO "his" product. Let him know that by DEMOing "your" product and claiming that it is "his" product only shows that "his" product MUST BE inferior to yours.......for that is the only reason he would be doing that.I think you should do it in a Video Responce to his YouTube Vids. Show people your products and show them "his"..........let them see he is claiming your work as his own. Show stills of your site showing your gloves and there names so people can see that this guy is stepping on your name and your hard work.These are just my opinions...........but I hope you get this sorted out. You work WAY to hard to have someone else "bite your style".420Smiles
