First rule of establishing the facts. Never ask the guy you suspect for documentary evidence they are telling the truth.I have received documentation that I will have reviewed. Its all in Chinese, so dont expect me answering in a day.
I really don't care anymore. I love their stuff and going to buy as long as possibleYou may be right but at the same time let's face it, China has little respect for IP trademark laws that the most of the world recognizes and they bootleg everything under the sun. If they're legit that's great but people have the right to be suspicious when they have a long and storied history of making business out of it.
The trademark are registered as associated trademark in cases where two marks registered under same class are identical or so nearly resemble each other as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion, if used by a person other than the proprietor in respect of the same goods or description of goods or services......Lars, your post clearly says "trademarking" which is the same thing as "registered trademark". His question is on point.
In case you are referring to me. 1) I never said they weren't nice. 2) I own some great "unofficial" stuff.
And some people who did buy btw, got letters from customs of seizure as discussed in the hellboy thread. fyi. But that never meant that the hellboy edition wasn't awesomely made.
Remember SteelArchive? They ran off with thousands of dollars from members. People take caution is all cause not every retailer will or can economically reimburse those whose items get caught etc. Consumers and members of the Community do not know the difference of what is 100% legit and what isnt. What has a license for x territory and not global etc. Just a matter of slowing down the process, trying to make sure people are safe. That is all.

I'm already 7 hours looking and searching for the word registered in my post...... Still can not find it....
Really ? Did not know that ... so SA is goner for good ?!
If you give any money to SA now consider it a donation. They ran off with the money on their last releases. Cant remember what title it was. But Aniv lost like thousand bucks, and I know a guy on IG who lost like $700. They contacted him via all social channels and direct emails and once everything was past the paypal limitation he stopped responding to all.
thank you for finally making a post that proves your just trying to be a pompous ass and not claim stupid like you've done in all your previous sarcastic comments towards me.
Whether its a trademark or a registered trademark the registered version takes a long time to gain as with it taking over 10 years for steelbook. You can be patent pending for a long time.
There are many packaging suppliers who offer printing on wood, hence why i asked to see some type of proof is all. I have no problem being wrong on anything as im only seeking the truth that is all. I know that upon searching the world trademark database there is nothing for uhd club. Perhaps to help further boast your claim they have a parent company to which their design is patent pending trademark.
My Chinese contacts claim they have such for the box and leather version as well. Tho anyone making anything would likely claim such as well, so just simply trying to see evidence is all. Any trademark info is ALWAYS available ONLINE ... so its not hard to link.
Anyone who has gone as far as to trademark something, would likely also be selling online via 1) their online shop or 2) selling this packaging to other Companies as there is much more money to be made B2B then to consumers if you have trademarked packaging. Selling secretly on facebook and forums is done to avoid certain things. There are other Companies that do this as we alll know .... I have no problem with them joining that bunch if that is the case ... but there is a way to go about doing that and it has always been the art chosen that raised the eyebrows.
WOW! Did not know that about SA... I knew there were issues but last I saw he was selling copies of Prisoners and Turbo Kid on his eBay shop. Didn't know he actually made off with folks money beforehand! What a ¢#%@! I thought him and @Aniv were "good friends"??? (Can't say I'm surprised though...)If you give any money to SA now consider it a donation. They ran off with the money on their last releases. Cant remember what title it was.

How did it work out for Filmarena when they just stole some fan-art on the web and used it for their most wanted edition WoW? I remember it was pointed out to the ''designer'' and he contacted FA and they made a deal.... But now I'm very curious if FA got approval from Universal to release this edition with an internet-fan-art as main art

Shame on @DuckDogers
Thats not that uncommon tho.What I dont understand is HDzeta had the rights to release Wonder Woman. So how in hell is UHD club release of Wonder Woman legit????????
Ok , hey let me borrow a G ... I'll pay you back ..... someday.Only people I blindly trust can do anything like that. Yeah I dont know what went wrong, was a great guy. Its been so long that I am not #hurt anymore about the issue. Luckily I turned it into a profit venture and sold off all spares of his stuff @ good prices on the bay to recover my loss. lol. I know some other friends sold their copies too, I am still hanging on to one set for old times sake.
Anyhow if he decides to talk to me again someday I wont hold any hard feelings, if you know me IRL you would know its not always about money.
