Over the past few weeks, a large amount Orgonite/orgone energy artists have been contacted by an associate of Karl Hans Welz who is the trademark owner of the term "Orgonite" & "Orgone Generator" . Many people have been given the option to not use the word and remove it from any type of social media, online store, content that contains the word or pay a royalty fee to Mr.Karl Welz monthly to have exclusive permission rights to use the word, or use a variation of the term. The trademark has been in effect since 1996, but was recently just renewed. Originally the word " Orgonite" was a unique term, allowing it be trademarked, but no enforcement was made of the term since its initial trademark registration. As many of you know the term has been widely used by many many people, from orgonite creators, to those interested in the art or within the same industry, such as crystals, natural stones, and products.
Due to this coming to our attention about the trademarking of the term "Orgonite" & "Orgone Generator" in the past few weeks. We have come together to form the United Assocation of Orgonite Artists (UAOA) , we have filed an appeal to the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) - specifically the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board (TTAB). As the term "Orgonite" & "Orgone Genrators" has become a dictionary term also known as a generic term.Trademark Act Section 14(3) ⚠️⚠️⚠️ we are asking for the help from the public to get as many people as possible to sign this petition, the prove that the public also believes that the term" orgonite" & "orgone generators" are now classed as a dictionary term, and that the trademark should be cancelled. ⚠️🙏🏼❤Please click the link below or in my bio and sign the petition & share share share! We need our voices to be heard❤🙏🏼⚠️
