I find it funny that Port found this out but yet Brad Schlossman is silent on the matter.

Considering discussions have been ongoing for quite a while, you're going to go bust.

I see some folks finally caught onto the subliminal messaging posted her recently, eh?  Welcome to the party!

What's awhile? >48 hours

[UND08]

I'd assume that Port wrote this article with pending FOIA requests to determine how much money has been paid to the Berry's for this trademark.

This will likely get worse before it gets better...Heads roll over this kind of crap a lot...

If that's the o/u line, I'll be happy to put mortgage on the over.

Yeah, this is not a good situation. I found it funny that the company who has rights to the trademark NODAK LLC is registered by Brianna Berry company address in Minnetonka. The person who lives/owns that residence is a Daniel Kristo. This just get more and more interesting. lol

What do you mean it will get worse? Berry is the savior of our hockey program and he cannot do anything wrong!

The only thing that he would be at fault for would be knocking boots with her.

Yeah, he certainly is not at fault it was just funny as I haven't heard his name for awhile.

Can you knock "boots" with her if you don't have all of a foot??  Or would "knocking a boot with her" be more grammatically appropriate??? 

Just kidding of course...

Amazing how he just “found out” about this, isn’t it?

That would imply that adidas is printing jerseys and not checking the wordmarks they are putting on them.

I want to know motivations and intent. If the Berrys' intended to register the trademark with the motivation to leverage a buyout later on, then I might join the "Fire Berry" crowd because that shows a complete absence of common sense and ethics.

But, I am willing to hear the situation out first....

[Blackheart]

So does this qualify as a “brad” actor owning the trademark?

If that's the case, how'd this happen?
