Comments:Dear Sir/Madam

Please can you take a look at my blog. I am using the word Ziploc Bag in the tittle. I was about to produce a tee-shirt with the words ‘Ziploc Bag’ on it and then I was reminded that the word Ziploc is trade marked.

Please check out my blog at http://www.lunch.lt/ziploc-bag and advise me. I am hoping to publish a book with the same tittle.

Waiting you reply.

Yours faithfully
Kel Fowler

Dear Kel,

many thanks for contacting SCJ concerning the usage of Ziplock name in your t-shirt and book. It is great that our brand has made so good impression but we are not able to give the permission to use it in the purposes not managed by SCJ company itself.

We hope you all the best

Kind regards

Soile

Thanks for letting me know, I kind of expected that. I presume the same also applies for my blog?

It will take me quite some time to remove your brand from everything, but I will start doing that.

Cheers Kel
