FX-Unit Yuki: The Henshin Engine for TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine

Well that sucks.  This reminds me of when Candy Crush sued the Banner Saga for having the gall to use the word "Saga" in their name.  It sounds to me like this guy has nothing to stand on though.  After all, how else does Dove soap and Dove chocolate exist in the same world?

they aren't competing markets.

people don't eat soap.

Just change the name to 'PC Transform'  , unless Hasbro manages to sue you (not that likely, as the word Henshin is a foreign word outside Japan it's more reasonable to have been trademarked in non-Japanese countries, whereas the word "transform" is quite generic to be trademarkable, though it didn't stop M$ from trying to TM words like Office and... well... Word, and, you guys mentioned it already, SAGA).

Hey now, I happen to like the eating soap!  Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness.

This all reminds me of how Hasbro almost lost the name Megatron to some Korean company or something that had some device coming out called the Megatron, though I don't know if said device ever got released.

You social media peeps should shit all over this guy with yelp reviews, youtube review videos, etc.  Make him regret his predatory shenanigans and ruin the name of "henshin", so any time someone googles the name they see multiple negative comments alongside his site.

HENSHIN.COM GAVE ME CRABS.

Well that certainly is trans-formative.

People are such a$$holes. There’s nothing you can do about this except come up with a different pun. You win at law by winning at capitalism first. Without a pile of money you’ll never get these a$$holes to go away, despite them not having a legal or ethical leg to stand on (a single non-proper word is not prior art). It doesn’t matter. Bummer.

[Necromancer]

Yep, it's complete shit.  I've no doubt you'd prevail if you took him to court, but the reality of going to court is that only the lawyers win.

That shitty Henshin website has a mailing address.  I like sending good old fashioned hate mail.  I only need to send two words to relay my feelings.

On the upside since Arks talking about dove, I have sweet dove chocolate banners for ads now on the site.

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Being the genius that he is, Saru not only found a way around the trademark issue, but also came up with a name and concept that was actually superior to what it was before.

Well tell him to get his butt here and tell us about it.
