Momofuku wasn't even the first company to make this chili oil sauce.

-_-_-_-_... So, you can't tell people to stop using your term when it's not your term yet??? A company sending out C&D's to smaller brands (Like they did for Homiah, for example) could potentially threaten the continued existence of those brands and their owners' livelihoods. If, for example, the Heinz corporation tried trademarking the word "ketchup" and then went on to bully every other ketchup manufacturer out of using that word, even before their trademarking attempt was even cleared, then they're essentially just using the size of their name as a cudgel against other brands.

I don't know what this particular controversy is about, but I think people do have good reason to get up in arms when companies try to trademark incredibly mundane things. It's taking credit for something you had no hand in creating or popularizing, which is the exact opposite of the spirit of recognizing intellectual property. When companies get away with this it just proves that intellectual property laws are broken under late state capitalism.

I have a cousin that owns a fairly successful business, and from him I've learned that copyright/trademark law basically requires you to be a scumbag, because if you're not willing to protect and defend your IP from anyone who'd potentially encroach upon you, you lose the protection of the copyright/trademark. My cousin hates that his lawyer tells him that he at least needs to inform the other party that it's in their interests to maybe change their IP so it's not a problem, but this is how the system's structured.

[@KainYusanagi]

While this is true, he tried to trademark "Chili Crunch". As in, the "chili", the main ingredient of a million other similar sauces, and "crunch", the texture, same as previous. Furthermore, the original Mandarin name can be translated as "Crisp" *or* "Crunch", because it's not an exact translation, AND he's trying to claim ignorance of the fact that people read "crisp" and "crunch" as synonyms. So no, he doesn't deserve any defense for pulling a React Channel.

[@LabTech41]

@@KainYusanagi I'm not excusing his behavior if this is what he did; I'm explaining that even under ideal circumstances, like my cousin who's basically the most "live and let live" guy I know, HAS to be half a scumbag, because then otherwise his company's name and potentially it's reputation become at risk. He's already had a number of knock-off companies try to 'borrow' his company's name, and there's even a firm in China that's openly stealing his IP. Frankly, copyright/trademark law needs some kind of overhaul to accomplish two things: make sure good people don't have to become scumbags, and make sure bad people don't get to abuse the system.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@LabTech41 There's a difference between a company name (which is bad enough at times) and a product that already has a genericized name that is basically created from descriptors, either way.
