Things Get Violent Over Pokemon Seller With Similar Name

[@TheGoorru]

"OMG,!! you stole my name that I stole from someone else"

[@RattlePokemon]

Pretty much.

[@jamessergon]

@@RattlePokemon yep :P my first thought was that they know nothing about IP / trademarks in the first place. So many LGS / card sellers infringe trademarks in their names or logos / merch. Even not considering the fact that they put their capacity to earn money at risk with all the TD infringements, they are setting their business (growth) to fail with no brand recognition potential. In a market in which everyone is selling the same stuff at about the same price, for the most part, the 2 differential factors are service/reputation and branding.

[@PokeKid96]

It's all good, I stole the name too now hahaha

[@str8nashtygaming466]

It's the spiderman meme IRL

[@RickInMaryland]

The North Carolina couple did not steal anything. Nintendo does not own the rights to "Catch Em." They own the rights to "Gotta Catch 'em AlL!" A company in Delaware owns the rights to "Catch Em." Even though they own the trademark to that phrase, it doesn't mean they can stop another company form using those two words in their title. They can stop a company from only using "Catch Em" as a title.

[@GYRAGN]

You can hear in the tone of her voice, she went to that show with the clear intentions to cause a scene. They look like clowns. Thanks Rattle on the video!

[@PokeMantooth]

As a local it’s really fun watching all this unfold because the NC store owners are CONSTANT drama in the community. This is just the first time they have actually been called out for their BS. Joe snapped at me during a trade night because he offered someone in the store like $30 for their base set unlimited charizard. I paid them $100 for the card and he snapped at me saying I screwed him out of a deal and that I’m stupid and over paid. Then snapped at the other guy for not selling him the card since it was his trade event.

People were accusing him of the break in being fraud wayyyyyyy before all this. He had inventory that wasn’t selling and everyone who frequents there knows it. The only things stolen were those inventory items that weren’t selling. Him mentioning that in regards to this makes him look so guilty! 😂

[@ridgedart2102]

It’s telling when you talk over someone, interrupt them, go on for lengthy periods, don’t confess to any mistakes on your part, and get defensive when a person is calmly asking questions about where you might be wrong. The amount of praise they gave themselves, “when you’re doing something good, people will hate you” is just crazy

[@spankydoodlegaming6971]

Omg calling “Catch ‘em all” her intellectual property is batshit crazy 😂

Right? She stole the intellectual property from the Pokémon company and is too stupid to know it.

The way she said the "brand I built" like she's not riding off the backs of the Pokémon Company. These slimey people need to gtfoh.

[@RickInMaryland]

That's not the name. The name is "Catch Em Collectibles." They registered that business name with the state of North Carolina back in February 2021. It means, among other things, that only they are allowed to conduct business in North Carolina with that name. The couple from South Carolina are not.

[@spankydoodlegaming6971]

@@RickInMaryland I don’t care. Send em to the dungeons. Feed em to the hounds. Trademark my ass cheek prints on their foreheads. I’ve seen 10+ resellers/creators with that name. They’re going to get real tired of paying for cease and desists.

[@DamienGuyton]

Best thing is she keeps going on about “fact” how ever she then turns around and said that the guy was intimidating her…. I feel like that is subjective and not a “fact”

[@jamessergon]

"Gotta Catch Em All" is trademarked by Nintendo of America. "Catch em collectibles" is indeed a pending trademark, and it will never be accepted by the lawyer assigned.

[@35auburn]

Correct. The assigned lawyer already refused the application, citing consumer confusion with the existing nintendo/pokemon trademarks. Would be shocking if there's any information that NC can provide that would change this refusal.

[@GetINYurBall]

This non-sense about a “common law trademark” is absolutely hilarious. If you don’t own the underlying IP or have a trademark on the source material, your common law trademark isn’t enforceable or applicable. Did these people pay a dollar store lawyer to just agree with them? They have zero chance of winning anything and if they just go forward will just be wasting money that bankrupts them or closes their business.

1st couple are definitly clowns. I got kids too. I curse too. Not at a kid friendly place other peoples kids are not my kids. I also love how they tried to argue every point you make with "im a man" or "we are truthful people" the second couple or dude specifically definitly seemed to just want atention from this. However id also say i dont care if they sponsored the event or not they should have been kicked out for causing the scene . Sponsors should be held to a HIGHER standard. If you cant run this show without that 1 sponsorship you got bigger problems with your show.

[@MrJf300z]

Let's be clear on the sponsorship amount. It was $125. Which $85 of was spent buying plushies from SC CatchEms table, that was then immediately given away to kids right in front of their booth.

The main issue is approaching the booth and acting like a fool. If you plan on taking legal action leave it at that and actually do it. (IMO they both stole the name obviously) Bullying is much less intimidating than composure.

She did not say that. A company in Delaware owns "Catch Em." The couple in North Carolina own the name "Catch Em Collectibles." They registered that name with the state of North Carolina. They also filed for trademark protection of the name in September 2023. It's still pending.

[@michaellashock9769]

@@RickInMaryland thanks for being so perfectly specific. I’m glad someone clarified why catch em collectibles is her intellectual property. She truly deserves that trademark now!

[@RickInMaryland]

@@michaellashock9769 It's not even an issue of trademark. That has to be decided at the federal level. The US Patent and Trademark Office has yet to give their final ruling. What is the issue is who can operate in North Carolina as Catch Em Collectibles. The North Carolina couple registered that Doing Business As (DBA) with the the state in Feb. 2021. One of the things it means is they are the only business that can use that DBA in North Carolina. The South Carolina couple can not.

[@Scoofnie]

Hilarious these people are worried about intellectual property, these people stole my ebay photos and used them as their own after I basically went from nothing to one of the top 5 pokemon sellers on ebay. They even messaged me a few months before stealing my photos asking me how I could be selling so many items but charging 20-30% more than the other sellers. I made the mistake of telling them it was probably because of my pictures. Them stealing my photos halfed my sales INSTANTLY and ebay would not do anything to protect me because the photos weren't the original photos I uploaded to the listing, I even offered to provide them with unedited copies of the photos proving they were mine and they still would do nothing telling me I had to add a watermark (which was then ruled as "not allowed" soon after). I can tell you that was one of the most frustrating times of my life. Horrible people make me mad, but not quite as mad as hypocrites.

[@GetINYurBall]

Anytime someone says “being 100% honest” is a HUGE red flag that they are full of shhhhhh. The number of times the NC people reference being truly honest or 100% honest is comical. They don’t own a the trademark, it’s brain dead to think they have standing here. I hope all this ensures TPC/TPCi shuts them both down

[@RickInMaryland]

The North Carolina couple have the trademark rights to "Catch Em Collectibles." They filled with the United States Patent and Trademark Office back in September 2023. It's still being processed. No other company can try to file copyright protection for "Catch Em Collectibles" until the North Carolina couple's case has been resolved. Nintendo doesn't own the rights to "Catch Em." It belongs to a company in Delaware that makes insect traps. Even though they own the rights to "Catch Em" it doesn't mean they can stop another company for using those two words in their title. There's a company that makes fishing lures that has a trademark for "Wreck 'em Bait Co. Don't Just Catch 'em, Wreck 'em!" They used Catch 'em in their title, but it doesn't infringe on the trademark owned by the Delaware company. Nintendo owns the trademark for "Gotta Catch 'em All!" It doesn't mean it owns the rights to each of the words in that title.

People are unable to communicate properly for various reasons and end up going to the next step like the dumbasses they are. This happens when two inexperienced parties have a confrontation.
