There are more than one or two Bonzo fans on here, I believe.

What an extraordinary situation. A quirk in the law allows any old tosser to patent a name, irrespective of the fact that the name's rightful owner cannot perform/record under the name by which they gained fame. Worth supporting, I think.

That’s quite bizarre but you can’t help thinking Viv Stanshall would’ve rather enjoyed the story. He’d have found a novel way to exploit / get around it anyway.

Update on The Bonzo Dog Banned

Dear Backer
On the 5th of September 2019 an official from the Intellectual Property Office will look at the evidence submitted by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band band and the trademark registrant to decide if the band owns their name or whether the existing trademark remains in force. At the hearing both sides will put forward their case. Within 4 to 8 weeks after the 5th of September the IPO will make a written ruling that will be made public. If the band is successful then that will have an impact on the two pending High Court claims for fraud which were lodged against them and some of their witnesses earlier this year.
We will let you know the outcome.
Thank you for your continuing support.
The band are overwhelmed by the response.
Yours faithfully

H Rawlinson

This will be interesting.

Bonzo's case. We have been recording and performing under this name since the 60's

Chancer's case. I ticked a box online to say I owned it.

Absolutely not as it's their bloody mistake for not thinking further ahead!
Being the rightful owner of the names 'Cucking Funt', 'Stirlingsays', 'Hrolf The Ganger', 'Wisbech Eagle', 'Badger11' along with 'Midlands Eagle' i'm friggin' minted
For the record 'kingdowieonthewall' was not my best investment tbh so i'm open to sensible offers. (Any bid above 1 English Pound will probably secure).
