[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16787949, member: 39344"] Funny story about "Planet Fitness"..... My mother opened a gym called Planet Fitness nearly 10 years before the chain that everyone now knows actually started. At the time it was never an idea or thought to copyright the name since it was a local, small time gym that wasnt going to be more than the one location. One day she gets a cease and desist letter from a lawyer stating she was in violation of copyright terms. Come to find out, the pricks that started the chain went and copyrighted the name and started C&D/suing smaller gyms. They made her change the name, logo and slogan. She ended up changing everything after a small legal battle and a small fortune to redo the logo, equipment colors/merchandise. It was sold a few years ago when she retired and couldnt stand dealing with the stress any longer. I still have t-shirts and towels from her Planet Fitness and some times people ask me why it has a "weird" logo instead of the one they have now.... So yeah, **** them and their bullshit. [/QUOTE]
