Once again, thank you for pointing that out.

So much for all the forward movement and excitement of the past day! Crying or Very sad

Re: Bold Futura address and Trademarks with Slusho

Just had another look at the Slusho website and noticed it's got a trademark stamp. Intrigued, I had a look at the American trademarks page and found that Slusho - You can't drink just six has been filed for trademark by a real company called Bold Futura, LLC. Here's how to find the info:

http://www.uspto.gov/
Trademarks -> Search TM database -> New user form
Search for "Slusho" or "You can't drink just six"

The registrant is:
Bold Futura, LLC
1223 Wilshire Boulevard #1422
Santa Monica, CA 90403

Unfortunately that all the information that I can glean from this tangent. At least it adds to the pot of current slurry of information finally appearing!


Aside from the Suite #, the address is also for http://www.accentdigital.com/. Possibly this is the company in charge of developing this game? Seeing as how Suite #1422 is registered to a fictitious company, I would assume that Suite #1422 is fictitious as well.

AccentDigital.com
1223 Wilshire Blvd #320
Santa Monica, CA 90403

Same thing with "11.03.02 - Beer steins or mugs; Cups, beer mugs; Mugs, beer; Tankards". This is the legal category for the Slusho cup design. There are not going to be beer mugs, etc...


"Cups" is included in that category. Wouldn't a logo'ed Slusho cup -- the kind you might find for an Icee or a Big Gulp down at 7-11 -- be classified in that group?

The cup category is used because of the distinctive Slusho cup in the t-shirt design. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to make an actual beverage, i.e. like the Simpsons. It's possible, but not likely considering the Simpson had a $75 million dollar budget, and 1-18-08 is rumored to be around $30 million.

Thank you for the clarification...

So then, basically a design code is a descriptive index of a logo's features.
Anything located under the design code refers to the Slusho logo, which, for example, (when animated) features droplets of spilling liquid, etc..
The coal, dust, light rays, pouring liquids, sand, frozen confections / ice, beer steins / mugs, cups, beer mugs, mugs, beer and tankards all fall into the design source code as well if I understand correctly.

Seems so far the only "Goods and Services", apart from the apparel that's already been rendered, will be potentially "non-alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, flavored soft drinks, blended ice drinks".
The powers that be may very well have parked those options considering their budget you've mentioned.

"Non-alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, flavored soft drinks, blended ice drinks" was probably registered not because they are going to be doing it, but to prevent someone ELSE from doing it. Just because they register something doesn't mean they'll use it as such.

Just in case anybody is under the impression that a Slusho! brand happy drink will definitively be available on shelves any time soon... Wink
