Huh... here's an imposter site being run by none other than Bob Sloan, lol:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/547664042046281/

Appears it's mostly for revenge/acting out against people he doesn't like though... all the "members" of the group were added by him, and he seems to want them to react strongly to being associated with something of his.

I filed a trademark infringement claim with Facebook. If the past is any guide concerning this, the page won't be up for long.

It would appear that this is very shortly no longer going to be the case... a USPTO search before the next time you open your mouth would be helpful.

Mr. Sloan's attempt at abusively using my trademark has been removed by Facebook.

I wonder if this would constitute any conditions of release due to his previous guest stays with the prison system... that is certainly an imminent and physical threat to your person, wouldn't you say?

That was pretty mild for Sloan.

Interesting that they responded so quickly on that one, yet the main imposter group on FB (https://www.facebook.com/groups/boireptilefeedback/) is still going strong...

It will be unfortunate for those people to lose their groups entirely if Facebook needs to get involved in a trademark issue concerning the ill conceived choice of name their group's creators decided on, ignoring ethics, common courtesy, and federal law concerning trademarks. That seems to be Facebook's policy: simply remove the group or page without the option of changing the group's name after the complaint has been filed with them. If some people wish to infringe on a trademark and refuse to recognize what a trademark is all about, and save their group by simply changing the name, then I guess that is their choice to make. I HAVE to make every effort to protect my trademark, otherwise I lose my rights to it.

So they can consider this notice here as fair warning. I'm sure many of those people are now aware of this issue, and I'm just glad to see that Facebook is not a safe harbor for those who want to flaunt the law.

Seems the "main" "BOI" group on FB is still using the moniker, even though it is now properly trademarked and registered with USPTO... can we look forward to that group being shut down sometime soon as well?
