I want to address this now, as I have nothing against Pam or this site at all. I just sent an email to Pam, which said the following… I want you to understand something. We contacted Ms. Marr and Harper Collins, way back in June and asked them to please respect our trademark. I have been married for 24 years today, today, as a matter of fact. My wife and I have built our company Carnival Comics over the last 10 years. In that time, we invested endless hours and tons of money building our brands. We have been very blessed. Carnival Of Souls, our series was the number 1 ebook on Blackberry for over a year. It was featured in the LA Times: http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2009/05/24/carnival-comics-sc... So we protected our time and money… and brand by registering a trademark for CARNIVAL OF SOULS. I started using the mark in commerce, way back in 2004. I applied for registration in 2009. and the USPTO granted me a mark. The person you should be mad at is Harper Collins, who themselves own trademarks for book series. This is a big company, looking at someones lifetime of work and just taking it. We begged them to do the right thing. I had hoped Mrs. Marr would stand up for the rights of trademark owners, but she did not. Would you be angry at J.K. Rowling for stopping someone from putting out a HARRY POTTER series? She has a trademark as well. See my point? I am not doing anything but trying to save my series from an out and out attack by a billion dollar corporation that feels they are above the law. I knew that if they released the Marr book, I would be the bad guy, for trying to defend my trademark. But what else can I do? Would J.K. sit back while someone else released another HARRY POTTER series. I think if you look at the facts in the case, you will see, that Harper Collins, should have not released a book and series, with a mark that they knew, was already out there. What’s next another Twilight series? As I said before, I am now stuck with having to issue “cease and desists”. I got a lot of better things to do with my time. Harper has caused this entire mess. Read the complaint and you will see what I am saying is true. Best, Jazan P.S. I think Harper Collins has really done Melissa Marr a disservice.

(Also as to your question about CARNIVAL OF SOULS being a movie. Well trademarks are for classes of goods. “Apple” is a fruit and “APPLE” is a class for computers. My CARNIVAL OF SOULS mark is for novels, comic books and graphic novels of which I have pubished all three.)
