Who pays the Fee?

Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, May 14 2013 @ 03:12 PM EDT

I believe we will need more than the fee to fight this. We have to do it
properly. At the minimum I can think about legal drafting fee for the petition,
plus more if they fight it.

It might not be an easy fight. At the minimum, there are cultural, language and
field of use issues here. Victory is not guaranteed here.

I think it will be a great idea if Groklaw or some entity of equivalent standing
in German raise fund for it.

Getting a good response to the fundraising will be great as moral boaster. This
will make them realize that the opposition is serious and has the will and
financial power to fight to the end. Otherwise they will just wait for us to run
out of money.

I hope DPMA refunds the fee if we manage to annul the wordmark. Even sweeter if
it make them pay for it. The other costs are unlikely to be recoverable.
Compared to them, the fee is insignificance. But the moral implication is the
more important factor here.
