His responses to my complaints were rather shallow - and when I responded, he accused me of stalking him! I would typify him as something of a windbag. He would seem to be arrogant as well as uncouth. He writes before he thinks. Not a man whose website I would take much notice of. He indulges in brainless mudslinging himself, but he cannot justify any of it and complains when you take him up on it! As an editor he should know more about the law than he does.

If you look here: http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/indetail/revocn.htm a trade mark can be revoked for being a "common term in the trade". Given that: a) It was a common term before 2001. b) "corridor of uncertainty" gives 129,000 hits on Google. c) The wikipedia definition doesn't say a thing about the fanzine. d) There are other internet sites with the name, including blogs. e) It has been used on broadcast media (football, cricket, Guardian, TMS etc.) for ages. This is probably true for this term - probably also when it started in 2001. Unfortunately it costs £200 to mount a challenge. However, your blog, your move, your call.

Not even the ECB or ICC would worry about this. They would just be confident that their brand was big enough to see off any opposition. Sadly, Clark doesn't have the confidence, and seeing what he churns out I can see why. I also suspect he has a small willy.
