Attention all ABDLs!!!

We need a signal boost on this pronto! Rearz, the Canadian diaper company out of Ontario is attempting to trademark the term ABDL.

Filing

The term this community has used for years to identify itself and distinguish itself as a label, would no longer be allowed to be used legally outside of identifying Rearz products. They could sue any person or company attempting to use “ABDL” or derivatives to identify itself or products. They would have a huge choke-hold on the market and our community.

I’m all for free market and competition, especially in our very niche market, but, this would completely stifle the market and tie a single supplier and company to that term and label we’ve grown and developed over the years.

They have no right to it.

If there are any lawyer babies out there who can help fight this, this is a worthy cause.

@datbabbyfox @furfur-pet-monster help boost this? This is a dick move of the highest order.

Hey guys. Please take a look at this and spread it like wildfire. I’m all for competition between brands and such, but TRADEMARKING THE ACRONYM “ABDL”?! Come on, how low can you get.

I enjoy Rearz products, but I am definitely willing to not give them further support if they continue this shifty shit.

For people questioning if this is authentic or not, here’s the URL for the case:

You can get a hold of Rearz and let them know your opinion of this:

Email: diapers@rearz.ca

Phone: (519) 745-1000

I really hope this is false and they aren’t trying to do this.

So from reading in the link. They applied for the trademark in October of last year. I seriously hope they get denied like Taylor Swift did for trying to trade mark a year

So I spoke with a rearz representative. She said that rearz has had a trade mark on the turn abdl shop since last year and are applying for the blanket turn “Abdl” because many online retailers are blocking the term. They won’t be policing or with holding use of the term. Just so Amazon and eBay can’t deny them listings based off of the term being in the description. Apparently they have had over 2600 listings removed do to this.

I don’t know how true this is. The lady on the phone sounded like she was reading a script. But who knows. Hope they are being honest.
