Moving forward even when asked 'What are you talking about?' Part 2: Trademark Registration Requirements

I have learned that it is difficult to register a trademark using only 'text'.

The closest approach to my goal is to incorporate it into a logo as '#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout' and register it.

For detailed explanations regarding this, such as registration categories or interpretations, please contact Hentai-do, also known as Maiton. It is too difficult for me to explain. However, they taught me the best option for the direction I want to take. I am grateful.

I also learned that I cannot use fonts for trademarking a logo due to copyright issues.

In other words, I will digitize handwritten characters and register them.

Therefore, I would like to call for handwritten 'What are you talking about?' characters.

Rii-chan kindly came up with several designs for the logo despite being busy, even with my unreasonable requests. I have chosen the one I like best among them.

・A design that integrates the '#' with the underline that appears when using tags in note articles.

・A look that might feel familiar to those in the back alleys.

・The color should be achromatic (black, white, gray) to avoid being tied to a specific image, or perhaps a calm brown.

Words from Rii-sensei

I will now announce it.

This is it.

I want a handwritten 'What are you talking about?' for this design.

This is the image.

I would like anyone to write this during next week's collection period. I will digitize your handwriting as-is and immediately apply for it as a trademarked logo (Ro-go).

How to apply:
・Embed data of your handwritten 'What are you talking about?' into an article.

・Quote and attach this article, and include #RoGoApplication #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout
Deadline: Until 2/22 23:59

How to write:

・For analog, take a photo of what you wrote in black ink on white paper (blank on the back) and attach the data to your article.

※You may write it on a tissue, but it will be difficult to adopt. (Because data extraction is hard)

・For digital, set the background to white (#FFFFFF) and the brush color to black (#000000), and attach the handwritten image data to your article.

※Please do not use text input; be sure to write it by hand.

Notes (Common to analog and digital)

・Please avoid pens that are too thin.

・When converting to a logo, we may adjust the spacing between characters, so please ensure the characters do not overlap.

・You are free to express the size of the characters as long as they fit on one image. We can adjust them on our end to match the characters.

That is all from Rii-sensei.



Image of the flow of creating a Ro-go (in the case of handwriting)

① Take a photo of your handwriting
2. We will perform background transparency processing on the image data here
3. Combine it with '#'

This is how it will be. The chosen 'What are you talking about?' text will remain as a logo forever. The finalized logo is also scheduled to be stamped on the cover of the e-book.

If more than one submission is collected, we will list them in an article the week after next and hold a vote. In the event of a tie, the earlier submission will be chosen.

In the back alley, it is truly a 'What are you talking about?' vote.

Please join in and have fun, making it a memory for a lifetime.

And, apparently, trademark registration is first-come, first-served. If it has already been filed, then this whole story will become 'What are you talking about?'

Let's all enjoy that suspense as well.

Future announcements.

I will pay the application fees. I am thinking of raising the costs incurred if registration is successful through crowdfunding. I am currently preparing for that in parallel.Haru-chanand Rii-chan are working hard to create the manuscript even though they don't know 'what for'.

Goals.

- Trademark registration fees

If we collect more than the budget from there

- E-book publication commemorative party scheduled for May
'Konishi Kinoko and Honda Sunou talk about what are you talking about, what are you talking about' simultaneously held with 'Tissue Character Certification Instructor Maiton's Special Tissue Character Lecture' (tentative)

I realized that it wouldn't be bad for amateurs to hold a publication commemorative party. Let's celebrate it ourselves. I hope we can meet and play together to commemorate it. I would like to use the note event venue, but it seems it cannot be used at the moment, so I am thinking of gathering in front of the note company, taking a group photo, and then moving to the venue. In the first place, there is no way we back-alley residents could get in.

- Original merchandise production

I might make them for distribution, but it depends on the budget.

And so, the events in my head are moving rapidly. I will provide information as it becomes available.

Even if everything doesn't go exactly like this, I will accept it all.

I will pursue what I can enjoy right now with all my might.

What are you talking about?

When this comes true, your environment will change. You will find yourself heading more toward the outside world. It sounds ridiculous, but it is a reality. I am grateful that we are creating everything based on the premise of everyone having fun.
