Randall Terry, Founder, Operation Rescue, Has Filed Suit to Cancel False
Trademark Registration of the Name, Operation Rescue, by Mr. Troy Newman

WASHINGTON, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Randall Terry has filed suit with
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to cancel false registration of "Operation
Rescue" by Mr. Troy Newman. Mr. Terry seeks to regain control of the name
Operation Rescue, which is his moniker.
It is alleged Mr. Troy Newman lied under oath to the Trademark Office when
he filed his registration of the name, Operation Rescue. Moreover, Mr. Newman
has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars by falsely claiming a connection
with Operation Rescue.
Press conference: 11:00 A.M., Thursday, May 29, Patent and Trademark
Office, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA.
Who:
Randall A. Terry, Founder, Operation Rescue;
Michael Culver, Attorney, Specializing in Trademark law, and intellectual
property.
To be given to the press:
1) The legal pleadings filed in the case (filed Tuesday, May 27, 2008);
2) Printed booklet of history of Operation Rescue, including the proof of
allegations that Mr. Newman lied under oath when he claimed ownership of the
name, Operation Rescue;
3) Trademark law, which shows why Mr. Newman will lose this case, because
he knowingly took the name Operation Rescue, and has thereby falsely claimed a
connection with Randall Terry, the Founder of Operation Rescue.
4) Related case law; which all have the similar facts and law, and in
which public figures retained the right to their "identity" [name, moniker,
slogan] they made famous, even though someone else tried to trademark that
name.
Mr. Michael Culver, Mr. Terry's attorney, states: "Mr. Newman is simply a
squatter on intellectual property that he does not own. This proceeding at
the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the Patent and Trademark Office is
intended to oust Mr. Newman from the identity that rightfully belongs to
Randall Terry."
Randall Terry states: "Mr. Newman mistook my patience for a lack of
resolve. His identity theft of a name, a heritage, and a history over which he
has no right is as offensive as it is ludicrous."
