Interesting article...

The erosion of ‘OBX’ and the importance of distinctive trademarks

The History of OBX

By now, you likely know that "OBX" is commonly understood to refer to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and that the placement of the oval black on white OBX sticker on a vehicle suggests that its owner vacations on the Outer Banks, once visited the Outer Banks, dreams of visiting the Outer Banks, or just likes to sport the image of the Outer Banks. And perhaps, noticing how many people have these stickers or other items bearing the OBX emblem, you found yourself thinking, "I wish I owned that trademark." But its story is not without a painful lesson for all trademark owners.

Interesting that the article does not mention J. Douglas or his partner who were doing very well with income from the OBX trademark until early this year when the court took it away from them. Since then he has put Stripers up for sale, but it may have nothing to do with the lack of income from the trademark deal. He still owns Chili Peppers and I love that place. I wish you good luck Jim, you are a super good guy.

I never liked the OBX standing for the Outer Banks.
