Posted by Anonymous on 2003-04-28 12:15:58 Post Subject: Starbucks response to my email to them
Hello all,
I wrote an email to Starbucks regarding this ridiculous threatened law suit asking them to explain their position. As a long time customer of Starbucks (15+ years) and someone who consumes their products daily I wanted to know why they were pursuing this.
Below is a copy of the response I received to my email:
Dear Mr. ************:
Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.
Under trademark law, we are required to take action against any individual or entity that is infringing our trademark rights. Trademark law does not permit us to be selective in protecting our rights; anytime there is infringement or dilution, we must "police" our mark, regardless of the infringer's size. We actually risk damaging and possibly losing our trademark rights if we fail to do so.
It is Starbucks preference and desire to resolve disputes of this nature informally and amicably whenever possible. However, we will take legal steps to protect the value of our trademark, and protect the public from confusion and deception, when we are unable to resolve a matter through alternate means.
Sincerely,
Allisen
Customer Relations
Starbucks Coffee Company
I have spoken with a few people familiar with Trademark law (including a lawyer involved in Corporate law for 30+ years) who said what they have said is not true (or to be fair is "stretching the truth"). While not 'required' to take action they 'may' take action. I have subsequently written back to Starbucks asking them to cite the specific legislation, law or statute which 'requires' them to take action; I am awaiting their response.
This issue greatly concerns me and I am seriously considering no longer buying their products eventhough I truly enjoy them. I will await Starbuck's response and resolution to this matter before making my decision.
I encourage everyone to contact Starbucks about this issue. You may do so by accessing the contact page on their website at:
http://www.starbucks.com/customer/contact.asp
You might want to select "Company Information Inquiry" (or any of the other options appropriate to your feedback).
Remember money talks and if your money is going to walk ("away" from Starbucks) they will listen. Contact them please!
