I hope you get this trademark. I think this will be great to get. You have worked hard and it will pay off.

Real Estate 2.0. What a concept. I was completely appalled at RedFin for their actions. First, whether the post was good or bad they should have been pleased that Real Estate 2.0 took the time to make a critique of their service.

A lawyer would have wrote the letter properly. Unfortunately, it was not cleared with legal & the person who sent the letter did not realize he was using a legal term of art "registered". We just felt bad for blogger 2.0 & wanted to set the record straight.

Did Redfin even coin the phrase “Real Estate 2.0″? Google has about 101,000 results for the term.

I am thinking that Redfin is going to feel a bit stupid today. Those big bully's trying to rough up the "new kid"

Right. Don't think they coined the phrase. Google could prove that.

Why would they even attempt to claim such a broad term in the first place...

Hi REBlog Girl
We think it was a matter of having a layman doing a job meant for a lawyer. A lawyer would have wrote the letter properly. Unfortunately, it was not cleared with legal & the person who sent the letter did not realize he was using a legal term of art "registered". We just felt bad for blogger 2.0 & wanted to set the record straight.
Thanks for commenting.

Great work guys. I was completely appalled at RedFin for their actions. First, whether the post was good or bad they should have been pleased that Real Estate 2.0 took the time to make a critique of their service. What's that saying- any news is good news. We get slammed on blogs all the time and all it does is let us know where we need to improve. If you are not willing to listen to the criticism and improve your product you don't belong in this business! Secondly, trade marketing a term so generic/obvious and going after a "small-fish" like RE 2.0 are the works of a petty company that is struggling to keep its head above water. Thirdly, from an ethical stand point, going after someone for a violation of a trademark you don't even have, makes me question their other business practices. This was nothing more than a case study in corporate confusion. Who is running RedFin anyway? Cheech and Chong?

Even if Redfin has applied for a patent I don't beleive it will be granted because it's too generic and in common usage already.

That's one of the reasons NAR couldn't trademark "MLS", it was already in common usage before anyone thought of it.

I may change my blog to www.RealEstate2.0124555.com. NOT. ;-)

With a newer, improved version, perhaps I could market and/or register Real Estate 2.1--and let some competitor pick up on the 2.2 and 2.3 versions. You get the idea.

Talk about painting a target on yourself!
