SEO Being Trademarked, AGAIN!?!

By: David Harry
2010-01-21

Circle the wagons? Or 'Who gives a shit?' One of my SEO Dojo peeps came to me this morning asking if I knew about the guy that was trying to Trademark the term; SEO. I said, Sure...

...that Jason Gambert Guy right? Oh no apparently he has some competition. One Clinton Cimring huh, news to me

Apparently he;

was one of the first published search engine optimizers (SEOs) and search engine optimization consultants-1- and currently holds the only trademark on the term, S.E.O.


They go on to say;

he has had a trademark pending on the term since 1996 and it seems to be between he and a Jason Gambert.


Aparently he is "well known in the search engine optimization-5- arena for introducing new techniques or approaches to search engine optimization such as SEO 2.0 and coining the terms, SEO 2.0, reverse seo, and buzz keywords" - Someon might want to tell Tad about that...

Sheesh . Here we go again. For those of you that missed it last time, just do some Googlin for Jason Gambert, SEO trademark and there was plenty of commentary last time out.

Almost the laughable part of this is that many of my cohorts have recently been somewhat embarrassed to be called an SEO because of all the crap hat and bad publicity it gets. So hey, by the time either of these folks gets the tradement (highly unlikely) it wont be worth shit right? I jest
