....its Rolex's registered trademark:

Rolex
Oyster (be careful what you order at your next seafood bar)
Cerachrom
Cosmograph
Crownclasp
Datejust
Day-Date
Daytona (they might have a problem with this one)
Easylink
Everose
Explorer (those who actually explore will now be referred to as wanderers through the wilderness)
GMT Ice
GMT-Master
Goldust
Jubilee (didn't Queen Elizabeth have one of those a few years ago?)
Milgauss
Oysterclasp
Parachrom
Paraflex
Pearlmaster
Perpetual (Einstein is rolling over in his grave right now)
President (anybody notify Obama yet?)
Ringlock
Rolesium
Rolesor
Rolex DeepSea
Rolex Glidelock
Rolex Royal Black (that's a new one on me)
Rolex Royal Pink (I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there)
Sea-Dweller
Submariner (let's see you sell this idea to the US Navy)
Tridor
Triplock
Turn-O-Graph
Twinlock
Yacht-Master
Yacht-Master Regatta

It seems the only trademarked, copyrighted, homogenized, blended, protected word they didn't include in this list is UNOBTAINIUM, which is the material that most Rolex watches will be made from after their next round of price increases.

Rolex probably would have used unobtainium if Oakley did not already have the TM :)

Rolex called...you owe $72,567.94 in intellectual property royally fees for that last post.

Wire transfer, net 30, or

plus fees.

Sure you can use the terms...but place your (R)'s and/or TM's appropriately. I am certain there are also approved nouns you can use after these words as well.

Feras · 22 December 2011, 03:00 PM

Wow, thanx for the information. Wouldn't have known it if you didn't mention it

I believe the next word to be trademarked by Rolex will be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Money.

seand442 · 23 December 2011, 01:05 AM

I hear they also have the trademark on the color green.

Also: Steve McQueen's and Paul Newman's names can only be spoken in reference to Rolex. If you want to refer to the actual actor you just say "the guys with the 5512 and 6263 were great in The Towering Inferno."

Megalobyte · 23 December 2011, 01:51 AM

You forgot: "Imminent price increase."

(though that's more a phrase the AD's coined) :)
