The Attempt to Own the Tea Party: Bizarre Legal Battle to Trade ...

BEN SAYS: That’s interesting. So these people who call themselves the “Tea Party Patriots” see this as a business enterprise more than as a way to save the country. It’s amazing how quickly the scheisters gravitate to success and try to cash in.   I don’t remember anything in the history books about Sam Adams trying to trade mark his Tea Party, probably because he was a true patriot. Sickening.

MOTHER JONES: In April 2009, Barry Cole attended the Tax Day Tea Party in his hometown of Wichita, Kansas. An entrepreneur whose ventures include a company that calibrates police radar guns, he immediately “saw there’s a potential market developing here.” Within a week, he’d applied for a trademark (PDF) for the name “Teaparty Patriot” and arranged to sell T-shirts, flags, pins, license plates, and other gear on eBay and another website.

Eight months later, he got a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer representing Tea Party Patriots—a group that now claims to be one of the largest tea party groups in the country—who accused Cole of committing a trademark violation.

What the Tea Party can learn about success from . . . the Grateful Dead

By Ben Hart

These money-grabbing scheisters who are trying to trademark the “ Tea Party ” name could learn a lot about how to be successful from the Grateful Dead.

The Grateful Dead might be the most profitable rock band in history even though it has never had a #1 single or a #1 album.

Despite the death of its leader Jerry Garcia in 1995, Grateful Dead Productions continues to generate about $60 million a year in sales and licensing fees. Pretty good for a group that no longer exists.

Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead never pursued the top spot on the pop charts—or any ranking on the pop charts.

Instead, they dedicated themselves to pursuing a distinct style of music and cultivating a face-to-face relationship with their fans, building a loyal, even fanatical community of hundreds of thousands of Dead Heads by feeding this community exactly what it wanted, never deviating from its brand, for more than 35 years.
