Teenpreneur Accuses Snoop Dogg of Oppressive Business Tactics
Interesting piece on a girl who believes using snoop in her products name is perfectly fine. The girl has some brains to start up a business as a high school student. Can her patent save her products name? Snoop doesn’t think so.
Which girl is he in a fight with?
College freshman pushes back against Snoop Dogg’s efforts to thwart progress of the company and product she invented in high school, even if it means going to court. In an exclusive interview with Innovativeeconomy.com [Innovativeeconomy Blog yesterday, the young lady recently voted by Black Enterprise Magazine as Teenpreneur of the Year for 2008 announced her plans to fight oppressive tactics she believes Dogg is using to prevent her from obtaining a trademark on a patent-pending electronic device branded as NoeStringAttached by SnoopTunes™.
At the age of 14, young Kristyn Heath invented an electronic device that allows iPod and mp3 users to listen to each other's music without unlawfully transferring it. It allows kids to snoop each other's songs when they are within a few feet of each other. With the guidance of her parents, Heath filed a patent application, developed a prototype, manufactured units for sale, and built a fully operational business over the course of her high school career. The trademark application is being held up by Snoop Dogg who contends the name SnoopTunes™ violates his trademark Snoop Dogg.
