cation by an organization calling itself the First Independent Church of Scientology, which was denied a trademark because it was deemed an infringement of the Church of Scientology's existing trademark. Among the arguments made in the response is that "scientology" is now a generic term. A BYOB thread was cited in support of this claim (the thread starts on page 89 if you don't want to read the rest)

in case you don't get that, a website called bodyforwife.com is also cited as why scientology is a generic term, because of an article entitled "paleo is the scientology of diets." If you like that article you might also like another article from bodyforwife.com: "gently caress You and Your Cargo Shorts Hate"

nathan for you taught me that all you have to do is put a modifier word in front of the trademark and you're fine, there fore he should have called it "the first church of dumb scientology"

if you read the document thats their first argument, which is that since they call it the INDEPENDENT chuch of scientology it's not the same as the church of scientology
