Trademark & Branding Statement
The Captain Dumbass™ is a pending trademark of Dennis Ayotte.
This forum, along with related branding, visuals, and themes, represent a distinctive creative identity that blends humor, technology, and community. To protect this vision and prevent misuse, a trademark filing has been officially submitted and is on record.
Why we filed:
- To preserve the tone and intent of the brand.
- To prevent unauthorized duplication or impersonation.
- To ensure future opportunities (events, merch, partnerships) have a solid legal foundation.
What this doesn’t mean:
- We’re not corporate. We’re still sarcastic as hell.
- You won’t get cease-and-desisted for sharing memes or participating.
- We won’t restrict fair-use commentary, satire, or engagement.
What this does mean:
- Unauthorized use of the name or logo for commercial or misleading purposes is prohibited.
- We’ll take action if someone tries to clone, rip off, or impersonate this brand.
Thanks for being part of something weird and meaningful. This step helps us keep it that way.
