New Thunder Snus May Spell Trouble
Well, this stuff looks interesting. It’s Thunder in a portion that somewhat resembles Lab Series. It’s 12 mg, and this stuff will probably taste like Thunder Frosted, although we’ll have to try it to make sure… since the word Frosted doesn’t, apparently, describe a flavor…
Anyway, looks cool, except one potentially big problem. See the word “long+” on the tin of the pic I stole from Northerner (where it’s available for pre-order)?
Swedish Match has a trademark pending on the word “Long” that sits on the side of their Lab Series. It looks like, from what I can tell, that mark isn’t going to be approved unless they go through an appeal process since some other marks are too similar. Will this mean that these other trademark holders will go after Swedish Match, if there’s doesn’t get approved, and V2? And what if Swedish Match’s mark does get approved? I can’t know for sure since I’m not a lawyer, just a doctor… no wait I’m not that either.
Best regards,
Dr. Snus, Esq.
P.S. If there’s a trademark lawyer in the audience, feel free to set the record straight.

It looks like V2 is really pushing the limits here. But their right in what they do if They only want to earn money, and if they dont care about contributing to developing The snusmarket. Like Skruf, fiedler or of course Swedish Match.
