Now here's a question ... How can all these entities, such as Life in The Villages, and even Talk of The Villages, and all other companies with "The Villages" in their names, not be made to change their names as Tom from TheVillagesAV was forced to.
I can't really understand the reasoning that The Villages is a trademark, owned by The Villages but yet we are a town in Florida with 3 separate zip codes under The Villages, FL.
I can grasp that The Villages does not want anyone to come in, and more or less represent them, by using the name The Villages, but .... how legal is it to make entities go through changing the names, LLC's, websites, stationary, etc...
Just a question that maybe the Admin can answer.
What can I tell you, I'm just the curious kind.
