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.

I agree there are rental companies out there using the villages names interesting to see what happens to their names. Just wondering if TV is just taking some time to contact other companies This may just be round number one with Tom's company.
