October 12, 2004 Lost in translation... JEEKERS oh! Someone at The Academy of Ulster-Scots (Ullans) Limited has trade marked the word 'Ullans'. This is the Ulster-Scotch word for 'Ulster-Scots' (the dialect, as opposed to the people or culture), as coined by Belfast Councillor and Ulster-Scots Agency board member Ian Adamson. Gonzo That first link isn't quite right.
Posted by: peteb Thanks. Fixed it.
Posted by: Belfast Gonzo But, wouldn't that be the same as trying to trademark, Irish or English? Which, correct me if I'm wrong would not be possible. Is this because Ulster-Scots or Ullans is not an official language? Strange one.
Posted by: smcgiff I doubt that this trademark would be enforceable - all one would have to do is show prior usage in the particular area that the trade mark applies to - something which would not be hard to do in the case of Ullans.
