I heard awhile back that some people have trouble getting the Zazzle and Cafepress stores to work due to trademark issues. Is that still the case?

We can have shirts and other things with our logo but the word Jedi has a trademark for use on shirts and other clothing so they won't make them with our name on them. We have not tried https://www.spreadshirt.net/ , but I see they are selling some with "Trust Me I'm A Jedi" so we might get some there until someone complains.

Could the name of the accounts/on the items be "TOTJO"? Or would that trip the trademark?

TOTJO is fine and so is TOTJO.ORG which brings you here. It's the word Jedi that has a trademark for shirts, hats and other wearing apparel. I'm not sure what you mean by name of the account but our bank account says Temple of the Jedi Order and our Amazon account says that too. Our name is legal. It's the use of the word Jedi on clothing that is an issue.

I didn't see the word "Jedi" on the items being sold with the logo on it, so I thought you were having issues with the account names as most of the items I see just have the TOTJO logo on them.

There is no issue with account names. This is our legal name and it does not violate any trademark or service mark or copyright.

So, I suppose my question would be, are the items that only bear the logo unaffected by the issue, or are all Cafepress/Zazzle items affected by the Jedi issue?

The only issue is using the word Jedi on clothing.

I was one of the ones who had issues. I tried ordering a necklace from Zazzle and it said that there was a copyright issue so they refunded me. I reached out to Ros and she explained that it was a common issue but it should have gotten resolved. Arisaig got a necklace in the last few months and he got it just fine so I think it should be good to go.
