Pen names

[Maurice]

Have you noticed the vast array of pen names on the internet? You look at a pen being displayed on the net and it is obviously a Baron or a slimline etc but it will have a totally different name. Can you make a pen from a kit and call it anything you like. I might start to make Barons and name them after American states or mountains from around the world. At what point is a Baron no longer a Baron? Can the maker of a kit sue if they find you have called one of their kits by a different name?

In my view its the kit that's named Baron etc and not the finished pen..I call my pens after famous British forests, just to add a bit of individuality.

There is nothing stopping you call your pen anything you like provided you respect that good old trademark rule otherwise you could come in stuck.. I call mine after local rivers around the region..

I call mine with the title of the pen kit in it .. Like for instance, "Two Tone Resin Blank on a Gold Plated Slimline" ..

I call mine Robert and Jenny Unless it's pink and then I call it rubbish.

Don't think I've ever been asked a pens name & if I had the answer would be PEN!!!
