Hell on throughout social media, ArabTRUST has written to both The Dundee United Supporters Foundation & The Arab Archive advising of alleged trademark infringement. Using the Hibernian crest without permission

The email has been sent from Mike Barile.
I write to you about potential infringement of the Dundee Hibernian trademark and attach a recent social media screenshot that uses our logo as evidence.

This is an informal notice simply to bring to your attention that ArabTRUST are the current registered holders of the Dundee Hibernian trademark with the Intellectual Property Office (UK00002478643)and we wish to highlight that any organisation who have products or services that use the trademark without our authorisation will be in breach of our trading rights and open to action that may result in civil legal proceedings.

I therefore kindly request that you remove any unauthorised posts or reproductions from all social media sites, media platforms, websites and published literature.

As a way forward, please note we are always open to negotiate future trading deals including a variety of partnership arrangements. In this kind of scenario we’d probably accept a simple acknowledgement e.g. “reproduced by kind permission of ArabTRUST”.

Kind regards,Michael Barile

Sorry but this is petty as f uck and really not needed when we are all aiming to be 'united' for promotion.

Was gonna post about this last night but decided not to give the chunt anymore attention. That’s the AT member numbers down some more. I’m surprised there’s any left TBH.

It is really petty and you have to wonder what the point of it is. Is the suggestion that the other organisations pay the trust money to use the imagery?

It is petty.

Minter of the highest order.

My hopes for the fan groups joining together into one is now well and truly ****ed.
