I remember buying large screen tv's and fancy art when "trying to survive"...

Mel could negotiate with this person for a small piece of the pie and probably should do so.
I am betting the attorney’s are on autopilot filing against anyone who even remotely uses Gibson’s name.
They do this to protect the brand- because in the past some courts have ruled that you must not care because you didn’t fight to protect it.
Mel should make this go away and help out this poor woman.
Trademark laws.
Women and children hardest hit.
I agree.
“I was selling honey to survive,” sounds all virtuous victimy, doesn’t it?
“I was selling honey illegally using Mel Gibson’s name and picture”? Not so much.
I am going to package manure and sell it to feed my starving family.
I am going to label it “New York Times”
Why didn’t she call it Winnie the Pooh honey. I’m sure Disney wouldn’t mind. /sarc

IP and Trademark licensing can get very involved and tricky. Not only must Mel Gibson protect his IP, but his brand may also be under other contractual restraints and limitations in agreements he has with other parties.
One example which I see often in music; a band and it's members are often limited/restricted by contracts they have with their record label, their management, tour promoters, and etc. as to what, where, and when they can license their brand or endorse products.
“One must defend their intellectual rights or loose them”
Lose. The word is lose.
BTW...this whole article sounds like a lot of BS.
The actual honey that Mel Gibson puts in his tea, then slathers his body with and rides naked on horseback screaming “FREEDOM!”
Sorry, waiting for the coffee to brew.
Knew it as soon as I clicked on “Post”.
LOL. Just scraping buy on a teacher’s salary.
Ernesto Londoño seems to feel if your ‘pity party story’ hits all the right notes, you have the right to steal another person’s name... and brand.
How creepy.
This is a case of crooked journalists stirring up sympathy for a crooked business.
Mel Gibson is on the right side here. He spent years building his brand, so why should any random person be allowed to piggy back on it without his benefit? If this principle isn’t enforced then when will it all end?
Sorry. It’s just one word that makes My spelling worse. I have to t hi no about how to spell it now since it is so abused on this forum.
Just another reason to want Hollywood to go bankrupt.I hope the child sex predators all leave this country.
Save the honeybee.
