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.

Mel Gibson donates tens of millions to charity.

Yes, it looks like her life is terrible.

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

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.

Just another reason to want Hollywood to go bankrupt.I hope the child sex predators all leave this country.

The minute you start making exceptions you weaken your legal rights. This woman knew what she was doing when she started out to make money off of someone else's talent and work. There have been hundreds of individuals who were sued by Apple for supposed trade mark infringement even though the individuals were in business longer than Apple and not a single shit was given because.........Apple.

Odd don't you think that this poor woman trying to figure out how to feed her family just suddenly remembered she had this huge stash of honey?
