Well before I ever heard of this website I was told to always have a dive buddy, And my instructer is not on here. In fact it is even mentioned in the training books from padi to always dive with a buddy, Now I have a very old one here that states the same thing use the buddy system when diving. I do not want to start hearing it being refered to as the "dive friend system" or the "dive partner system" just because a website was made out of it and now its a trademark. I love this site and all but without knowing how the name is being used that makes you think that an infringment is happening I cannot give a answer that will make everyone happy. I find that simple words or phrases that are commonly used long before the time of www dot, should not be allowed to be trademarked. 2 dumb examples I can come up with right away are " Lets Roll" coined after the 9-11 attacks and another is "Thats hot" Paris Hiltons little contribution. I could think of a few others but I think the point is made, Although if one were to try to say make a site such as divebuddy.net or .ORG I could see the infringment. Like I said need a better example or reference to be swayed.
