To clear up some confusion...

There has been a lot of confusion about the project and I am here to clear everything up. I set up the Gofundme to raise money for the first part of the project. This first part of the project requires the name and loyalties purchasing. Then after that is complete, then the second part of the project will take place, opening up shop.

I am really passionate about this project and I will go through Hell and High water till people can go to the store, and leave with a Fantom Vacuum.
 
Question

This just crossed my mind today. If the goal is not met will you still be remastering the how to videos on DVD for the project backers? I think it would be cool to do even if the whole purchase for some reason does not get completed.
 
Yes

If the goal is not met, everyone who got the perks will still get them. Also check your email. I sent you a message.
 
Royalties and Trademarks

Will cost you a kings ransom to begin with. It is now worth more, because this is a public forum, and the powers that be will be able to ascertain there is someone placing value on their defunct name. Legal fees, well the $30K will be a nice retainer. I just caution the re-mastering, or reproducing logos for items that are owned by others. Don't even think about distributing them until you have ownership, or severe legal troubles could come your way.

I know of a man that was called Jeep. He opened a bar in his own name called Jeep's. Diamler-Chrysler sent him a cease and desist letter, followed by legal services to remove and de-image the name from the establishment due to trademark infringement. He attempted to fight them, but it came down to a protected property belonging to a cooperation who did not want "their" name used in another commercial operation. Bar is now named "Jed's".

Again I say--Wishing you well. [this post was last edited: 9/21/2017-16:47]
 
ALEXHOOVERS94 THAT IS THE MOST IRRELEVANT POST I HAVE EVER SEEN. You don't even live in the us so you can't control it. I am all for fantom coming back. It will be the only good vacuum left on the market. Dyson sucks and the early dysons look like fantom thunder/fury wannabes
 
Good point FTG

He is in progress of everything so he isn't in the way. I will certainly go out and buy a fantom. Even if it's 250+ dollars it will be worth it
 
Trademarks

If the trademarks are unused and not renewed for a certain period of time they revert to public domain. I don't think Fantom is anywhere near that yet.
 
AM SO EXCITED

Am willing to pay 800$ for a brand new thunder and worst case scenario you can hopefully get the rights to at least sell some replacement parts and I was thinking what if they had rebuildable brushrolls like a Sanitaire that would be literally the best vacuum ever

Rainbowvacfane2: Thanks for the reply! You will be happy when you can buy one!

DesiredName: WOW! Technicality there twins, but they are related!

buster1849: Thanks for the kind words!
 
So ???
Will there be a non existent supply of repair parts just like before?
Will it still be the BIC lighter of the vacuum world (oops that may be Sharks claim to fame now)??
Will they be sold through Walmart???
