I looked at the USPTO.gov search site (an owner search using Fournier as
the owner name) and couldn't find a reference to such a trademark.
I'm wondering if putting up a policy regarding the trademark use at this
point is "armchair lawyering" itself. Before trying to apply global
enforcement of a trademark held in one country, might it be appropriate
to check with a lawyer to make sure that doing so legitimate?
A link to the trademark itself, if available, would be nice to have
there, and would help to at least legitimatize the policy somewhat.
