Update:
I spoke with Josh Garza and he seemed shocked and surprised that I would try and negotiate a fair-market valuation for PayCoin [the original] insisting that he already owns the brand.
I was warned that I was wasting my time speaking with him and in fact that was the case.
Apparently, Mr. Gaza is under the mistaken impression that a trademark application is the same thing as owning a trademark and that the "best trademark law-firm" is above the rule of law and does not need to comply with many prior court rulings and precedents.
So we will continue to develop PayCoin [the original] as we have the past year - with the community now having taken it over.
And I will continue to work behind the scenes to stop Mr. Gaza from unlawfully stealing our name-brand which I feel [based on prior-art and many court-case rulings/precedents] should lead to victory for PayCoin [the Original] and the original PayCoin community.
Best regards,
