No matter how you look at it, "Zol TV" has the potential to change the world in significant ways.
Well, perhaps not the entire world but certainly the visual media: a major TV channel, a viral internet site, perhaps even a rival to YouTube. It's short, catchy, memorable, easy on the eyes, and pronounceable. The "quaking" letters in "Zol" show exactly how we feel about this term representing a new disruptive technology.
According to the Urban Dictionary, "Zol" is South African slang for "marijuana cigarette." Could there eventually be a TV channel dedicated to this wonder weed? Who knows? We believe that marijuana, much like alcohol and tobacco, will soon be legal -- and rightly so. Over the years, marijuana has gotten a bad rap, but, in truth, it is no more dangerous than the currently legal drugs and booze -- readily available by prescription and over-the-counter. Manufactured properly, marijuana has the potential to help pain sufferers manage pain better. Even as a recreational drug, perhaps ingested rather than smoked, this plant could prove to be a lot less addictive than alcohol.
Nonetheless, while we believe that ZolTV would make a great MJ site, we recognize that buyers might have something else in mind, hence the two logos, but it was so tempting to add a leaf in that first logo (LOL).
We found no trademarks on "ZolTV," "Zol TV," "SolTV," or "Sol TV" on the USPTO.gov data base. We found various dead TMs on "Zol" and several live and dead TMs on "Sol" -- we disclose this because "Z" and "S" are next to each other on the qwerty keyboard, and "ZOL" might, in the wrong circumstances, be seen as a typo-squat of "Sol." For further TM questions, please consult with a trademark attorney.
