Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Trademark

Elizabeth Doyle-Propst is representing herself and Breath of Hope, Inc and has filed to fight the Petition to Cancel the trademark on "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness".

So I'm sad to report that the CDH community now has a year of legal paperwork and proceedings to fight this trademark. Time and money better spent on helping CDH families. But CHERUBS and the other 8 organizations who signed the petition have an obligation to protect CDH families their right to raise awareness.

I'm not going to comment on Elizabeth's filing except that it's untrue... as will be proven by the documents and affadavits that we will submit but most of you can see how untrue it is just by reading it. It's pretty brazenly untrue.

I'm sorry everyone, we posted that we wouldn't fight the "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day" trademark if Elizabeth would leave parents alone with "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" trademark. But she wants both.
