After an exchange of emails and considerations of legal action brought about by the TDA via a member of The Decking Network. The emails and threats of legal action have been brought about by Member Steve Young of the Timber Decking Association against The Decking Network.

Steve wrote the following on his profile.

 

How did you find this website.

“Our trade mark protection agents alerted us to the D logo and the phrase:”setting the standard in the UK” which they believe could be an infringement of the TDA’s UK intelectual property rights under UK trademark law and we are considering our position.”

 

Is not the fact that The Decking Network exists to activley place its news, information, discussion and members in the open and promote all facets of Decking to all, surely the TDA would have at least entered into a polite discussion rather than offer threats of legal action.

So Steve on behalf of The Decking Network, an open site for providing timber and composite decking information, what is your position or indeed that of the TDA.
