#Cockygate- The Cocky Trademark Controversy

In case you missed it, this past weekend the entire indie author community was all lit up over one author’s recent actions and positioning.
Her name is Faleena Hopkins, author of the successful Cocker Brothers Series, a collection of humorous, steamy romance novels.
A quick glance over Faleena’s deep catalog shows solid branding and two registered trademarks in the “Cocker Brothers” and “Cocky” series names.
The controversy revolves around the registration of the latter trademark of cocky.
Fairly innocuous at a first, it would seem this author was just staking her claim and positioning herself as the only relevant author in “Cocker Brothers” and “Cocky” branded books.
However, Faleena personally contacted most authors with her trademarked word in their title and requested a full cease and desist. She earned the title of trademark bully by quite a few indie authors.
The indie publishing community labeled the situation as trademark bullying at its best and hash-tagged it with:
#cockygate
#byefaleena
#freecocky
Do you think Faleena should be lumped in with other trademark bullies?
Bianca Sommerland on YouTube covered the Cocky trademark in these videos:
