​

The Dickie Dee brand revival project, including its product concepts, marketing materials, creative assets, business plans, formulations, and legacy product development work, was created through a multi-party collaboration beginning in Spring 2025.

​

It has recently been discovered that several trademark applications relating to the Dickie Dee name and certain legacy product titles were filed under a numbered corporation that was not part of the originally intended business structure. These filings were made without full disclosure to the contributors involved in the revival project and were not consistent with the expectations outlined during the development period.

​

Ownership of these filings is under dispute and may be subject to further review.

All branding, product concepts, sell sheets, creative materials, and business development documents produced by Joe Kelsey remain protected intellectual property. These materials may not be used, assigned, published, licensed, or commercialized without written permission.

​

Steps are underway to protect these rights and to address any improperly filed marks. This includes preparation for formal opposition, examination of potential bad-faith filing issues, requests for reassignment where appropriate, and review of partnership expectations and reliance during the development period.

​

All relevant documentation, correspondence, drafts, and development records have been preserved and will be relied upon as this matter progresses. Until this matter is resolved, all commercial activities related to the brand are on hold.

 

This notice will continue to be updated as required.
