Re: Possible Trademark Infringement

[redacted], Dec 07 14:21 (PST):
Hello,
We were contacted by representatives of Victoria's Secret which holds a registered trademark for "Victoria's Secret". They contend that the use of their slogans, your profile description, and board names are sources of confusion of affiliation with Victoria's Secret. While we take no position on the legal merits of this contention, we do believe the trademark owner has expressed legitimate concerns. We therefore ask you to change your profile description to explicitly state no affiliation with the brand, and to change your board titles.
Please let us know when this change is complete or if you have any questions. If we don't hear back from you by 12/12/12, we will need to make these changes for you.
You may change your profile's description on your Settings page (http://pinterest.com/settings). To edit a board title, just click on the specific board you want to edit when you're logged into your account. Then enter in a new title and click Save when you're finished.
Thanks for your understanding and thanks for using Pinterest!
Sincerely yours,
The Pinterest Team
[Trademark request ID# 1080813233]
