[quote=""Tater""]The original PIFL/IPFL is not copyrighted or trademarked. However, it does still exist and is still registered as it was in 1997/1998 in Utah. Since that league was "nationwide", a trademark isn't necessary unless someone else intends to use the name ot...

[quote=""sportsmgrjay""]Just watch out for the FTC getting involved in this. Word has it that there is going to be a class action filed against Shiver and the league due to the info that was released over the FTC regulations and what Shiver is not doing legally in regards to all ...

[quote=""BarbaraPatterson""]The difference is, the AIFL will file this in Ohio, using AIFL lawyers. It wont cost the AIFL that much money, however it will tie up resources. The WIFL will be required to pay Ohio lawyers, it will cost them money, but tie up little resources.[/quote...

Whether they get off the ground or not, it might be in the PIFL's best interest not to play in 2007. Lawsuits are starting to fly around like a swarm of bees. Read where the AIFL is suing the WIFL and its former AIFL teams. There is strong rumor that the NIFL will file their patent and copyright law...

One of the owners of the AFL's Utah Blaze and the Austin Wranglers, is the one making the big push to get these markets on board with the AF2.

Simply countered the rumors by stating that they won't be going there. My rumors aren't any different then the rumors that the IFL have spread by stating...

What the IFL has told teams. Not a reliable source in regards to Laredo I suppose. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17051166&BRD=2290&PAG=461&dept_id=473477&rfi=6 What Dittman said in the San Angelo paper. http://www.sanangelostandardtimes.com/sast/sp_stampede/article/0,2587...

I haven't heard that but, who knows. Not sure the PIFL will get off the ground this year. It appears most of their efforts have been in the Northwest and the Midwest.

There has been AF2 interest in Ft. Worth, Wichita Falls, Lubbock, Houston and Laredo.

Corpus Christi would be a good market/venue for the AF2 as well as San Antonio. Outside of that, I'm not sure what else in Texas would be a good fit for the AF2 as far as markets and venues go.
