lol. Not buying it.

But the company isn’t withdrawing 50+ requests that the U.S. Patent and Trademark office cancel the trademarks of other companies, Backcountry.com CEO Jonathan Nielsen said in an interview with The Sun.

Do I even need to read the rest of the article?

What are you not buying? That it was bad marketing?

There are no underlying emotions its a big company driven by money. The only thing you can buy is that they said the thing they did publicly. Now they might align their business with that statement for a while.

Too little too late. Been munching on popcorn watching all my camping and hiking forums and communities coming together saying they are done buying from them.

I thought this was a pretty solid response. Out of curiosity, is there anything that you think is "enough" to change your mind?

Abandon the trademark on such a broad name.

Not OP, but dropping all trademark enforcement attempts on the generic term "backcountry" would be the minimum (them using "backcountry.com" should have been as far as they got).

Also, abandon all existing legal action based on that generic term.
