That sounds too silly from fedex, I'll keep with UPS in the mid time. Go for it Topify...!

If this is an April's fool, then you are a day early. Even the date on your post reads 31st March. Or does it adjust to the viewers location?

If this is no April's fool, then good luck boys. I really love this service and would hate to see it vanish.

APRIL FOOLS for sure. Thank U guys. U might just be bought over by Twitter just like Twitpic. U 2 have the best chances of being integrated in twitter.

BUT SERIOUSLY, The Google effect of making such APRIL FOOL's news is on twitter too. LOL

Fighting against Fedex is going to be expensive. You might want to be smarter and relocate your service in a country where Fedex cannot reach out.
My 2cts.

If it *is* an April Fool then you'll probably end up getting sued by FedEx anyway. Hmmm...

Thanks to all for your support. We ll try to update you soon. For now the service will remain up. we are planning to offer fedex a Topify account in the meantime...maybe they ll change their mind

This really stinks. I don't think FedEx has a claim here and hate that you guys have to deal with this. BTW, when will I receive my Topify Beta notification?

If this is for real I wouldn't stress too much yet.

In my experience some large companies contract external lawyers to monitor and prosecute trademark/patent issues and it is in the external lawyer's interest to make as much fuss over nothing as they can (and doesn't necessarily reflect the views of their client at this stage).

I would advise you don't cause any unnecessary friction and remove any names until you have more information.

Also there is a specialist firm in London who can handle these issues that we have used before (Williams Powell). We use these rather than our regular lawyers for IPR issues.

Good luck.

Wow... I wish Fedex would sue me, the press and attention that you should be able to leverage out of this "David vs. Goliath" lawsuit should more then cover your legal costs.

So as mad as it makes me to see a company like FedEx enforcing a bullshit patent on you, I am still a little jealous that they did not do it to me:)
