This is been a non issue for us, although there are companies on Google, who have, and are still using our trade name 'MacJunky' for their advertising it doesn't annoy nor does it hurt us, why...
Bearing in mind that 'MacJunky' is a name that has been 'made up' and other names, let's for the sake of argument call them 'competitors' they seem to have generic names and get VERY angry and annoyed at the meer mention their names.
Unfortunately for them Mac repair, Mac help, Mac support etc. are all generic words (Mac is also a trademark of Apple inc.) and it's not up to us to tell them that they should have come up with better names, nor is it up to us to tell them that their money is best kept for making their service better and their clients happy, rather than try to sue and/or threaten their competitors.
Lets get back to the main point, this post is more to do with us, MacJunky, letting our clients know that there is only #1 MacJunky, there will always only be #1 MacJunky, and when you do a search and see others trying to imitate us or our service, you can be rest assured that when you do find the real MacJunky you will not want to search any further.
Below is a list of domain names that are associated with MacJunky, so anything else can, and probably will be someone trying to imitate us and our service.
We were featured inside MacFan magazine in 2008, you can read the whole article here. It gives and idea of how we work and what you can expect from us.
Quite a few people have asked me why I play on the work 'Junky' and it's about time I explained the reason behind the name.
I find that when I get passionate about something I like to immerse myself fully into it, whether it's a project, hobby or my work.
In the early days when I started out in my career, my friends and colleagues noticed this and started to called me a Junky and it seemed to have stuck.
I have seen many Macs with liquid damage, whether it's Coke, wine, or even a glass of water, and on most occasions I have been able to fix them. But I do feel sorry for some people who have only had their Macs for a few months or even weeks.
Apple don't seem to want to fix this under their "Apple Care" warranty, something I don't quite understand. But as with many of these cases, clients who have has this happen to don't seem to know where the "liquid" (in some cases) has come from, nevertheless Apple still doesn't "want" to repair this type of issue under the warranty.
So some people, rightly so, take matters into their on hands and sometimes do this...
In recent day we seem to be getting more and more data recovery projects. This on it's own wouldn't be a problem, but with some data loss comes regret, regret that the data wasn't backed up.
Fortunately we are able to recovery data from crashed hard drives and Macs but it's never a good time to loose that important file, or worse, pictures!
With everything being on your Macs hard drive, it's always best to back up your data. Contact us and we will put in place a system that can backup your data. Then you will never have to 'recover' it again!
In 2008 MacRepair & Project started proceeding to sue MacJunky for trademark infringement. Needless to say we put up a fight and won on every count that they put forward to the court.
The main body of the complaint was that they accused MacJunky of using their trade name/mark (Mac Repair) without authorization. Our case was that the words 'Mac' & 'Repair' although trademarks of that company, are too specific to repairing Macs and the complaint should not be upheld.
Also while the court case was being prepared they accused MacJunky of all sorts of 'other' infringements that were way too outrageous to mention.
