I'm changing the name to avoid trademark issues.
Hi all, I haven't been contacted yet but I've been meaning to rename my listings to remove the trademarked name. Its such a common word used to describe this type of product that I didn't really pick up on that like I should have. So you will see the name change to Can Holder. I'm going to do this starting now to hopefully avoid any legal issues. The models won't change but the name will.
Update: I've gotten most names changed but I need to remove the listing on Patreon for the team versions. These were always free files, they have always been hosted on makerworld, so nothing is really going away- I'm just removing the post that I made annoucing that its available.

I give the football helmets away as presents where an i find them now
Good choice, with it being so popular right now, they will definitely be watching.
I was hoping you would change this before an issue arised. 🙂
Thank you
Are your team can holders still on Patreon?
Do you make the team ones for football and basketball?
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE
Wow I learned something new
If anyone has watched the movie Sinners maybe we can call it a “cooze”. 😆
Yep! Posted my "can cooler" on Etsy and within 8 hours it was removed for that word that starts with "K" and ends with "oozie". I didn't even think to look up if it was trademarked!
Can’t you change it to “coozie”?
woluldn't matter if you changed the letter, it's still the same word/likeness to the legals
Sorry for being so novice, but what wording is trademark that youre worried about exactly?
Koozie is trademarked.
I’m just new, I bought the membership yesterday but I’ve printed some that has your brand at the bottom. Will there be an issue for that? I’m sorry, pls advise.
That’s his brand, so you won’t have to worry about infringement. The word “koozie” is trademarked and they are going after vendors like crazy.
Thank you
btw some links will be broken until I finish
Good move
Probably a good idea with how companies are with trademark and ip these days.
What like the word Koozie is trade marked already or something?
Yes it is! Crazy right?
Please. Because they gave me a violation and I’d hate for that to happen to you. I called the lawyer who filed the complaint and it’s because of trademark “Koozie”. He was able to withdraw his complaint but I was super shocked Lol
Smart move, yeah none of my listings say that word. I definitely say Can holder.
