Greta podnela prijavu za zaštitu imena od komercijalne zloupotrebe

Greta se na ovaj potez odlučila radi zaštite pokreta od zloupotrebe u komercijalne svrhe.

U postu na svom profilu na Instagramu 17-godišnja Šveđanka je rekla da ona i njene kolege aktivisti nemaju apsolutno nikakav interes u vezi sa zaštitnim znakom, ali da je to nažalost nešto što treba učiniti.

Tunbergova je rekla da se prijavom štiti njeno ime, naziv pokreta "Petkom za budućnost" i "Školski štrajk zbog klime", što je bio slogan koji je ona držala tokom protesta ispred švedskog parlamenta, koji je inspirisao slične akcije drugih mladih ljudi.

Tunbergova je rekla da je zaštita njenog imena i pokreta potrebna jer se stalno koriste u komercijalne svrhe bez ikakvog pristanka.

"To se, na primer, dešava u marketingu, prodaji proizvoda i ljudi koji skupljaju novac u moje ime i u ime pokreta'', napisala je Tunbergova.

"Petkom za budućnost je globalni pokret koji sam ja osnovala", rekla je Tunbergova i dodala da on pripada onima koji u njemu učestvuju, a pre svega mladim ljudima.

Ne može se i ne sme koristiti u pojedinačne ili komercijalne svrhe, istakla je ona.

Tunbergova je navela i da ona i njena porodica, takođe, osnivaju neprofitnu fondaciju koja će transparentno rukovati novcem od stvari poput autorskih prava, donacija i nagrada.

Cilj fondacije biće "promovisanje ekološke, klimatske i društvene održivosti, kao i mentalnog zdravlja'', napisala je ona.

Impostors, trademarks, commercial interests, royalties and foundation... First: Unfortunately there are still people who are trying to impersonate me or falsely claim that they "represent" me in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media, artists etc. Please be aware that this is happening and be extremely suspicious if you are contacted by ”me” or someone saying they ”represent” me. I apologize to anyone who has been contacted - and even misled - by this kind of behavior. Second: My name and the #FridaysForFuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever. It happens for instance in marketing, selling of products and people collecting money in my and the movement’s name. That is why I’ve applied to register my name, Fridays For Future, Skolstrejk för klimatet etc as trademarks. This action is to protect the movement and its activities. It is also needed to enable my pro bono legal help to take necessary action against people or corporations etc who are trying to use me and the movement in purposes not in line with what the movement stands for. I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done. Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking part in it, above all the young people. It can - and must - not be used for individual or commercial purposes. And third: together with my family I’m setting up a foundation. It’s already registered and existing, but it not is not yet up and running. This is strictly nonprofit of course and there are no interests in philanthropy. It is just something that is needed for handling money (book royalties, donations, prize money etc) in a completely transparent way. For instance, taxes have to be paid before we can give them away to specified purposes and charities. This takes a lot of time and work, and when the foundation is fully up and running I will tell you more. The foundation’s aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as mental health. Love/ Greta
