Rubén Riojas Posted July 6, 2009 Hi, I was seeing the Brickfilms & Comics section in here when I notices something weird: The topic, banner and forum says "Brick Flicks & Comics" Who changed this?? Is this correct?? Is this a joke?? Will it stay like this?? A lot of questions I'd like to have answered here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyder Posted July 6, 2009 Sometimes a movie is called a flick, and I'm not sure if it is in every country, so I hope it doesn't stay that way. I liked the older banner that said Brickfilms, but the mods probably had good reason to change it. That is, unless it's a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hinckley Posted July 6, 2009 Probably has to do with brickfilm being a registered trademark. Ding ding ding! You are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted July 6, 2009 I actually like the way it rhymes, very catchy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted July 7, 2009 I love the new name, it's fun to say 10 times fast. Oh, and I suggested it, but that doesn't have anything to do with it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted July 7, 2009 Trademarking brickfilms was the biggest load of megablocks... But Brick Flicks is catchy and unique. If it wasn't Shadows who suggested it, I might actually like it. Well done fellas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spaced_out Posted July 7, 2009 ohh ohh! let's trademark it before TAAB and her BF friends will steal it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick A Brack Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) This term "Brick Flicks" is a heresy. It is the result of an unfortunate fate that is now happily coming to an end after 15 long years. On September 17, 2022, the international brickfilm community "Brick-a-Brack" officially announced the change of ownership of the website Brickfilms.com and the trademark "Brickfilms". In appreciation for the fantastic work of Eurobricks for the AFOL community (and long time partner of our community). We officially authorize the replacement of the word Brick Flicks by the word "Brickfilms". If @Darkdragon is still responsible for this section. I invite her to make this change with great pleasure as soon as she can and in case of doubt to contact us on our site. PS; And with a few days delay. Happy Birthday Darkdragon!

Alexandrina Posted November 10, 2023 What was the series of events which led 'brickfilms' to be a trademarked term in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick A Brack Posted December 29, 2023 Very good question! @Alexandrina Its second owner wished to hand over the reins. But with each change, in the absence of a serious buyer in the community, the site and all its past could disappear. His aim was for his successor to be the "last", ensuring the site's continued existence and the preservation of its heritage. One of the tasks aimed at achieving this goal was to register the trademark to protect the site from malicious scammers. The whole story and the series of events that followed are meticulously documented in this link. https://brickfilms.com/community/VGhyZWFkOjg3NTU=/brickfilms-chronicle-by-drneolao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
