This is very odd. On the front page of Al Rai newspaper there is a notice from Avenues saying that we can no longer mention Avenues, talk about Avenues or post pictures of Avenues without getting written permission first. That includes, newspapers, magazines, blogs etc…
I’m not sure why they would release something like this. I guess from now on I’ll refer to Avenues as Alshaya Mall?
Thanks Salah
Update: The Avenues have responded [Link]

arent you mentioning avenues in that post?
yes, not sure if I’m allowed to or not

Because of the App
Someone created and design a very nice app but seems like the Avenues did not like it or did not accept it

I agree with Frankom. I too believe it’s because of this app, and other things like it.
I don’t think they meant to include regular mentioning of the avenues, just the miss use of their property in commercial and intellectual ways without prior permission.
It reminds me of the Harry Potter convention of calling the villain, “He who should not be named”. Or like the rock musician, “the artist formerly referred to as Prince”.
So how should we refer to the mall. The mall formerly referred to as that which should not be named. 😉
Looooooooool
avenues is a word in the english dictionary. They do not own it.
Yeah but if you talk about Avenues the mall they do. So avenues is a normal word you can use but once you use the word to reference the mall then you can’t use it. Or at least thats how I understand it.
Using their trademark is porhipeted by low. But it was easier to contact the person and deal with him but I think the massage is for y’all…!
Mark, I guess this is your last post regarding the avenues?! :p
By law! Damn the autocorrect!
Autocorrect my @@@. It would’ve corrected “prohipeted”.
can someone upload the app ? it’s not in the store anymore
Did they mean to say that its under copyright but in the wrong way ,, and by they have no right to tell us that we can’t use avenues cause avenues is the plural of avenue ,,,,so if u wanna do that i will no longer to say I did a full 360 degrees turn cause then they will sue me,, and I can’t say my jet ski is in the marina cause then I said marina and they can sue me,,
Btw Mark if u did the same thing to 2:48am does that mean my computer’s clock and my phones clock need to skip that specific minute?:o!

Couldn’t you wait till after Ramadan to get drunk & start typing shyte??!
Honestly they do have the right to protect their trade mark or what’s so ever…
But the threatening announcement is weird. I doubt it was writing by a lawyer.
I thought firms pay money to get their names across the country !
Anyhow….
Avenues avenues the mall if the many avenues or phases… Phase 1 phase 2 and the not there yet phase 3
The app sucks nothing interesting there!
its their rights Mark, And they have to protect it, Imagine someone made an app with 248am name and u dont have an idea about it, and u cant control it even , and they post your daily logs.
would u stay silent? I dont think u will agree
Did I argue that? When I read the notice I understood I wasn’t allowed to mention Avenues or use their picture on the blog. There is a difference.
blog is more personal/private bas mall maps are open to the public mo nafs il shay . il ad shway ghareeb ya3ny laish maykalmonhom isheelon 3alamathom instead of posting an ad on the paper?
if its about news or reviw its okay I am sure, like new store or new restaurant about to open, thats a good thing and gives credit to them.
but abusing it .. thats the point
What next?We become like the U.S. and get sued for breathing?.
3ad ta6beqhom ghala6 7ag ilmlkeya lw bamreeka chan they wont be sued! if the product is free o educational or promotional mafeha shay isim il law bamreeka fair use 7ata bilkwait ma3teqed yegderon isawon shay qanoneyan bas salfat il twitter yemken shay thany
The irony is that all the bloggers and their mothers are posting about “The Avenues” warning letter ~ epic fail.
