I don’t mean this to be smart, but, why does it matter who coined the phrase “pianaroma”. Just a question.

Anonymous2, try opening a restaurant and naming it “Mcdonald’s” and you’ll soon find out why trademarks matter.

Brad,
I understand trademarks, but, I think this is hardly the same thing. Are they wanting to make money off the NQC pianaroma and were they before his death? Again, I am not being sarcastic. Just a couple of questions. I’m sure there are a lot of people like me that didn’t know about this.

I am not close to the issue.. and really don’t know for sure. However.. with what little I have been able to sense.. it may be mostly the NQC’s attitude.. and other SG persons handling of the situation.. with little regard for Anthony’s interests,.. before or after his death.

Dino copyrighted the trademark “Pianorama of Praise” in 1984. It was cancelled after a six-year period and not renewed by Dino.
Burger applied to copyright “Pianorama” in March 2001 and the copyright was registered to him in December 2002.
Most southern gospel groups don’t bother to copyright their names. Bill Gaither is a notable exception.

Most groups don’t copyright names, because there is no such thing as a copyrighted group name. Copyrights apply to creative works like songs, books, movies, and art, not “doing business as” names.
A number of groups do trademark names, though, which is probably what you meant to say.

Other than the smell, what is the difference between “Pianorama” and “Pianaroma”?

my, my my, how we Christians get our backs up when money/potential money/ is involved. “Keep our mouth shut” ???, “Let sleeping dogs lie” ???, “Big mouth”???
With that kind of attitude in the mix, I encourage Luann to persue legal resolution to the issue of who “owns” the name pianorama.
And I would encourage Anonymous to consider a trip to the altar.

She has every right to follow up on Anthony’s creation and she has every right to earn a profit from his work. How did Anthony trademark it, start it but not be invited the last few years? There is the story..Get that answer and you will know the true meaning to the trademark scenario.

I didn’t know Anthony had been married before nor did I know he had 2 biological children. I think in the tribute video I saw a tall boy, who is probably his son. How old are the children and who was his first wife? It seems that she should be in on some of the $$ from his estate. How long had he been married to Luuann?

Eva and Anthony were introduced by Foxxy of the Kingsmen Qt. They married in the early eighties and were married for 20-22 years. They have two sons, Anthony John Burger, Jr. (AJ) and Austin, ages 16 and 13 respectively. Eva and Anthony divorced in 2002, and Anthony remarried Luann in 2002. She was formally married to Gary Apple, (sang with Jerry Goff and other groups and traveled with Anthony some. His sister Karen Apple was with The Speer family). Lori is the daughter of Gary and Luann. Anthony and Luann were married about four years.
