'Original' JEAH taking on Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte

Sept. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Milwaukee, Wis. -- JEAH Communications, LLC has been busy these last few weeks. They've been responding to hundreds of email, tweets, Facebook messages and phone calls from past and current clients, and just about everyone who has ever come in contact with JEAH.

"Existing and former account holders and business partners wanted to be sure we knew US Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte was claiming to have created the term JEAH," said JEAH Communications, LLC's Managing Member, Chris Byrnes, in an interview with Oak Park-River Forest's online newspaper, oakpark.patch.com. "We're assuring them that as holder of a Federal Trademark on the word 'JEAH' since 2002 and used in commerce since 1999, we are actively pursuing the matter and we intend on protecting our trademark from any infringement or dilution."

Byrnes and JEAH Communications, LLC sent a cease-and-desist letter to Ryan Lochte and his attorney.

Byrnes and his team took to the company's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/jeahpro, reminding visitors of JEAH's history.
