Posters have made a number of good points but I would like to point out that
this topic has come up before and those interested may want to do some
searching in market.theory where it tends to get discussed periodically...
they may discover tidbits not mentioned in this iteration.

Please also note that Guild of Bricksmiths (not "Brick Guild") is a
trademarked name and should have a TM after it when first mentioned (or
somewhere on the page)... thanks!

Larry,

Where is Guild of Bricksmiths (tm) trademarked?  I've searched the US Patent

IANAIL (I'm not an IP lawyer) but I didn't think American law (being a
Canadian) allows for automatic trademarking, unlike automatic copyrighting
of materials.  Is it that if you put (tm) after anything, you're
automatically afforded trademark provisions under American IP law?  Sort of
like, if I make a webpage, copyright to me is implied?  Doesn't applying for
trademarks mean a significant amount of legal fees?
