Larry,
Where is Guild of Bricksmiths (tm) trademarked? I've searched the US Patent
and Trademark Office, http://www.uspto.gov/, and nothing turns up for Guild
of Bricksmiths, or even just Bricksmiths:
http://tess.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=afeo3o.1.1
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?
Calum
