We have one nice slogan or maybe word or whatever, and I never want other lazy copykat to make use of it. Can I just put the (TM) symbol near it without paying, registering, for example anything
Thnx
I believe using TM without the proper licensing is actually illegal AFAIK. Opt for the symbol (alt+0169), thats acceptable!
You implement the TM image for anything that’s not previously trademarked and may be legally trademarked. You can’t use the documented trademark symbol, nonetheless.
The registered trademark symbol is a (R) symbol, right
So I’ll do something such as:
ThisIsMyStupid And Boring Slogan So you Can’t CopyIt (TM).
Acceptable, sorry, got everthing wrong lol: -P The documented trademark symbol is a (r) symbol, try www. webmonkey. com to learn the html coding for it.
Yes, presented nobody has used it. It is legally better to register that, but as by using patents and copyrights, you’ll die connected with natural causes before it takes effect.
Or at the least your site can have changed. The context is often a matter of years.
As a make any difference of fact you should prove that you might have been using the phrase befor an individual regester for a strong offical trademark and the simplest way is to always squeeze TM.
Like filbert1 reported dont hold your breath on your trademarks to possibly be registered.. Ive been waiting already for a few months for my own.. but it seems like quite a while already!!
Personally I would shy away from TM’ing a name until the way to in use regarding long enough if anyone else is to recognise it.
When i see it about sites it always gives me the impression of an amateur setup if the name isn’t popular.
The sort connected with people who will rip off XtremeComputingXperience. com (which, afterall, is the almost diabolical pseudo vocabulary one does see TM’d to the net) aren’t exactly gonna be the sort who’ll respect a TM at any rate.
AFAIK in the united kingdom a name have to have been used for any certain period (years, not weeks) before it could legitimately be TM’d anyhow. If not, I’m down towards TM office to buy a few hundred these people : registered, I think I’ll focus on 4G, Nictotine Free (in readiness for any ban on most of nicotine in cigarettes) and lots of other well identified phrases with a X stuck to the front – just in case (" Wrigley’s XGum : live the practical knowledge of ultimate GM cost-free mint" – I believe it might get on! )
In the event you ‘aint Coke or maybe MacDonalds I would bother.
It could be helpful to register it if it is just a name or will be the name of a firm.
I understand someone who ordered a domain age range ago, registered that name, and then recently some guys decided they were going to name their corporation that, etc. They tried suing her for any domain and name, which didn’t carry a leg upward in court seeing that she was the particular legal owner regarding both. They ended up having to pay out about three times as much money as she might have sold it for should they had not sued the woman’s.
BTW filburt… for all your copyright bashing, this individual got his copyrights done in the matter of a month. Seems pretty fair if you ask me…
Either they had an exceptionally poor lawer or represented themselves.. just because a halfway decent lawyer can have known they didnt have a very chance in hell.
Copywrites are not the same as Trademarks..
Accurate… but
opps.. didnt capture filburt1’s flub..
no no take as longer to file for copywrite. all you so is send them a copy in the work and the appliance and fee and they also file it reasonably quick and easy. With trademarks they have to research and complete *gasp* work.. thats component to what takes so long. And patents… oh well then , i’ll just ask you, how many times perhaps you have heard the time period patent pending Such as waiting for agreement.
Yeah, my friend laughed completely to the traditional bank.
