View Full Version : title copyright Gale Smith April 28th, 2004, 08:19 AM ? Paul Tauger April 28th, 2004, 09:02 AM No such thing. Peter Moore April 28th, 2004, 09:13 AM Gale, what is your question precisely? Rob Lohman April 28th, 2004, 09:24 AM I'm assuming you want to know if you can name your movie: "Star Wars" for example? In this case I'm assuming your answer is not "complete", Paul? Paul Tauger April 28th, 2004, 10:38 AM I assumed the question was, "Does copyright protect titles?" The answer is no. You _can_ name your movie Starwars without infringing copyright. You will, however, be sued for trademark infringement. Gale Smith April 28th, 2004, 03:35 PM No, actually, after I had posted the thread, I found my answer. I tried to delete the thread and it wouldn't allow me to do that. Thanks for the response though. Paul Tauger April 28th, 2004, 04:48 PM Hey, we're getting good -- we can answer questions before they're even asked ! ;) Rob Lohman April 29th, 2004, 03:37 AM Gale: perhaps you can elaborate a bit on what you wanted to know exactly and what answer you got? That might help future people who do a search on this. Ofcourse normal users cannot delete threads. That's a privilege forum wranglers have. Good thing too, we want to have most stuff online so it is searchable for other people! Gale Smith April 29th, 2004, 07:56 AM What I needed to know is where I needed to look for registered trademarks and copyrights. I also needed some info on video release forms. I found my answers on the thread titled "frequently asked questions". Go figure. Patience, sometimes, is not my greatest quality. |
