: : The cheapest way to copyright your music is to make a recording of it. Next you may want to send the recording to yourself in a double registered envelope, sign for it, and store this unopened package in a secure location. Do not open the package. do not open the package. do not open the package. The food company is able to sue you for using "their" name simply because they registered it first. Try adding another word, perhaps a descriptor, to the name you were thinking of originally...good luck Dear Mr. Hilton, Your suggestion may have merit and may have risks. The one time, in court, I found something like this to have worked was for the party to have have send the disclosure to another person and then the party testified as to the disclosure that he had written as proof that it was sent. See how safe you are using, Coca Cola Whamo. M.
