: Ok, this will probably sound dumb, but i'm curious to know if a clan name (for a computer game) and tag is protected as intellectual propery of the person who created it? I mean if a person creates it, makes a website, and spends a lot of time and effort on it, is there any way to protect it? So someone else won't just steal the name/tag and claim them as their own, taking credit for all of your work?
Dear Vixy,
With copyright, trademarks and the law of unfair competition, properly used, there is a lot of protection. Even patents may apply.
