: : Well, I can appreciate that, but it's difficult to now sit here and ponder when somebody picks an innocent user name based on their location and alumni status how often another website owner can come along and say... oops, I own something similar to that, so remove it or be sued. So, how far can a trademarked name keep adding onto their name and say that they own any and all usage of that name whether it be straight up or included in a longer name/screen name/sentence/etc.? There's got to be some point where adding a word to it makes it not theirs. : Dear Josi, : If this is an intellectual exercise, I cannot afford to explain the law.
