Comments:
: : I have a few questions concerning trademarks, comic books in particular. : : : : 1) If I trademark a title like say for instance 'X-Men' would I need to register individual Trademarks for the individual characters that appear in the book? : : 2) If someone has chosen a name for their company, published under this name, but has not registered for anything but a domain name, do I have the right to publish periodicals under the same name if I trademark the name for paper publication first? Would they have a legitament case if they contest my right to use it? : : 3) : Dear CAA, : There is beauty in the law, though there is certainly reason to distrust it too. Basically you start with what you want and then see if it can be acomplished(sp?). Or you don't start if you are going up a dead end street. : M.
