is it patentable?? the words "classified" or "classifieds"
« on: 12-02-08 at 11:43 pm »
Can you legally, enforceably patent the word "classified" or "classifieds"?

Any help is appreciated.

No.  Words are not patentable subject matter.

Look into trademarks.  You'll find more useful information there.
