<div dir="ltr"><b>@Otto</b><br><div><br>"True, trademark law is different. You can trademark the name of<br>
something and then use that to prevent others using the name. In which<br>
case they'd need to rename the thing to something else before<br>
redistributing or reselling."<br><br></div><div>That's exactly what I said. And you don't have to actually register a trademark for it to be trademarked, that's not how trademark law works. If you create something, name it and then establish it publicly, it's trademarked. Albeit, not as "secure" as a USPTO trademark when it comes to defending it, but the law does respect it if you can reasonably prove that you were using it first.<br>
<br></div><div>Nothing I said was incorrect, it was good and correct advice. You said I was wrong and then went on to agree with exactly what I said in the first place, ironic considering the subject title. It seems like your default position is to assume I'm wrong, even when we agree on something.<br>
