Purposeful Ramblings Through My Mind

Don't wade into the ocean of US trademark law without a flotation vest, lifeline, harpoon launcher and, at least, a destroyer backing you up. The history of trademark law is littered with the dessicated corpses of innovative firms. There have been cases where larger companies destroyed smaller ones by purposely infringing on their trademarks for force them into costly litigation. The way the law is worded, you have to zealously defend the trademark of lose it. Were I gainfully employed, I would do this. As it is, I'd go bankrupt PDQ unless I could find a lawyer with the same sense of humor as me. Even so, I have to wonder if copyrighting the image of your body would work. Copyright lets you go after people who infringe with the assumption you own it. Trademark law seems to work backwards. Anyway, I know I'd need a lawyer to deal with any of this.
