What?!? 9000!??!

Edit:

I could have sworn the lower-case "i" prefix was a part of Apples intellectual property?

And I patented the uppercase "L" prefix just in case.

A letter isn't exactly intellectual property

Hi,


I would like to tell my story. Last year, I used to feel tired, uninspired and week. I couldn't get girls while playing gigs! But after I ordered my iRenew, my vitality increased! I felt stronger, handsome, higher and happier than ever! All of my gigs were a success and I've just signed a contract with a major label and endorsements you'd never think you'd get! Order NOW!

Of course the letter itself isn't patented, but the way it is used.

Just like patenting a brand name, or a colour with regards to a certain product, for example, Cadbury have a patent on their particular shade of purple regarding chocolate.

If you can't patent a letter with regards to a certain use, then you can't patent a name.

Quite the opposite. You could declare a line of i- products your property. You could then sue those who seem to use the i- prefix as a way of fooling customers into thinking you made something.

But declare it yours? It did not work as you claim for Cadbury. They tried to own the Pantone 2685C color. It was used elsewhere with clearly no attempt to fool customers, and they lost the case on the first time they took legal action, which was against Nestlé and Darrel Lea.

See also: Edge games. The guy has spent the last 15 years trying to make the word "edge" his.

(part of my work is in brand creation and management)

to achieve that, you have to attach the magnetic flux amplictatortron. Pull the cord out of a lamp, attach one conductor to both ends of the bracelet, put it on, then plug the cord in.

The Segovia of bass, you soon will be.

yeah, my humor meter has been busted for a while. And I've been bee-otching about the BS I see on the silly-tube all the time. Thus, the OP's intended sarcasm blew right past me. I even complained to a mod. Hmmph---I hope nobody trespasses on my property tonight-I'll probably end in jail. I guess I am in a foul mood and wish I could put a bunch of commies in a ditch.

Pssht--I need to chill. I even cussed myself in a mirror today cuz I thought someone was in the house that should not be there. Still feel like cussing--hah----I'll fool the mods and cuss below but they will not know what I am saying.

Dude...you only said 9000%. But if you feel you're ready for the "this one goes to 11,000%" step, by all means...don't forget the goggles.
