Nearly Headless Ned Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Meanwhile, sales of the book in question through other venues have apparently shot up.Kind of predictable. Can't believe that GW actually thought this was a good idea.I mean really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sounds as ridiculous as Marvel/DC trademarking the term "superhero."Oh, wait....Actually, I'm surprised the Tolkien Estate hasn't stepped forward to claim ownership of the term "orc."

The Marquis de Leech Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Trademark stupidity is never ending. A local brewery in my city had been named Duff's Brewery for a century. It had to change its name after pressure from Fox because of The Simpsons. The brewery would've won the court case, but they didn't want the expense of legal fees.
