But is it worth it?
I mean, Rydain's nick is relatively unique but I don't think she'd go that far to protect it. |

Originally posted by Colin Perhaps if you became famous netwide for something you put out on the internet...but even then, that's no reason to go as far as trademarking . My username is probably even worse - but I don't care. There's really no reason to get your panties in a knot over one little imp. Oh, and something I forgot - there's the problem of getting the trademark to go through. |

Your fame would precede you and most people would know who you are by then anyways. (And in some cases, you'd just come out with your real name especially if the media picked up on it.) | |||

I hope you can pay the $325 trademark registration processing fee. Without your trademark being registered, you don't have much of a shot at any meaningful success in most types of legal procedings. | |||

Even then, wouldn't it likely do nothing, since the guy had registered those names before he would have gotten the trademark registered? | |||

Originally posted by NSNickNot exactally. Though, if the name is being used enough by enough people to describe something, it can become what's called genericized. An example of this is the trademark on "Band-Aid" which is inching dangerously close to becoming genericized (and therefore invalid). Rule of thumb, if the majority of people don't think of you when your trademark is in use (assuming they know the trademark beforehand), you don't have much hope. |
