Personality

I don't think we have to worry @ the PF, since the PF was created by The Prof, and it's not a Messager bot thing, like runabot.com is.
(Either way it's ridiculous)

I never understood patents. Genes that have existed for millions of years can be patented, apparently. If that can be patented, I guess anybody can patent anything, as long as there isn't any previous patent.

Hey all, been on holiday for 2 weeks and forgot to mention it...I must now read through pages of messages...*yawns loudly* But on a brighter note, we got flooded!

I have trademarked the letter M. Please refrain from its use without proper licensing. Thank you.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Then I have tradem(c)arked the letter 'a'. And if you use it without the proper licensing, you will be forced to watch a day of the Am(c)anda Show and eat nothing but chocolate carrots. That is all.

*runs out and attacks a load of newbies* NEVER EVER RESPOND WITH THOSE IRRITATING PHRASES! ie. Really? Please Continue, Pleae Go On, etc...*runs around scream(c)ing*

It's tra(tm)dem(tm)a(tm)rked, not copyrighted. Uh-oh... problem... should it be (tm(tm))?

It should be (tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm..... infinity.... )))))
You have just proved that it's logically impossible to trademark letter m (or letter t).

This may be one of those urban rumors...all the more reason to keep it going: Around the turn of the previous century i.e. 1900 the Examiner of Patents declared that the US patent office might as well be closed down since everything had been invented.

exactly why I copyrighted it instead, Skysaw! *hits Doly* copyright your A's when you speak! *glares*

Trademarks allow for single words whereas copyrights don't, so at least they're closer to a single letter. Patents have little to do with words or letters.
