Re: FIRST's patents
Yeah Jeff, I thought the same thing as you when I heard this. If words are TM, I'm pretty sure that means that anyone who wants to use them has to pay (I think that's why the octuplet's mom is TMing the word "octomom")
Now, if we're trying to get out into the media as much as possible, we would want to communicate gracious professionalism and coopertition, would we not? But from my understanding of the TM, media using these words will now have to pay fees for using those words. Seems counter intuitive to me...
(Please note, it's been a few years since I took media law on this topic, I may not be remembering correctly)
