Act like a T-Rex: eat a lawyer.

May 8th is Act Like a T-Rex Day, legal issues permitting.

They have trademarked the word “T-REX”. Any merchandise with the word “T-REX” anywhere on it according to their Opposition, “is likely to cause confusion as to the source or origin” and “mislead consumers” doing damage to their business

I have a meager, lay understanding of copyright law (because I’ve registered a copyright and have a book listing in the copyright office database, so I’ve read a little on the topic), but I don’t understand trademark law at all. You can trademark a term that’s already in public use (T-Rex) and then keep other people from using it. I want to trademark “The” and watch the royalties flood in.

May 8th is also another holiday, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
