| So, have they trademarked the word "second" and all its forms? I was thinking of calling my next store "Sloppy Seconds".

My Mood: | They cant protect SL or LL -- trademark law doesnt allow two character trademarks. Three is very difficult to pursue (you have to be a big known brand, ala IBM, Sun, etc) I dont know why they are trying to - they should know that they arent required to defend those, since they cant aquire them. Usual disclaimer: IANAL. |

My Mood: | The SL part is problematic in general but is easy to enforce if you go contextual. For example we can't argue that SL in SL Universe is not Second Life. Having been exposed to trademark rules of international organizations, not even corporations, I'm actually surprised Linden Labs took so long to handle this matter. Trademark guidelines are important so that people can clearly and easily distinguish between you (SL and LL in this case) and someone who is only associated with you (SLU, SLExchange, etc). RIght when the commercial websites sprung up LL should have supplied logos (like the InSL) and usage rules for such purpose. Truth be told, I was surprised that their logo/banner package that is downloadable from the website contained their actual official logos and trademarks and not affiliation logos (e.g. InSL).

Besides it's a pretty common thing that fansites use the host name (e.g. WoW, RO, Sims) and extend it. IMO LL should not take any issues with SLUniverse, SLExchange, and the like since they are extended names very much like, say, ROEmpire, and there's no way you can be mistaken to be an official LL entity. LL should allow the SL-extending. It's important for them to have legal distance but it's also important for them to have recognizable proximity. People still have to know immediately that your site is SL-oriented. | |
