Having been on the "short end of the stick" re: patent violations I feel somewhat knowledgeable on the subject. Yes, letters and numbers can and are protected in some instances. I used the telescopic/balloon lettering that DC Comics aka Warner Communications used to spell Superman. Ooops. I secured a patents atty to handle the case. In our first meeting he told me (and this is the part you need to get) "Oh you have a case alright; you just don't have enough money. We're not talking David & Goliath here. We're talking about a Giant and a fucking ant. They will schedule court hearings in NYC only to cancel after you have arrived and are out a $1000 in plane fares. They'll bleed you dry before it ever goes to court. Would you like to proceed?" I thanked him for his candor, wrote him a check then called their atty's to say that they were right and I was wrong. Guess what? They were great to work with. They understood that it was a start up company and agreed to give me 6 months to change the company stationary and re-letter the trucks. Remember the Golden Rule. It's universal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
