Submitting Man Laws

**BFritz** · 02-13-2007, 05:15 PM

I understand that submitting a Man Law should be done with no expectations of receiving an award, but I believe that this could be one of the top Man Laws ever, what should I do??

Copyright it.

How would I do that? I know other people would try and take credit for it.

Find the copyright office, pay to have it copyrighted and then when that went through you own it and people would have to pay YOU to use it.

It's called PATENT OFFICE...

I thought that it was but I wasn't for sure.

Fritz, contact the PATENT office and copyright it.

I'm afraid to say cause I'm afraid someone will steal it.

Patent it and get paaaaid for it.

Seriously, copyright it as yours and if it is that good then they may use it in those commericals or something and pay YOU.

How do I contact the patent office?? Will it cost money?

Is it possible to patent words? Really, I have no idea. I wouldn't imagine that you could. Maybe a trademark on the phrase or something. I think patents are for designs or ideas of technology and products.
I would assume it costs money to get patents. Anyway, the United States Patent and Trademark Office should provide you with all the information you need.

Heres the link..

Pat Riley owns the phrase "3-peat"

Paris Hilton owns "That's Hot"

**thetribe** · 02-15-2007, 01:48 AM

I don't think that Paris DOES own That's Hot, she DID try to copyright it but I don't think that she did.

And QQ, that's what I'm talking about, trademarking the phrase. People do it all the time. Gene Simmons owns the rights to a money bag with a dollar sign on it. He originally tried to get the rights to the dollar sign in general.

And yes, BFritz it does cost money. It's like copyrighting a song so you can sell it later. Patent is for inventions and such, copyright/trademark/etc. is from phrases and pictures and stuff.

Dale Senior pattened his sig.

**thetribe** · 02-15-2007, 05:14 AM

And that was a very good idea BC. He and his family made TONS of money off royalties from it. That signature was/is EVERYWHERE!
