Re: Umm said by novaflare:said by nixen:Because you can't copyright/register a word in common use as a trademark. For example, "Windows". By itself, not copyrightable. When teamed with "Microsoft Windows", it is then copyrightable. -tom Nope but you sure can trade mark words just ask coca cola,,,,, If one invents the word and defends the brand from the beginning, then yes. "Coke" is copyrightable. "Coca Cola" is copyrightable. "Coca" and "Cola", not in combination with each other, are not copyrightable.
