Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Sheeeeeeesh! He employed NO DUE DILIGENCE in stopping others from borrowing reference to his book's title!

Can't you get that through your head?

Need more proof? Here is what the ABA says about trademark infringement:

"Trademarks and logos can often be used in movies without clearance, as long as they are not used in the 'Trademark sense.' This covers instances where the use would create a liklihood of confusion as to the origin of goods or services or as to whether the mark's owner sponsored or otherwise approved the use of the trademark, in advertising or promotion, or in a manner that would dilute or denigrate the mark."

Note: THIS is in the instance of unlicensed use the EXACT trademark, not an altered or variation on a trademark in another medium, assuming that a trademark could be proven in the first place through the author's due diligence in stopping others who also "borrowed" his book's title for symbolic value.

Have you found that clue yet? ;^)
