Copyright Name?

zin,



I agree with Ice regarding the trade-name mark issue. At the very most I would use the trademark as a flanking utility with regard to debt collectors. Ask the guys at JHD etc. if they have ever collected on an outstanding invoice for unauthorized use of one's name i.e. property. I know that the answer is NO.



The best recommendation that anyone can offer is that you study the law and its procedure. In my opinion there is a great deal to be said about administrative law and private administrative settlement and or collateral estoppel, however if someone has made up their mind that they are going to sue you, you'd best know how to operate in a court room or you are toast -- plain and simple.



If you want to get started about the very basics of court I recommend how to represent yourself in court by Nolo's Press. Mind you that it is a system oriented book however there is a lot of good information in this book that can help.
