"SOARING" possibly in legal jeoprady
"You can't copyright a word in general use, and you certainly can't
patent it. No problem here. You might be able to prevent it's use for other, very similar, purposes; e.g., another magazine couldn't call itself Soaring if it was about soaring sailplanes, instead of, say, Peter Pan fantasies." Yes, but recently a patent was issued for the peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. I suppose now each day a mom or dad makes one for their kid's lunch they will have to pay a royalty. Brian |

Brian I recall that the PB&J patent was for a particular structure that allowed the sandwich to be manufactured, packaged, and sold. The trick was a technology to keep the jelly from soaking into the bread. The funnier one to me was some years ago when someone made a new peanut butter that contained only 100% peanuts--no additives, no hydrogenated oil, stiffeners, etc. He was sued--successfully as I recall, because "peanut butter" had these other things in them. His 100% peanuts only spread had to be called "artificial" or some such because it wasn't similar to the regular stuff. There is some logic to that, but it is somewhat convoluted. |

"Bruce Hoult" wrote in message ... In article .com, wrote: Peanut Butter here in NZ has never had anything in it but peanuts, salt, and *maybe* a little peanut oil. I can not *stand* the stuff in the USA. It has SUGAR in it. Ick! Bruce, I live in the USA and completely agree with your assessment of the popular brands of our Peanut Butter. However, there is at least one brand, Adams, which isn't sweetened. The only brand that we will buy. Wayne HP-14 N990 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ |

Grew up on that processed sweetened crap. Can't stand it now. To get back on subject. PB&J (or honey) is my fave. on long flights. Just gotta coat both pieces of bread with peanut butter, and go light on the jelly or honey, lest your hand sticks to the flap handle and you're forced to land gear-up ;-) Shawn |

I can not *stand* the stuff in the USA. It has SUGAR in it. Ick! When I was growing up in Holland (this was a while ago, mind you), some canned goods were lableled "formulated for the American taste" and was very sweet and salty to my taste. When my family emigrated to the US, I understood. Ton Verhulst |

And that was a long time ago. Does that qualify as prior art? :-) -- Geoff the sea hawk at wow way d0t com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail Spell checking is left as an excercise for the reader. |
