Subject:Re: Usage Question: Claris the Cow-dog From:"Arlen P. Walker" <Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 9 Jan 1996 10:49:00 -0600
Does anybody know if this "name" is protected/Registered/TM'd etc. ?
Claris is a software Company.
Clarus is the Dogcow.
It was the subject of Macintosh Tech Note #31. It's a character from the Apple
font "Cairo" (now won't *that* start the conspiracy theories flowing!) so I
would suspect it's protected at least in that manner.
It has appeared on T-Shirts and buttons from Apple, so I'd suspect it's also
protected in another way as well, though that's only a guess. Probably the only
one who knows for sure is Mark Harlan (the TW at Apple who wrote TN #31).
Moof!
Have fun,
