Question
Hiya There.
I read an answer relating to copyrights to a line or slogan.
I have a few that i'm positively sure is not ever used. This was before i even considered advertising. The answer read that i should send a registered letter to myself, and not to open it, and if if was used i can present this later.
What do you mean send i letter to myself. what will the letter say.
please advice
Kind Regards
Pearl
Hi, Pearl
The point of sending a letter to yourself is to have proof that you wrote the slogan at a specific date.
This way, if you ever went to court, you could produce the UNOPENED letter to the judge. The judge would look at the postmark of the letter, then open it - and then inside...bam. There's your slogan.
Make sense?
