Is "Shmoo Plot" copyrighted by Teradyne or trademarked? I don't believe that a two word phrase can be copyrighted, only trademarked. --66.88.133.2 16:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the application of copyright vs. trademark; I don't know if Teradyne really has a trademark on the name. They might however have a copyright on the design of graph paper for use in making a Shmoo plot.--Theodore Kloba 15:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the uspto.gov web site, and there is no mention of a copyright or trademark on shmoo, other than from Al Capp's estate. But you don't need a registered copyright to have a copyright. So the statement could be correct. 72.74.96.24 21:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
