Copyright?
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Terms cannot be copyrighted or patented, only trademarked, so the statement is at least inaccurate if not downright false. DanielPenfield 21:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Example in external link is not inspiring
The GIF file example in the link is not very inspiring. We could do with some clearer examples of Shmoo plots. DFH 08:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
