Dummy trademarks by Warner Brothers (was Re: Copyright infringement question

[Tonks]

Carol asked me to post this when I found it.

The place where the discussion about Warner Brothers and trademarks 
for dummy movie names, etc. to throw people off the real one was a 
discussion at Mugglenet. It was in one of the notes of their podcast 
#45.

Here is how to find all of the dead titles that WB filed a trademark 
for and then abandoned when the real title was announced.

Go to this page and push on the first link for 'New User Form Search 
Basic' and type in: Harry Potter and the  

and you will see them all.
