Where do I go to register the words >"distortion," "reverb," "delay," "sampler," etc.? To register a trademark, you go to the Patent and Trademark Office of your respective country, fill out forms, pay fees, etc. Some additional processes to get it international. If the word has already been used in product names, you won't get it. So your choices here probably wouldn't fly. Eventide, on the other hand, probably does have a trademark on "harmonizer" since they have been making products with that name for a long time, certainly before anyone else was. Matthias, as it happens, registered the word "Loop" internationally for music, audio, and media products quite a long time ago when he first started working on these things. That trademark is now owned by Aurisis Research, our little loopy company, and is the name for our software. That's why the echoplex says "Loop" when you turn it on. With any (or a lot of) luck, lot's of stuff will say that when it turns on, and we'll be like dolby or something. (well, I can dream....) Oh, and our massive, well-financed legal department is ready to take names and kick butt, so watch yerself. :-) kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
