#LOST SOUL ASIDE TRADEMARK CODE#

'Because we conclude that the declaring code and the structure, sequence, and organization of the API packages are entitled to copyright protection, we reverse the district court’s copyrightability determination'Īnd the methods of interfacing RPG components together just became copyrights. (.) The symbols for each sphere are things that they do own. Dividing magic into spheres is not something they can own, and the specific spheres they have chosen are all normal words that they also cannot own. So you probably can't use 'Virtual Adepts' because I think they put their flag up on that one, but you obviously can use the 'Order of Hermes' because that's a thing that predates White Wolf even existing. In that case, every proper name is copyright, and you can only use the ones that have prior art. Although actually you might be able to, because White Wolf hasn't been publishing anything for a long time and if a trademark isn't used or defended it ceases to exist.Īnyway, what you're actually interested in is the part where 'All characters, names, places and text herein are copyrighted by White Wolf Publishing, Inc' because that's the part that includes content you actually want to use. So you can't use this logo:Īnd you can't name a book about technomages in an RPG setting 'digital web 2.0' or anything that would be confused with that logo or title. The trademark is on the specific logo and use. Because that's a thing and it's what it is called. Obviously you can use the phrase 'digital web 2.0' when discussing, for example: Web 2.0. So first off, most of that is trademarks. All characters, names, places and text herein are copyrighted by White Wolf Publishing, Inc.
