Speaking of which, A.A. MIlne's first book enters Public Domain this year.ChrisGreaves wrote: ↑04 Jan 2022, 17:47... which brings us full-circle to the world's first atavistic avatar
I do not understand this article in full, but got confused when trademarks were mentioned, pondering "Are our atavars the equivalent of trademarks?"
Cheers
Chris

Re: A Question about Smilies
Avatars are NOT trademarks. A trademark has to be registered, and consistently used as the name of a product or service.
A copyright is the right of an author, artist etc. to exclusive rights over their own work. It does not need to be registered, but you do need to be able to prove that you were the creator of the original.
