Default Re: AC Question

Those IP issues deal more with Copyrights/Patents than Tradenames/Service Marks/etc. I think they're fairly different insofar as one can create a contract at the time of sale that requires a protection of the copyright and then sue for violations. It probably wouldn't work, but it's a potential solution. I think Trademarks are trickier in that there is a strong incentive to create a confusingly similar name/mark so as to get the benefits of the goodwill of a competing product.
