Hi
 
Trademark - from the IP Australia Website (responsible for Trademarks and
such)
 
"A registered trade mark gives you the legal right to use, license or sell
it within Australia for the goods and services for which it is
registered."
 
It goes on to talk about all sorts of other stuff which isinteresting to
those who want to know all about trademarks etc.
 
you can also use their search engine ATMOSS to search for trademarks -
aprs does not appear in the register.
 
Copyright - from the Australian Copyright Council
 
"Copyright is a type of legal protection for people who express ideas and
information in certain forms. The most common forms are: writing, visual
images, music and moving images..............Copyright protects the form
or way an idea or information is expressed, not the idea or information
itself."

I'm pretty sure  APRS is a registered Trademark of Bob Bruninga WB4APR....
I've seen that stated on several presentations and have also been using it
on some of mine recently......  Hope it's right :-)

Hi to all on the group.



Just a question on the term "APRS" should this be represented as a
trademark
T or as a copyright C or maybe as a registered item R



I've done a little research but am unable to resolve this.



Now I know that from time to time Bob Bruninga does monitor this forum.



Any cluse would be appreciated! (this is for use on the VK7 APRS Website)



Please email me directly on scottevans5 at bigpond.com

I am pretty sure that APRS is NOT a registered Trademark in AUSTRALIA.
Registered Trademarks are for the country of registration only

Darryl,

Would the free trade agreement with the US have an impact on TM?

No... I believe that Trademarks still need to be separately registered in
each jurisdiction
