Info: "Droid" is a trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. REALLY?

Yeah i bet lucasfilm is making a bunch of money off of that now. I would have copyrighted everything i could from that movie if i was them.

I noticed this the other day and thought it was funny.

I think our Gov't is retarded for letting people trademark words in the first place.... just like patents on "gestures".... but of course anything retarded the Gov't will do....

Well I'm gonna trademark GadgetRick. Sell some t-shirts or something.

Indeed Mr. Lucas is/was a smart man. I wonder if he trademarked Wookie perhaps Verizon will release the Wookie next.

No how about just copy righting the word "Gadget" . . . that is closer to the broadness that this copyright covers . . . think of all the people who would have to pay you royalty's then

Of course it is. I dont understand all these people complaining about this, how ridiculous, it is only BECAUSE of Lucas that the term droid exists. Get over it and pay your dues. When youve made a 3 billion dollar empire, then you can charge for whatever words you want to own
