I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME UNIVERSAL CODE OF PRACTICE WHICH DEFINES WHAT IS LAWFUL AND STANDARD REGARDING OWNERSHIP OF TM. i DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY CASE LAW TO GUIDE US AND I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A LAWSUIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAMPERS DEVELOPMENT OF SHARING TM. IT NEEDS A SOLUTION TO OPEN THE DOOR TO AN EXPLOSION OF TM SHARING THAT CAN BENEFIT ALL PARTIES. THE CODE MUST PROTECT THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BY ALLOWING FREE USE THAT IN NO WAY IS A DISADVANTAGE TO THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER. I BELIEVE THIS IS POSSIBLE AND WE SHOULD CREATE SUCH A CODE. IT DOES REQUIRE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY EXPERTISE. IF A LAWSUIT CHALLENGE RESULTS, THEN THE COURT DECISION WILL PROVIDE A PRECEDENT THAT WILL HELP US DEFINE WHAT IS FEASIBLE. BUT MAYBE THE CODE CAN BE CRAFTED TO AVOID A LAWSUIT AND STILL ALLOW THE SHARED OWNERSHIP THAT IS VITAL TO OUR FUTURE.
