What is the difference/definition between/of a copyright and a > trademark? I think what you want is a patent. I didn't see the original article, but if it's the idea, you are talking about a patent. Now I'm no patent lawyer (and I'm sure that the first 'bzzznnnnt' flame response will include that last statement :->), but I believe the following. First, patents have historically not been done in software. Second, I think I have heard that some software (ideas) are being patented these days. -- Wade | "Ah, a work of fiction!
