In America isn't it necessary to send them the first 25 and last 25 pages
of Source? Or has that since been abolished. I don't have to do that in
Canada, although our fee is almost double the American fee.
Also, since I'm already of topic, there was another post stating that you must
register a trademark. Not true, which is why you have (in superscript or

There I've just created a trademark, or maybe not since I've ripped off
a registered trademark.
