Hi guys ----

Perfectly OK....there are those guys who distribute the parody WinBlows98 and they're unlitigated so why not?


>>I've developed a software package ready to distribute which I call 'WinMason'
>>
>>Is the 'Win' a legal trademark of Microsofts' or can I include it in the name?
>>
>>Thanks in advance.

>WinMason is totally a different word from Win95, WinNT. The word "Win" is just a prefix IMHO. For as long as there is no registered "WinMason" as trademark in the SEC office, no such illegal use of the name "Win", otherwise, the company that owns "WinZip" could have been sued for that matter.
