[Sca-cooks] Copyright question?

[Radei Drchevich]

>From a course I took in a small business seminar when I was still a
vendor, I was told:

Names and Logo's are Trademarked

Artistic<writting works, paintings, sculpture, ect> works are copyrighted

Products and production methods are Patented

So, a recipe would need to be registered with the patent office to be
protected.

  Ok, folks who are in the copyright know. There's been talk about
  the fact that you can't copyright a recipe, though you can
  copyright the exact wording of the instructions.

  Can copyrighting a recipe prevent someone from using that recipe to
  make food for sale? Like, if I say I have a copyright on my kiffle
  recipe, could someone use it to make kiffles to sell at a bakery?

  Similarly, (OT for food, but closely related, and my brain is
  wandering far afield at this late hour...) how would that relate to
  printed patterns (like, a sewing or knitting pattern)? Clearly,
  you couldn't reprint the pattern and sell it. But, can you make a
  garment from that pattern and sell it, even if the pattern says
  that you can't?

  Thank you, oh knowledgeable ones!

  'Normal' is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work,
  driving through traffic in a car you are still paying for, in order
  to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes,
  car, and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford
  to live in it. -Ellen Goodman

  [T]o admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our
  libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what
  value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of
  freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries. -Virginia Woolf
