Granted Patent For Slide To Unlock  You're confusing patents,
copyright, and trademark so much that I can't make heads or
tails of what you're raving about.  A company I know of applies
for a copyright to a word (not common everyday word, but the
name of a famous person from old times).  Copyright does not
apply to "a word". Perhaps the company in question applied for a
trademark.  There are hundreds upon HUNDREDS of other patents
that were granted the copyright  This is complete gibberish. I
really have no clue what you're trying to say.  The copyright
that this particular company applied for was not only under a
different category than all of the above, but it even had
another acronym attached to the name, so it was TRULY unique.
Assuming you're referring to trademarks, appending a couple
letters to the end doesn't make an old trademark new again.
Trademarks exist to protect consumers
