There's no way Dracula is not copyrighted. What next, StarWars theme?


I actually registered a trademark for Dracula.

OMG. This is even worse. Since there was no trademark for your sector on the super-popular title Dracula you jumped right in and trademarked it for your use??

So the future of expiring trademarks and copyrights is people rushing in to re-register a trademark under their name? What a bleak thing.



1897... copyright holders have really done a number on you.


I could have sworn there was a very popular movie by that name released within the copyright window. Yep: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/

But, sure, I guess Dracula is wide open for re-registration in a whole bunch of sectors.
