The messages about the golf course have confused copyright
and trademark. My message was based on a newspsper article
that specified trademark as the legal issue, and TM seems
much more appropriate than copyright. (Is landscaping
a tangible medium of expression?) Yet most messages refer
to copyright. Would our participants in Houston be able to
see the pleadings and resolve this dilemma with primary
source material? Incidentally, someone did refer to TM
claims to the famous tree in Monterey. I believe the same
folks are asserting the rights in both cases. They claimed
that any images of the tree are protectible TMs of the land
owners.
