I'm selling generic label Electronic Cigarettes, but I can brand them. I'm thinking of using the bitcoin B's to incorporate into the logo/design/name somehow. It will help spread the word of BTC to smokers.
Before I do so, I want to make sure I'm not going to be sued down the road..
I think the legal concept to which you intended to refer was trademark, not copyright. As to whether anyone has sought to register any Bitcoin-related trademarks, I don't know. I somewhat doubt it, but I could be wrong. You'd want to have an IP lawyer look that up for you before proceeding further. IANAL, YMMV, etc. etc. etc.
Just as an aside, if I had a trademark of any sort and found someone was misappropriating it to put on cancer sticks, I'd be more than a little bit pissed off. Getting a lawyer involved would be a good idea if a potential Bitcoin trademark holder were to be of a similar opinion.
Thank you, trademark is probably more appropriate of what I'm looking for.
As for cancer sticks, ecigs are not cancer sticks they don't have any of the toxins cigarettes have with the exception of nicotine, half of what's in the liquid is in food.
And thanks to everyone else who replied, I think I'm satisfied with the responses.
