I think you mis-understand the law Secondlifecoin....
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Intellectual_PropertyNearly 180 countries have ratified a treaty – the Berne Convention, administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) – that sets a minimum set of standards for the protection of the rights of the creators of copyrighted works around the world.
https://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/summary_berne.htmlTurkey is one of the 180 countries.
https://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/notifications/berne/treaty_berne_230.htmlHow will I know if my business name, when used with "SL" or "inSL," is confusingly similar to a Linden Lab trademark, domain name, product, or service?Even if you use your own word mark or name with two or more generic nouns, you must also make sure that the resulting name with "SL" or "inSL" is not confusingly similar to a Linden Lab trademark, domain name, product, or service. Our trademarks are listed here (
https://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/trademark/tm_chart.php), and our products and services include our virtual world platform, tools, and scripting language, our virtual currency services, virtual land services, in-world content, and informational resources in-world, on our website, or anywhere else. The Guidelines illustrate this rule with specific examples of names that are confusingly similar and are not OK.
If you're using generic nouns, you're more likely to avoid a confusingly similar name if you choose a noun combination that's distinctive, rather than just descriptive of your business, product, or service. For example, do not use descriptive names like "SL Avatar Clothing" or "Avatar Skin inSL," which could be confused with the default avatar clothing and skin provided by Linden Lab upon registration. Instead, use something more distinctive like "SL Avatar Indispensables," "Avatar Radiance inSL," or "SL Style Points." You get the idea. The more fanciful or arbitrary, the better.
Why can't I register my business name combined with "SL" or "inSL" as a trademark or a business name?The Guidelines prohibit registration (as a trademark, service mark or business or organization name) of any name combined with "SL" or "inSL." You cannot register the name in full because it includes our trademarks "SL" or "inSL," which represent our business and product, the Second Life virtual world.
However, you may seek registration of the portion that is your name and does not include "SL" or "inSL." Before choosing any generic noun combination for your name, you may wish to consult an attorney for legal advice on registering it as a trademark or business name. Linden Lab cannot provide you with that advice.
Why are there restrictions on the kinds of businesses and activities with which I can associate a business name with "SL" or "inSL"? How will I know if my business or activity falls within a prohibited category?The Guidelines for Using SL™ or inSL™ limit how "SL" and "inSL" may be used in order to preserve the value of those trademarks for Linden Lab and the Second Life community. Like the inSL logo, "SL" or "inSL" may not be used with names for businesses, organizations, products, services, websites, or activities that are not suitable for a General rating or are inconsistent with our Terms of Service or Community Standards. Again, the General standard is one that's familiar to the Second Life community. However, if you're uncertain whether your business or activity falls within a prohibited category in the Guidelines, you should use your own brand names without "SL" or "inSL" or any Linden Lab trademarks.
The above found on:https://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/faq.php#faq22I state this because your logo is "SL".Also special consideration of the wording is to be noted:
"...we've given you special permission to show the association of your business or organization with the Second Life virtual world by using "SL" or "inSL" with your business or organization name, product or service name..."You can use trademark "SL" to SHOW ASSOCIATION with SECOND LIFE VIRTUAL WORLD.Your business can use "SL" (i.e. Second Life Coin)
IF related/associated with the SL™ Virtual World. Unfortunately your Second Life Coin has no association with SL™ Virtual World.
And just to reiterate:
"...you may seek registration of the portion that is your name and does not include "SL" or "inSL." Before choosing any generic noun combination for your name, you may wish to consult an attorney for legal advice on registering it as a trademark or business name. Linden Lab cannot provide you with that advice".However, your company is also called "
Second Life Coin" and this is deemed not authorised to use:
Examples on what is
not OK to use according to SL™ Virtual World. As you can see, you cannot use this name.
