Is the bitcoin logo and the word bitcoin, BTC copyrightet, trademarked or patented in some way?

Can everyone use the logo and words on their website or products as a t-shirt or others without getting a angry lawyer on their back?

Just curios....And of importance to many i think?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I think it's free to use as long as bitcoin belong to everyone and no one has seen Satoshi Nakamoto. You are up to use it anyway you want.

Saying "the logo" is misleading. Yes, you can use "the logo" all you want, and anywhere you want. But who created the specific logo that you are using and are they enforcing some sort of copyrights on that specific item?

It may be hard, but try to find out who created the item you want to use and make sure that it's okay with the creator that you use it. I assume most of the major logos are under a http://us.creativecommons.org/ license, or are public domain.
