Today we had a company meeting and one of the things mentioned was trade marks. These are obviously important for a company to protect intellectual property, yada yada. We were asked to guess what trade marks we owned and then were given a few more. Much to my surprise one of the trade marks was for the InfoBasis In-Betweeny Page™. This was a page that I wrote and my brief was to write this page to slip in between two existing pages of a process seemlessly. Because it had no easier name it was referred to as the inbetweeny page. Apparently we have now trademarked this name and I was duly presented with the trade mark certificate nicely mounted. And in case you don't believe me you can go and look at:

I love my company. It has a sense of humour. :)

Heh, congrats!

Makes one wonder how many wotsits or thingummys are registered trademarks. ;o)

Quite a few wotsits but they seem to be all related to the "potato" snacks.
No thingummys, apparently. Somebody needs to change that!

*grins* I wonder how many other patents have a similar story behind them. I just find it amusing the company's based in Napier Court. Mine, all mine, muahahah.

Hey stranger :o) How are you? Seems like an age since I last saw you! Must go for a pint sometime and catch up!

Hey, Chris! I'm looking for a spare Masquerade Ball ticket to purchase, and [livejournal.com profile] oxfordgirl indicated that you might have one lying around. Would this be the case at all? Thanks!
