Our Copyrights, Trademarks and Service Marks

Copyrights

Every paragraph, or part thereof, on every page currently or previously published on this website is an original work by Mark Kehrli. You may not copy anything that has been written on this site without first obtaining, and then retaining, written permission. I highly suggest that you research the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, then research how takedown notices work at Lumen, formerly Chilling Effects. I use a service called Copysentry from Copyscape to automatically detect and document plagiarism.

Many of the descriptions used to illustrate ideas or convey thoughts are original works. You do not have to copy my exact words to be in violation of my copyright, you only have to convey my original idea, thought or description. For example: "Understanding the five needs of tilapia" is an original work, conveyed in a way that has never been done before. Re-writing this work using different words would still constitute copyright infringement.

Registering trademarks is only required for international claims. Adding or changing letters or words to these trademarks still constitutes infringement.

All of them are first use in commerce or first use in market and registered or common law and have been used continuously on products sold by Lakeway Tilapia. Our use of the trademark Food Grade constitutes first in the market of tilapia fish sales.
