Members Sabo Posted January 9, 2010 Members Posted January 9, 2010 Hey, I am trying to find out when/how/if a band's name can be copyrighted. For example i have a band with a cool name and i dont want someone to steal it haha. I don't think the name is in use by another band, at least not at the level of touring and releasing albums. At which point (over a period of time does a band's name become their own? Does it matter if two bands have the same name? Any help would be awesome.
Members BlueStrat Posted January 9, 2010 Members Posted January 9, 2010 I don't know about New Zealand, but you can't copyright a band name in the US. It's something you trademark, and I think trademark law is international. But your best bet would be to google the trademark laws in NZ.
