     These questions are of importance to me because they all have something to do with what I will be dealing with in the near future or even right now. I am going to have to deal with trade names, Trade name- used to identify both nonprofit and for profit business entities, whereas marks are used to identify products and services produced by such entities. Nolo, Patent, copyright, &trademark, pg 462. I have to be sure to know things like unfair competition. Unfair competition- is the legal umbrella that governs any commercial activity that tends to confuse, mislead, or deceive the public about the sale of products or services. Nolo, Patent, copyright, & trademark, pg 465.  I need to be sure that if I ever shoot a scene that has a trademark in it, that I do not make it a parody of a trademark. Parodies of trademarks- a trademark parody occurs when someone imitates a trademark in a manner that pokes fun at the mark. Nolo, Patent, copyright, &trademark, pg438
