The individual that is the subject of the article is mixing terms, which is curious for one with ready access to counsel. A "copyright" registration does not indicate that one is an "inventor." One way to look at his omission to try to enjoin all from using the term "e-mail," is as an admission that the word was incidental to the registration, is and was not protected, and that it never mattered for the registration whether his use of the word was original. Brings to mind mismarking of products as being subject to patent protection, which, of course, is against the law. Would be just charmed to see an extension of those principles to improper assertions of copyright protection.
