- slowmovintarget 8y ago:) Pretty sure the Romans have prior art: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accio https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accio
- rajesh_kumar 8y ago:). No IP from JK Rowling. Just a huge fan of Harry Potter. And not making enough money to afford a lawyer! Thought the name was relevant for a search engine. I specifically did not mention Harry Potter in the website to avoid such a scenario. You still think I am treading dangerous waters here? Maybe I should knock-off/rephrase the section from my website.
- legostormtroopr 8y agoIANAL, but I’d be careful. I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but even that was my first thought. Even if it’s based on Roman word, the prevalence of Harry Potter and Accio as a summoning (aka search and retrieval) spell may be enough to get Warner Bros involved.
