The URL http://www.pov.com/ points
to http://www.icast.com/, some
media company. Oddly, the domain
registrant is "Persistence of Vision",
but the expression doesn't appear
anywhere at the ICast site.
Is ICast using POV-Ray's popularity
to gain traffic..?
Curious,
Ray

If it was http://www.POV-Ray.com there would be a conflict of interest
because POV-Ray is a registered trademark. POV however is not a trademark
of the POV-Team therefore does not represent a problem.
Per POV-Legal
"POV-Ray", "Persistence of Vision", "POV-Team" and "POV-Help" are
trademarks of the POV-Team.

Have a look at the links Bob gave.
http://www.disneypov.com
On the page they use "Persistence of Vision". Doesn't sound good to me
...
Just my two Pfennige.

That is the type of trademark that would be hard to enforce unless you had
the power of someone like Disney's attornys behind you. If they had on
their site something that said "Persistence of Vision Raytracer" then there
might be a good reason to go after them but for the phrase "Persistence of
Vision" I think it would be impractical because it is also an explaination
for a known physical phenomenon.

If you have a trademark, you can enforce it when somebody uses it as a
name for an organization or product. Let the POV-team (tm) decide about
it.

Why, if I had the power of the Disney attorneys behind me I would sue all furry
woodland creatures for intellectual copyright infringment and force them all to
dress up like hairless rats! Mwuhahaha!

Check this out...its actually dealing with Linus Torvalds and his protection
of the Linux name. But its the same idea as expressed here. Worth the read.

Is it an actual "trademark" or just a copyright? I see the copyright on
the "About" screen from the Help menu but no T. As far as I know they
are not really the same thing.
