This is a question that probably can not be answered here but I will throw it out there in case someone may have some knowledge.
I am wanting to do some scrolled clock work and also some pens based on the theme "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" I know Jimmy Buffett has the song and others have done it probably paying royalties. But is the theme or the words copyrighted or trademarked and not for general use??? Has this been challenged??? Is there a challenge to be had??? The combination of Margarettaville and that song has produced famous photos of martini glasses, parrot and Jamaican beaches. I am sure we all have seen these. I would like to make a pattern for scrolled work and as I said do some pens with that theme.
Any thoughts or helpful insight would be appreciated. If you know actual facts and want to PM me and not post then feel free to do so. Thanks in advance.
