[IxDA Discuss] EVENT REMINDER: NYC IxDA - The 7-Minute IxD Soapbox (a.k.a. Pecha Kucha) - Tue, 11/13

[Katie Albers]

Searching the Patent records, I found nothing referencing either 
"Pecha Kucha" nor "Klein Dytham" in any field. (Note: the patent 
might not use those terms and might be held in a different name, but 
it's extremely unlikely that the words wouldn't appear At All.) 
However, "Pecha Kucha Night" *is* a Registered Trademark....a 
completely different kettle of fish. Basically, it means you can do 
it that way, you can even call it Pecha Kucha, but you can't call it 
a Pecha Kucha *Night* without permission from the trademark holders.

Note: I am not a lawyer, but this is how it was explained to me by one.
