I recall that in the early 70's, someone legally changed their name to "James T. Kirk"...

Of course, this was looooong before 'Star Trek' became Paramount's big franchise (do we REALLY need a FIFTH Trek series?), so the whole TM issue didn't exist back then.

I seem to recall that Paramount eventually did TM the names of all the Trek characters. Can someone confirm this?

Take care.

: What would you think, if someone went to court, and wanted to have their name changed to "Indiana Jones"?

: Would this person be a devoted fan, or some looser trying to steal what belongs to everyone?

: (Heres the big one....) Could Lucas Arts TM. "Indiana Jones"??? I mean, how you you feel if someone TM. your name?

: Hmmmmmmmm..........
