You want to copyright the design after we make it. Got that. Are you sure it is not already copyrighted?
Quit shuffling and deal.

BTW, I'd go 50/50, just to make the math easier. 51/49 sounds like a control freak tripping over his ego. 8)
Actually, copyright doesn't succinctly apply - it's registering a trademark which does. But, if you want to create a matching design to copyright to go along with the registered trademark...
...I know my 49% will thank you.
I've never sent a poster an unsolicited PM, but the practical idea itself requires such privacy, I believe. So, my PM is on its way to you; you don't have to reply by PM - you can just tell me what you generally think of my idea here in this thread.

Ah. I'd wondered about the 51/49 thing. If that suits you better, than okay. I don't possess an aversion to owning things, just didn't want to seem like a control freak/egomaniac. (I try to keep that secret)
Great idea, IMHO. I'll get on it.
Also I'll PM you my shop email so we can discuss all the related matters. Like how money goes from me to you, what to charge... details, details. 8)
Great. Then 51%(you) and 49%(me) it is.
Outstanding.
Ok, I've read both of your PMs and truly appreciate your ideas and diligence, and I understand privacy is best on some of this stuff (like with initially revealing the idea to you, our individual financial concerns, etc)...
...but, otherwise, I like using the publicness of the GB as an sincere attempt to keep our business dealings as transparent (ala honest) as possible and, automatically, a concrete part of the public record. Plus, the GB is our handshake on the deal.
I do not do any business - AT ALL - with any folks who don't possess honesty as at least a core characteristic...
...it seems like we're off to a solid start.
Can't wait to learn what your trademark investigation reveals...

Three versions of it trademarked on May 16, 2014.
So I think we are too late.
Hell of an idea, though. I liked it.

It is not, however, copyrighted. Hmmmm.
Nah...
...if the phrase has already been registered as a trademark, a person couldn't then use that registered trademark in any work of theirs they intended to copyright, unless permission/payment was given first.
At least...
...that seems to be how it should legally work to me.
Fvck!
Three and a half friggin' months...
