 FACT: When Peter Parker is talking to Mr. Jameson about the Green  Goblin and the name "Green Goblin" is first suggested... Mr. Jameson  takes credit for the name and says something to the effect of "Call  the Patent office, I want to copyright that name"... This is not  factually correct. The PTO (Patent and Trademark Office) deals  exclusively in only Patents and Trademarks, NOT copyrights. There is  a separate and distinct Copyright Office which handles copyrights.  He should have said, "Call the copyright office"
