    I've been reading all the posts of this thread. It has prompted me
    to research and review the definition of trade dress and to seek
    copyrights for four of my jewelry designs!!! 

    Thanks Avi, for posting this article. It really is an interesting
    subject. I went to the govt. copyright website and saw examples of
    trade dress: Macdonald's is a really good example, Golden arches etc.
    It seems the more specific one is regarding the design elements and
    the public recognition of those design elements in relation to a
    brand name the more the laws governing trade dress will support a
    claim. 

    Again, thank you for posting the article.
