Writer question
Pen names are confusing af like you have to copyright it?
-
IANAL, however, I think trademark applies to pen names.
-
I never copyrighted my pen name, actually, but no one else has had the urge to use it as far as I know.
-
Google search later, pen names may be trademark-protected, but aren’t copyright-protected. Though, more practically, I think other writers (& lawyers) may gang up on somebody poaching another’s name.
A scorched-earth option, make your writing sufficiently notorious so nobody dares to be associated with it.
