It's possible that, in some jurisdictions, there might be protection, but not in most, and not federal protection. However, particular representations of the S&C may be protected as specific expressions. The S&C, however, is, in general, not subject to protection per se. An intention to infer the support or sponsorship of a particular lodge of grand lodge might be regarded as a false statement or representation, but that would be fairly thin.<br /><br />Ralph SheltonRalph "Bulldog" Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239301173006989514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-45452165947655206132015-04-30T13:17:49.686-04:002015-04-30T13:17:49.686-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ralph "Bulldog" Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239301173006989514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-60546107425375339212015-04-28T11:02:51.993-04:002015-04-28T11:02:51.993-04:00Grand Lodges can copyright specific artwork for th...Grand Lodges can copyright specific artwork for their trademarked use, pass rules against Masons using the sandc to promote businesses (most never do) and other such things, but nothing prevents anyone from slapping a sandc on their business or bogus lodge to sell products or services.
