Gun Trust / NFA Trust
I recently wrote this article about the hidden traps of holding title to NFA firearms in a revocable trust. This issue has been coming up more often lately when talking to clients because there is more awareness of the benefits of what is commonly referred to as a “NFA Trust.” As I mention in the article, there can be serious unintended consequences when transferring these weapons to a revocable trust.

Great Title, But can you protect it?
Many people believe that titles to publications or other works cannot be protected. This misconception stems from the fact that although copyright law protects the content of a particular publication, the Copyright Act provides that words, slogans and short phrases are not protectable under copyright law. Copyright Office regulations and numerous court decisions have determined that titles are equivalent to short phrases and, as such, are not protectable.
