What's this taken from? And could there be a copyright problem? --Spudtater 22:23, 15 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Patent vs. trademark edit

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

From the article:

Unfortunately, Florence neglected to patent the character and consequently lost a considerable amount in royalties. Recognising a large and profitable market, many toy companies took advantage of the popularity of the books and started to manufacture the doll, while other writers and illustrators took equal advantage, but in doing so changed the very soul of the Uptons’ creation.

IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer), but the idea that you could patent a character seems rather strange to me; typically, characters are trademarked. Is this just a mistake? If not, some explanation why patenting a character would be possible (not to mention desirable over trademarking it) would be nice. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 14:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I assume much of the information in this article comes from her biography
'A Lark Ascends', Norma S Davis, Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press, 1992.
ISBN 0-8108-2511-2
Shouldn't that be acknowledged?

Bertha Upton edit

Did she work alongside her mother? In a lot of her books, "Bertha Upton" is cited as the creator/author as well. - Whisperjanes (talk) 14:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
