   trademarks, copyrighting true type fonts..
  my questions are not related with game development, but none the less my high esteem of the people who visit this site forced me to post here..We need to trademark our company name and logo, Can we do this under a single application? we were adviced against doing this by the trademark office, any idea why?how much does it cost approximately to trademark a company name and logo?Is it possible to get any reduction in the trademarking fees, for small companies? what is the procedure?Can ttf fonts be copyrighted in the united states, if not, is there a way to protect them?Thank you for your time.Deepak T (deepakt@gmx.net)

Such things fall in the public domain. Otherwise nobody could ever, say, write a book, without owing royalties to whoever owns the "basic" english language''s typeface?  ;  if you are think of copyright windows fonts I''m certain you cannot legally do this.
