OWNIOTS 2
About the name Owniots™
I was looking for a word dealing with ownership that had never before been used and by the process of trial and error found OWNIOTS, which fit the bill quite well, giving zero hits on Google on September 30, 2011.
Needless to say, Owniots™ is a trademark of Andis Kaulins as of this day, marking this blog.
If you use the word Owniots for commercial profit, please be aware the we "own" the word, and you could be liable for heavy IP infringement damage payments.
After all, if Apple, Inc. can lodge a monopolistic claim to a common word like apple, then a newly coined word like Owniots is a natural "owning" ;-)
