Check that Spongebob Squarepants figure your kid got at the burger stand. Did someone get a royalty for it? You betcha! Paying royalties on a toy?!?!?! Now that's robbery! <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Sure as I'm a clarinet virtuoso, I'm wearing SpongeBob underwear right now -- and it's officially licensed! <br /> <br />Word on the street is BNSF is beginning to "protect" its trademarks, too. <br /> <br />And speaking of BNSF and SpongBob,,, did you ever notice how Mermaid Man is painted in BNSF heritage colors -- orange, yello and green? Wonder if there's a royalty being paid on that one??? This photo shows the top half of his carbody: <br /> <br />[img]http://www.spongezone.net/biomm.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />ST
