Then it's easy. First use of the and the use of a "tm" symbol and trademark notice to mark it as trademarked, are all you need. I'm not even sure if the tm is legally required. Registration of the trademark is not legally necessary, it just helps to prove first use. Sloth itself is not something that can be trademarked. If, however, it could be defined as a documented, novel process for achieving peace, then they might be able to patent it. Unfortunately, as I understand it, filing for a patent does take considerable work and, therefore, is not something a slothful person would undertake. With regards to our being slothful interfering with our porn and its aftermath. One does have to make a few compromises in life, doesn't one? Sloth tends to fall by the wayside in those circumstances. @David: I think the problem is that you can’t trademark sloth unless you use it as a proper name to identify a business entity, product or service.

Silly me. After pondering all this for a bit, I have a new concern about how this couch/sloth - firm grasp of the remote business might adversely affect the Shalampaxian penchant for watching porn and the natural actions that ensue. Are a lot of Shalampaxians ambidexterous so one hand can maintain control over the remote while the other hand...well, provides some immediate gratification? Inquiring minds need to know. The porn industries could suffer dreadfully.

Manexposinghimself will be very happy to learn that his efforts at embodying the true spirit of slothfulness will not keep him from his well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize next year. @Patricia: That’s great to hear.

They should be able to appreciate the quality of his ideas even as he sits on his sofa, remote in hand.
