Hello,
A new user registered a few days ago using the name "Harry Potter". Warner Bros and JK Rowling have a trademark registered for this name.
On the new users talk page ( http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk%3AHarry_Potter ), MammaBaer posted some concerns about the user name and its legal status. I'm not experienced in trademark law, so I post this to the list.
Is the use of a trademarked name as a username problematic?
Maybe it's his real name.
