Since this topic had not been considered seriously, my claim to be the 'first investigator, promotor and reformer to tame *Time Metrication/Decimalisation*' remain with me, under World Intellectual Property Organisation.
My discussions with USMA & Calndr-L are therefore 'sharing of intellectual understanding among authors'.

It seems that Young means *registered* trademark, which means it is not just a distinguishing mark, but also registered with the proper authorities to achieve legal recognition. Since the declaration on his page does not include the word "registered" nor any special symbol (TM, or is it �),I tend to agree that he has not really registered this term officially.
(Like proffessionals in many other trades, lawyers tend to create specific professional terms and name them using regular words, which cause laymen to assume wrongly that they know what the terms mean -- just think what a term like "energy" means to a physicist vs. what it means in everyday life. The trouble is, in the legal field such a layman's mistake can cost dearly).

Without commenting on the calendrical content of this page I'll simply note:
>Copyright � 2003 by Gavin Gregor Young. "Renewable Electricity Solutions"
>is a trademark of Renewable Electricity Solutions. "Suppressed Information
>about Alternative Energy and Science" is a trademark of Gavin Gregor Young.
It is ludicrous, even ridiculous, to assert ownership of English phrases. And in any case G. G. Young seems not to understand what a trademark is. Webster defines it as: "A peculiar distinguishing mark or device affixed by a manufacturer or a merchant to his goods, the exclusive right of using which is recognized by law." So G. G. Young, if he does understand what the term means, is claiming (a) his ideas are goods which are manufactured or marketed by him, (b) the phrases he wishes to trademark somehow distinguish his ideas from those of others and (c) we are no longer permitted to use said phrases except to refer to those specific ideas of G. G. Young.
This does not incline me to read the rest of his webpage.
