Geo Topic Author	Well I started the column in 2004, so yes. I also believe that anyone trying to put a legal claim on the name would be stopped rather quickly by the people who make BEER NUTS, those little peanut snacky things and who have owned the name since time immemorial! Oh, yeah, and I know Norm Miller. Lives 90 miles away from me (sorry, 140 km) I was before him too!

I wonder is the Patent Office still open at this hour on a Friday...

Funnily enough, the sample search on the trademarks database[/url:2x8nnkh0] is "Guinness". I wonder do they get many people logging on to find out if anyone owns the rights to the word "Guinness" <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" />

Geo Topic Author	Hmmm,,,but there is a WTO agreement on trademarks that might prevent you from using the name "officially" maybe not, but if the Beer Nuts company pressed it, I'd have a feeling you'd lose!
