Hi Rachel,
How would you know if a term is copyrighted? I had no idea that the word
‘Paleo’ was copyrighted and I wouldn’t want to violate Amazon’s terms.
Thank you!

Hi Sarah! Copyright is different than trademark, which is I think what you’re talking about here. To see if something is trademarked you can go to the USPTO and do a search. For the paleo example, the word “paleo” is not what is trademarked; it’s the complete phrase “The Paleo Diet”. So you could still use the word “paleo”, just not the phrase “The Paleo Diet”.
Thank you for the amazing information that you are providing.
Hi Tiajuanda, you’re welcome!
