Talk:Neverland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the book it is Neverland, one word. - Patrick 03:06 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)

Apologies. I didn't have the book in front of me, so I tried to rely on memory and what I could find from Google, which was inconsistant. I should have left it alone. Go ahead and redirect it back, then. -- Zoe

Removed from article: In Snow White, Snow White's mother does not die, but goes to Neverland instead.

Is this true in some version of the story. It is not in Grimm's original. Rmhermen 23:24, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

Was Barrie the first to use this name? And if so, does his estate have any claim on its use?

Copyright never protects names, so him being "first to use" it wouldn't necessarily give them an exclusive claim on it. Names can be protected as trademarks, but only if they're used consistently in the marketing of a product or service, and the play/book/movies have usually been marketed using "Peter Pan", not "Neverland". I just did a quick check of the US Trademark database, and found several registrations by Disney (for "Return to Neverland") and by a few other parties registering that name for one product or another, but nothing that looked like the Barrie estate registering a claim to it. So I doubt it, but only the courts could say for sure. (And of course this only refers to the U.S.) Tverbeek 04:32, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
